  3. Today was the Fort Collins Tour De Fat. The only other city that has this event is Asheville, NC. Both cities have New Belgium brand breweries.

    A guy standing near me said to his friends, “Halloween is nothing in this town. This is something else.” Attendance is free, and open to any costumed bicycle rider. Roller skates and skateboards welcome.

  5. [Note: I wrote this in 2014. Recently rediscovered in my Evernote]

    One day I put the Serotta
    In the basement
    and turned my attention
    to motorcycles and photography.

    In a blink, days became weeks,
    became months
    became seasons
    became years of dust
    settling on the bike
    as I sought other pursuits.

    And then the midlife came
    bringing with it a whole slew of
    existential questions
    fifteen extra pounds
    and the fear that the end
    was closer than the beginning.

    It was right around then
    when an idea stirred.
    A seed planted by a friend.
    And then one fine day
    the Serotta was dusted off
    clinchers filled with air
    water bottles filled
    and old Lycra stretched
    and prodded into position.

    Those first pedal strokes
    were like coming home
    So instinctive so natural.
    An old friend that you
    haven’t seen in years
    yet you don’t miss a beat.

    The years melted with every mile
    and there were no cycle computers
    or other riders to remind me
    that I was an older, fatter, and slower
    version of myself.

    Who cares that I barely touched the big ring
    and reached my modest
    VO2max and heart rate max
    on the slightest inclines,
    and that the creak in the bottom bracket
    had not, in all those years,
    automagically fixed itself.

    It did not matter.
    I was back in my bike zen zone.
    Where all that exists is the now
    and the next 20 meters of pavement.
    Spinning until the lungs
    ran out off puff and then
    Pushing a bigger gear until the legs
    threatened to cramp.

    Spin. Push. Repeat.

    And then my Achilles’ tendon,
    whom I’ve never spoken with before
    introduced itself and said,
    “Hello, I’m your Achilles’ tendon.
    It’s been years since you’ve used me like this.
    So please take it easy and we’ll be just fine.”

    It was a reasonable request.
    I eased up and enjoyed
    the pure and simple joy
    of riding a bike.

    Later that evening my legs tingled
    with that feeling of a day well-pedaled.
    I felt energized, revived, reborn.

    I could easily fall in love with cycling
    all over again.

  9. @ednl impressive!

    Ik ben 1x in Bandung geweest. Primair om de huizen te zoeken/vinden waar het familielid naar wie ik vernoemd ben heeft gewoond, en de school te bezoeken waar ze heeft gewerkt. Ik wou ook de sterrenwacht bezoeken die haar oom had laten bouwen, maar ze waren toen niet open.
