Have a new heart rate monitor for the bike (Wahoo Tickr) which should produce some interesting data I can both monitor in real-time from my head unit (Wahoo Elemnt Bolt) and then review in aggregate later on Strava/RideWithGPS. I’m excited. ...
2,000 miles down this year. Not too bad! That mileage is on my body, not on the new Canyon bike, though, which is sitting as 1,907 miles as of this morning. Another 100 miles on that thing and I can celebrate again. Starting the year I had figured 2,000 would be an achievable goal, although I had no idea I would be achieving it while summer was still around. The remaining weekends in August are set to be busy(-er) which means I have to plan a new 2019 goal with that in mind. 500 more miles sounds easily do-able, considering the City to Shore MS ride will be 75-100 of it and all in one day. ...
A non-stop bikepacking race from Portland, OR to Washington, DC. Amazing. The guy who finished first has a post up on Reddit, too. ...
Nearly 160 miles. Great weekend of weather, and riding. Thank God it’s raining today. Really need the break. ...
107 miles this week; 128 last. Good weeks, even despite all the rain this past week meaning no Tue-Thur rides. ...
Because I’m sore. Also because I’m going to play with Pi-Hole and remove all ads from my network forever. ...
100 miles in two days seems to be it at the moment. Ah well. Debating if another 43 tomorrow is a good idea. Will decide in the morning. ...
Great ride today - awesome weather. A few shots below. ...
Going into the trip I knew I wanted to make good use of the B-Cycle network within Nashville, a docked bike-share which makes getting a few miles across the city much easier. However, since my last visit, Nashville has opened up to dock_less_ electric scooters. After some initial troubles getting them to work, I found that the scooters were a lot more fun to ride around when compared to the bikes. ...
Something about the downtown Nashville area (similar to other places like Philly and New York City) is that there seem to be too many choices. Given a short half-week in the city, it’s difficult to get to all the different places you might want to try. My approach has been to ensure I hit one of each cuisine (BBQ, southern comfort, new American) and pick the best reviewed place I can find offering it. This has meant skipping meals in more specialized places such as a brewery offering light lunch fare. ...
