RE: https://mas.to/@meganL/117173944252546916
:boost: I know folks prefer a crowdfunding platform where they can see a thermometer...I haven't found one with a ToS I like yet so I just did a total raised since August 29.
Combined folks donating directly via PayPal or indirectly via Bandcamp, the total raised is $246.38.
Thank you so much! That has almost paid for 5 PT appointments. I'm going to continue crowdfunding for a while because I need more PT, the mobility aid debt is 1000s, and I have PhD application fees coming up.
Thank you!! 🎉

I've been working on a secret project this month. 20 years ago I lived in the UK and decided I had to go on one epic bike ride before leaving the country so in July 2006 I cycled from Land's End to John o'Groats - the length of the country from the furthest South-West point to the furthest North-East. The route that I took was just over 1700 km and it took ten days of cycling. It was fun, but also quite dangerous. A lot of those km were on A-roads, some of them on dual carriageways which are motorway standard except that they lack a safe hard shoulder to pull over onto. In all honesty, I can't really recommend it.
Anyway, the secret project this month was to ride the distance of LEJOG while doing all the usual things that I do each month. I decided on 1407 km as the target as that's the shortest possible LEJOG route. No need to push myself too hard this time.
I only thought of this idea in the second week of July. I'd made a good start with the 200 km ride that we did on the first Sunday of the month, but I'd also had a couple of relatively lazy days so I had fallen behind the ~45 km a day required to finish the distance in 31 days but not by much (I told you it'd be relatively relaxed).

Registrations are now open for the next British Human Power Club race meet at Colchester Sports Park on the 9th of August. Nice smooth tarmac, good sightlines and sensible* corners make it the opposite of last weekend's twisty silliness at Hereford and Evesham. I'm also hoping that August means it won't be stupidly cold, like it was when we last went there in 2022 and I had to un-jam my chain with frozen fingers.

* For certain values of sensible: There's a steep embankment on the outside of the hairpin to keep things interesting if you overcook it.

Unfortunately, the #climateclassic cycle ride for today, which goes along the future Dutch sea front at 1 m altitude, was cancelled and/or shortened (depending on your start location). Why ? Because of the climate change that the ride tries to draw attention to !
The temperature and humidity were considered too high.
But we could still collect shirts at the start in Groningen so we were sort of committed to a minimum 60 km ride there and back, and we decided to follow the route all the way back to the furthest point from Groningen, before then riding to our respective homes.
Each person's total distance was different. For me it worked out as only 120 km instead of the expected 160 km total. It was indeed warm today and we rode at a relatively modest pace as a result. But very pleasant it was, with excellent company including @TheoZw and @twilwel
And there's some good news. Because it was cancelled for us this year, we have already paid the entrance fee for next year:

@insl: It's now on his website at https://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/custom-builds/recumbent-brompton/ and official: #BenCooper aka #Kinetics plans to offer a #Brompton FWD #recumbent kit in the future!
Citing from there:
"This, with some more development, will be a kit that you can add to your own Brompton – there’s no modification needed to the mainframe, it just replaces the front fork. Watch this space…"
There's even a video of unfolding it!
This solves at least the "problem" what to do with my current Brompton if I buy a G-Line. 😉
