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. ...

A Quick Rundown of My Favorite Breweries Tennessee Brew Works - a really nice space, lots of room upstairs and a good view into the brewery behind you as you sip your beer. Nice outdoor area as well, and it definitely got popular on Sunday afternoon once the sun came out. Jackalope Brewery - a smaller space than Tenn BW, and the outdoor area was right off a busy road so not as peaceful. Regardless, was pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. ...

I’m having a great time learning to use both while working on the CSS for this blog. Being able to track which changes I like, while getting visual diff’s of the changes I make, is awesome and makes me much more productive. One thing I’m missing from this workflow is the ability to modify the CSS, preview it on the site in real-time, commit my changes both to my Git repo, and then have it deploy to the site automatically. Today, my workflow is: ...

This bike is going to get me above 2,000 miles this year. Maybe. I think. So far I’ve got 134 miles just this year. It’s barely been up to 60F most days yet, and as the spring and summer get into full swing I imagine a lot of my time will be spent riding this thing. Pros of a brand new bike: It’s exciting to ride - newness! It’s got the best gearing I’ve ever had on a road bike (50/34 combined with 11-34 cassette). It’s shiny and new. Cons of riding a new bike: ...
