  1. Having a great early #cycling season, with 11 rides in April and more than 800 km on the season already. Of course, now the rains will come and make it more challenging to get out. New #bike, new computer, #Insta360 camera all giving me new incentive to get out there into the gorgeous early spring we've had in temps running from the 40s to the 80s F.
    Here's some fun video of rolling through two local #coveredbridges :

  3. As of April 9, I have 488 km of riding on the season (my whole last season was 2000 km) – and a lovely new bike, a Cervélo Caledonia. I went over to the electronic shifting/disc brakes / wide tires cult, and I am not regretting it. I come back from rides so much less fatigued!

    It allowed me to go up a cinder trail that I've been avoiding in recent years because it was really rough on my 23mm tires on my Roubaix.

  6. February was a rough month for #cycling around these parts, so yesterday was the first day I was able to get out. Here are some nice highlights from the #SchuylkillRiverTrail near #valleyforge

  8. This is a important part of my PPE set which I use when cycling on my racing machines. You will know how important it is to be protected when your hands need to hit the pavement at speeds of 20 to 50 km an hour while you have to break a fall, because you're tire gave out, and lost its grip, on sand in a corner. Without high quality gloves like this you will have severe injuries on your fingers.

    The gloves I wear are rated to be used by truck drivers, truck mechanics & welders
    These gloves are rated to be used even in cold environments, which means that they are thick, absorb heavy shocks, keep the hands warm and give you Total Protection

  10. I'm definitely shallow, but as I'm about to hit 65 years of age, I was pretty pleased that without really aiming to do so, I set a new record going up a steepish (7.3%) climb today, one I've done at least 100 times before. It's also early in the ride, when I'm never really warmed up.

    September legs are the best legs.

  12. Do other #cyclists experience the phenomenon of the roadside washcloth? Okay, this one's more of a handtowel, but still . . . for the more than two decades I've been #cycling, I have always observed discarded/dropped/lost washcloths along the roadside. I always document the first roadside washcloth of the spring, but after that there are too many to catch them all.

  14. After a mere 12 (!!) years, my #Specialized Comp #cycling shoes are giving out – or, at least, they're losing their little heel pads. I could probably keep riding in them but they've served 10s of thousands of miles (without ever aggravating my tendonitis, which is miraculous). New shoes on order from my local bike shop. BUT: the new shoes mean I need to go to a new pedal system. Been running on Eggbeaters for nearly 20 years; gonna try SPDs again.

  15. Bike shop just called and say my wheel (the SR-3 stock wheels that come with Giant Contend bikes) are bent and need to be replaced.

  16. kids, I'm doing Ride London again this year, raising money for the brilliant Bike Project, who do up bikes and give them, along with training and support, to refugees and asylum seekers. I'm WAY out of shape, having had my slowest start to the year cycling since before COVID. Here's the link to sponsor me, if you'd like to help support them and motivate me :) xxx

  18. Went riding with the big boys again. Rode about 45km yesterday. 😃👍 #RoadBikes #MTB

    I took Grey ⚫🚲 because Big Bike ⚪🚲 went comatose for a while after it got wet. It turns on but I haven't tested it since and wasn't sure about using it on a long ride.

    I was the only one on smaller wheels and pedal assist. 🚲⚡😅

  20. Pic from Fall 2023, 50 mile ride on Erie Canal Trail, one of the parks where you can actually go down into the place where the remains of the locks are; in other words I would have been underwater if the locks were still operating. #jeffcogravelbiking

  22. The by far two most beloved steeds in my stable.

    One is a mountain bike - which is the best and most fun Gravelbike for me.
    And the other is a gravel bike - which is the best and most fun Roadbike for me. Munching all the miles with comfort and speed, regardless of the road.

  24. Now I’m a disappointed 🚴

    I checked a month or so ago with the company importing #canyon #bike I’d be able to test a road cycle today in my own size, made sure I’d be able to go there (which was a task of its own) and ... you guessed it, no test frames for me 😢

  26. Bummer. It's fire drill time. Just when I'm trying to sleep. 🙄

    The alarm is so shrill in my room. Really* loud. 😵‍💫 I should probably keep earbuds or earplugs in my room so i can plug my ears while I get myself together ready for my escape.

    On a brighter note, I went riding 🚴‍♀️ after work and met with some old schoolmates at our Alma Mater. Pretty good turnout. About 20 of us on #mountainBikes and #roadBikes.

    I'd like to go sleep now. Nothing happening. Why are we still out here? 🤷‍♀️

  28. Too much time off the #bike (as always seems to happen in one summer month or another), this time thanks to a need for antibiotics that have left my body feeling like anything more than existing will push me over the edge. Hoping to force myself out tomorrow, if only for a light spin on the trails. Definitely no climbs – the stomach's not up for it.

  30. Today's #bikeride: Went from not feeling great to doing my longest, hardest, climbiest ride of the season. Offered the chance to come home flat and easy, I was inspired by one of my kids doing something really difficult today and chose to add a stupid hard climb (1.5 km, 8.2%) to the end just because. I'm here to tell about it, so I guess it worked out. Overall it was 63 km, with 928 m of climbing.

  32. With yesterday's #BikeRide, I got very close to 1000 miles (1595 km) for the season so far, with, ostensibly, 15,645 meters of climbing (9.7 miles), easily doubling last year's sad numbers, and besting 2021's (more of a normal year). Strongest year (so far!) since 2017.

    Still, every time I get ready to go, my brain thinks of other things I should be doing. Why does it hate me so?
