2015 On the road today...

I think wearing a helmet it contributes to hair loss. ... a lot of the peloton are balding or have thin hair.

Maybe EPO causes hair loss?

It is near the end of Autumn and we had very nice weather yesterday (Saturday) for the first of what I hope will be many Audax rides. Photo is at the Springwood Rd lookout in Sydney Australia. One of our better climbs with ~ 270 m of up over ~ 4 km (grades in low teens at times).

Yes, I first went from home to Rijeka and then along the coast, passing Opatija, Ika, Lovran...almost to Plomin and back. This is one of my favorite riding parts, because of the rollin terrain and nearby climbs( Učka). Not to mention being so close

I don't know current offerings, heard good things about sony R100 (?). Frankly if someone made a fixed length 24mm pocket camera that's what I would get.

Not many small cameras come with a 24mm equivalent. The Sony RX100 starts at 28mm equivalent.

For a fixed length compact, have you looked at a Ricoh GR? It has an APS-C sized sensor, same as a D-SLR, with reputedly stellar image quality. Not too expensive either. Most modern cameras have a panorama feature to get super-wide or you can take multiple shots and stitch them later in s/w like Photoshop Elements.
