Between a football game and the local fair there were an extraordinary amount of vehicles parked near the stadium last night. Including this guy parked in a new shitty bike lane.

Quite a bit of rain earlier in the week, today and more tomorrow night after a super dry summer. Good for the lawn, but too late for the local farmers who are trying to harvest the crops such as they are.

I had an amazing ride this morning, left super early, first hour or so was in the dark then watched the sun come up over farms. Saw lots of misty ponds and horses. Felt absolutely amazing today, bike was riding perfectly and these roads are nice with lots of rolling hills. Was a very good day

About 8 km from the end of the ride my fender got more rattley than usual and I noticed the metal clip had broke. 62,700 km since I installed them. Maybe I'll steal a clip from another fender I have laying around and rivet it on.

Had a pleasant ride this evening, didn't get any pictures since it was dark, but it's been too hot and humid during the afternoon to ride after work the last few days. I had a really good run where i hit like 3 or 4 green lights in a row which was nice, hate having to dismount a bunch on rides in t he city. Saw a guy riding a really weird looking recumbent early on in the ride. Looked like it was front wheel drive. Gonna rewrap my bars tomorrow finally since the rape is tearing on on side where i lean my bike against the wall and it wore thin.

I've had enough close calls on a new MUP that I'm going to stop using it. Its basically a sidewalk running parallel to a busy road lined with businesses. Little visibility at the business access roads and of course every car invariably blows past the stop sign, and never looks in the down traffic direction. Even at the controlled intersections drivers blow through red lights making right turns, and don't look for anything on the path when making left turns.

This happens every so often (the feeling of not wanting to go) and I honestly don't fucking know why. it's even kept me off the bike for a few months. Can anyone explain this shit? I'll just take today off because honestly I don't feel like dealing with this feeling and it does look like it may rain. I do around 25 miles a day so I can still hit my weekly goal of 100 miles a week.

This is my daily commute (morning is reversed) over 4.5 mile ride. Usually I do the morning in 15 minutes (hit 35-40 mph coasting downhill steepest part), afternoon takes 25 minutes (only get in the 6s mph going up the steepest part)

Thoughts?

Last few rides have been nice warm evenings. This time of year I ride around town checking which road construction projects are wrapping up.

Didn't ride 4 days in a row because a hail storm created a ton of garden work that needed to be done before damaged fruit became unusable. Spent about 12 hour total peeling apples ending up with 24 kg for the freezer. Did some canning too processing 20 lbs of tomatoes, and made 9.5 liters of apple butter from apples too small to peel. Still ended up tossing about 10 lbs of small apples in the compost.

Decent weather tonight but one of those rides my legs just weren't happy about. Modified the last of my ride to stay on the MUP. Didn't need to be riding on the road as traffic was leaving the stadium just after sunset.

Recent heavy rain has left random sand patches on the road.

Nice 60 miles cruise through farmland today, ended up having to reroute on the fly because of a road that was closed off for work on a bridge. I managed to keep pace with some real roadies for about a quarter of the ride before they turned off, and that was cool but it destroyed my legs for the ride home

Its mostly to provide support for an oversized "handlebar" bag. The bag doesn't actually attach to the handlebars, but plugs into the vertical posts when the U shaped plug is pulled out.

Which is also why the light mounts are where they are. With the bag installed its impossible to use a handlebar mounted light.

You can do it if you can do that ride. The grade never goes above 4% the entire way up, it's just pretty constant. Once you get above the treeline the view is insane and being up there in a bicycle is a unique experience. The road is a bit fucked near the top with cracks and potholes though.

Today I did Pikes Peak and I rate it as much more difficult. I was out of the saddle over half the climb and cursing I did not have a bigger cog.

Starting to wear through the tread on my rear tire. Don't want to spend money on a new one yet, so I moved it to the front which should slow the wear. Also smeared some silicone on the thin spots. But I did that kind of late, probably won't be dry enough before I want to go for a ride.

I've got annoyed that since the quarantine I don't ride my bike daily because I work from home. It's also pretty impossible to organize a proper bike ride on the weekends because of family obligations. So I gave up and took the darkness pill and went out for a quick ride at night. 16 km, took longer than I wanted, but also got lost in the local wine yards once. I had a lamp on my bike and one on my helmet, so my sight was alright, but I still didn't dare to go too fast because there are some sudden turns which would launch me into canals or what not if I notice them too late. Not to mention unexpected holes on the shitty roads. These are of course not that much of a problem at daytime. I'm thinking about getting stronger lights or at least something with a rechargeable battery. Also a front bag or a saddle bag wouldn't be bad to carry my phone and keys around. So, yeah, it's much complicated than going out for a run, but also more enjoyable. Hopefully I can squeeze in a few 1 hour rights every week.
No photos because my phone's camera is shit, but the night lights of my town looked gorgeous from the hillside.

My left arm has been sore for a while. I thought I may have torn a tendon or something since it wasn't getting better. Between a month of waiting for it to get better. Followed by a wait for an ultrasound, and another wait to see my doctor its been over 2 months for the verdict ... no indication of injury.

With that ruled out I'm pretty sure now its a vaccine side effect called SIRVA. Looking back at my records the pain started a few weeks after the injection. Doctor didn't bring that possibility up when I mentioned it was the same arm / location as where I had the shot. Most of the time they seem to just want to churn through their patient list and get you out the door as fast as possible.

That's very common and means they fucked up the position of the needle, happens with the flu shots too. Basically your arm is just going to hurt like shit for a while, not much you can do about it and doctors will refuse to help you most likely. Drink ginger or tumeric tea, eat raw garlic, avoid sweet food and take some aspirin when the pain gets real bad.

Found some metal T s while portaging across a rail line.

Went to turn on my helmet light heading into an unlit area, and nothing. Had to be a bit more cautious than usual on the MUP due to dynamo light beam pattern. Can't see much to the side when going into turns. And horizontal cutoff keep light low. Coming up on pedestrians they are only illuminated below the waste, and if they are wearing dark pants they don't stand out very well.

Light worked with a different battery. Problem might be the conversion cable I made so I can use a 2 cell battery with the light. The light came with a 4 cell battery, which died and I only have 6 cell betteries with that connector which is a bit much for this time of year where I only need the light intermittently.

Must have fried the protection circuit last time the battery was charged. Multimeter reads 0V. I have a spare one of those 2 cell batteries which I was able to use tonight. I shorted the adapter cable for attaching the battery to helmet instead of putting in jersey pocket. Dangling cable was kind of annoying.

I went out for another night ride in almost middle of nowhere. I suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at me from the bushes. I knew this moment may come one day so I was trying to keep calm. As I'm slowly getting closer, an orange body emerges from the darkness. And just when I was sure I'm about to encounter a fox, it turned out to be a cat. This night I've met two other cats in almost the same way. Just what the fick they are doing this far from human civilization is beyond me. On the bright side, it was full Moon out there, so it was rather whimsical.

Anon, you are aware that cats are predatory animals yes? They are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves in the wild. Cats were originally domesticated to deal with rodents on farms, they weren't really house pets, and probably shouldn't be, they're happiest when they're outside brutally torturing small animals to death like the psychopaths they are

Nice evening ride. Had a rabbit run out in front of me while hammering along on a single track segment, fortunately they generally aren't stupid enough to come to a stop in your path.

Getting close to home I came across a few pedestrians on the MUP that when they saw me coming decided to just stand dead still until I passed. I hate when pedestrians do the statue thing, it makes them harder to see.

Full moon again tonight, took numerous pictures the last 2 nights and most didn't turn out

Another nice evening and a few more coming up in the forecast. Went down a random path beside a railway I spotted on airphotos, but it ended up being mostly tall grass, but at least maintenance vehicle had been down it recently enough to flatten grass with its tires.

After dark I saw a dark spot in my peripheral vision and figured it was a bug on my glasses. Took them off, and no bug. Put them back on and the spot is back, take them off and I can still see the spot with them off. Rub my eye and its still there. At this point I'm starting to wonder if I'm having a stroke. Then I realized I moved my helmet light because I couldn't aim it high enough. In the new spot my mirror is casting a shadow.

Finished off 2 pairs of PI cycling shorts over the past week. I got a ton of use out of those ones. I decided to try on an old XL pair I started with before losing weight. In addition to being far too big, the leg elastics disintegrated.

Could tell right away it would look awful and rippled after putting the first piece down. So I just put it on the rims above the braking surface.

Not as reflecty as my worn out slicks, but will have a pair of chasing reflective strips. Maybe not as good, it might spook cagies as they can tell I'm not fully stopped while balancing waiting for them to pass.

My arm is feeling better. I had been going easy on it until the doc told me ultrasound showed nothing was torn / damaged. Using it regularly / stretching seems to be working out the problem. Due to the limited range of motion I was concerned I'd have problems with flat bars, but now that its getting better I should be fine. I can't say how it was injured or I'll get banned, seriously!

Do you have health insurance? If so go to your doctor and get an order for Physical Therapy. Health insurance in US loves to pay for physical therapy and stretching/range of motion/post surgery strengthening is like the one thing they do well.

A 25 year old kid with a super tight elbow is a curable problem. a 75 year old person walking bone to bone is not.

Was supposed to be a nice sunset ride with a view over the lake at the halfway point but me being a dumbass forgot to check when sunset was and the days are getting shorter. Still a nice aesthetic view though, one of these days I need to learn to take better photos. I had to chicken out of a hill on the way back, my legs just gave out on me. Was embarrassing walking up a hill with cars going by me, but they prob just thought I was a hobo, so it's all good. Was 62 miles with 2250 ft climbing which shouldn't have been as hard as it was for me, but i guess my legs were more sore than usual because I'd been running this week too

I'm sure the saddle played a part but in all the years of cycling I've never seen such a drastic difference as I did just making my shoes much tighter. I usually just made them tight enough and never really went much more than that. I wish I had tried this shit ages ago.

Wind was opposite of its usual pattern today. Usually windy during the day and light in the evening. But it was calm all day, then 25 kph wind the entire ride. At least it was warm and shorts / short sleeve jersey was adequate.

When I got home I had gone nearly 70 km, which was longer than the route I remembered building. The route was still up on my desktop, and I forgot to make the route go all the way home.

On the MUP coming up to pedestrians from behind with 2000 lumens of light is much better at getting their attention than a bell. Still too many of them for my liking so I'm mostly using the roads. Once it gets proper cold the paths will be deserted.

Back in the spring while the weather was still kind of meh, I rode nearly all the roads in the city. It was something I'd done several times before so I skipped the cul-de-sacs because they mess with the flow. With cooler weather returning and early sunsets I've been filling in a bunch of those gaps. Tonight I covered a big cluster of about 50 of them. Maybe 3 dozen left but more widely spaced.

Not exactly new. Riding every road has been a Strava thing for quite a few years now. And before that with paper maps and a marker. There's a site called wandrer.earth that keeps track of roads you have and haven't ridden.

It can be fun to systematically explore your entire city. Helps in finding better routes to ride and you start to learn where all the shortcuts are.

My city can be fully ridden in under 2 months. Some people have done all of much larger places like San Francisco, London, entire New York boroughs.

Covid canceling / reducing club activities has left me pretty bored the past 2 years. Last year I was coming up with random challenges to amuse myself. Including a 90 km ride to cover all 16 cloverleaf ramps around the city in one go.

Quad cloverleafs are kind of fun and exhausting but we only have 1 of those.

So you literally just ride down every little street in zig zag until you cover entire neighbourhoods and so on? I might have to try this locally.
It does sound pretty cool having such an intimate understanding of your city.

My city only has one as well but it is cager hell. I've spent an hour on it on a motorbike once though. Great practice.

Got out for the first daytime ride in a long time. Got up to 20C which is probably the perfect temperature. Last night while I was out I came across a fence that took a beating in a hail storm. Another reason to hate those stupid vinyl fences everyone is putting in. Rattley squeaky junk.

Same storm trashed what was left in the vegetable garden and bruised every apple in the tree.

I personally enjoy riding in the rain, it's comfy and it does you good (although it does the bearings in your Sir Velo no good, but that doesn't matter you can just give it to your receptionists after each quarter metric century recovery ride, it's still good enough for them).
Seek out the rain like you should seek out hills to climb. Staying in the pod on your hampster wheel at the slightest drop of rain is exactly what they want you to do.

Now do I want to replace it before or after tomorrows ride, too late to do it tonight.

If my frens are feeling tired and sleepy all the time and not riding as much as they would like to, consider taking a small amount of iodine before sleeping a couple times a week, just 1 drop in a glass of water, and add a sprinkle of salt. Also eat lots of garlic often and drink tumeric or ginger root tea. It is important to take care of your health so you can get more rides in

Finished covering the bulk of the named roads I skipped in the spring, making for the 4th time I covered the whole city. Decided to compare city coverage for each year since I got a gps.

2012 I got a gps in November and mostly just commuted to university. Late 2013 I started my first systematic coverage of the city, putting it on hold after it got too cold to do long rides, and finishing up in 2014.

2015 - 2018 I mostly avoided the middle of the city which isn't the best for riding. Also did a lot of riding outside the city covering nearly every road in a 50 - 60 km radius.

2019 I did another systematic sweep of the city, being retardedly thorough roads, alleys, motorways, parking lots, easements, paths. For motorways every possible combination of ramps.

2020 lockdown boredom ended up covering nearly as much as the year before, less minor parking lots.

This year I didn't bother doing alleys, parking lots, easements and skipped the inner expressways. Shortened it up a lot and I finished in May before the warm weather arrived.

I noticed the city added some more "dismount" signs, this time at a few blind corners. Didn't see any walk single file, reign in your dog, take off your headphones signs. Dismounting isn't an actual bylaw so some cyclist hating cunt in the parks department managed to get a hundred of these plastered at nearly every bridge on the MUP system. Having cyclists occupy twice the space doesn't seem like a good solution for a lack of space.

On day 12 of my riding streak. Legs getting stiff. Another 6 days to beat my previous streak of 17 riding days in a row.

have been a near exclusive mountain biker since i was a kid, and have never owned a road bike or cycled on tarma
hit over 50kph today on my mountain bike just booting it down a gravel road that wasnt even that steep and its just given me a little bit of a bug for going fast in a straight line
might invest in a gravel bike and go see how sketchy i can make the fire roads in the mountains feel

I have no idea what I should have done in this situation. I hope he wasn't hit though. I've had bad experiences with dogs as a kid (getting attacked) so if I see an unfamiliar unleashed dog I get really spooked.

Fuck I hope he ended up okay.

The only way to know is to ride it. I've ridden on some roads that turned out not safe and it is a fucking terrifying experience but you learn. Worst case scenario you turn around and go back.

I'd definitely ride it if there's not much traffic. Roads like that that are low traffic are very safe imo since cars see you coming a long way away and can pass easily so they don't get impatient. That road with lots of traffic would very quickly get dangerous though, so mind what time of day you ride it

Hit a wombat at 45 kmph
Well it was about 36 on impact cause I had a slight chance to slow
Crazy little bugger just ran across the path right into my front wheel, lucky was on my aluminium mountain bike with the front suspension unlocked so Youd barely know the bike was in a crash
I on the other hand, landed head first and I am completely convinced I’d be unconscious if not dead if it weren’t for my helmet which is in bits
Might try and turn these three quarter knicks into shorts to save them, love the chamois in them and the hole is very isolated, anyone had experience altering lycra, is it a fools errand?

It was pretty painful in the moment but had the gf bandage me up at home and she even went and got me some beers so ill have a few days resting up till my new helmet comes
I hit my head with such force but i cant even tell I did so my head feels fine. Mountainbike helmets are incredible, havent had a proper crash like that since i was a kid and my shitty helmet back then just disintegrated and i felt like shit
Gives me an excuse to get a new helmet and some summer weather gear for the heat over xmas that I was holding off on though

New pump track opens next Saturday.

Was checking over my fat bike after its summer hibernation and the front brakes were partially seized. Just needed to clean some corrosion off the pads and work the calipers a bit. Only getting up to 10C tomorrow, so should be a good day for first ride of the season.

Nice ride today but fuck the wind was strong. Sustained 20mph and gusts that went higher. Even when it's not a headwind still takes a lot of your energy just to deal with keeping the bike upright when it gusts. I tried an alternate route on my way home hoping that I'd be protected from the wind by some trees but i ended up on a climb that was impossibly steep. I can climb 10% grades just fine but this was more like 15%. I had to bail out and walk up the hill, was embarrassing but oh well. Still a really nice day

Something about this time of year where is seems like my fitness is fading for no particular reason. I've been much too worn out at the end of rides than I should be for their length / exertion level. Maybe I've spent too much time on the same bike and need to mix things up more.

Wind can really fuck your ride up. More than anything else. Sometimes it feels like you aren't even moving, it's so strong.

Took the fat bike out for a spin avoiding as much pavement as possible since I only have studded tires. A noise berm beside a motorway has rough single track along the top, less bumpy on the fat bike, so I followed it as far as it went. A few spots were better since fiber installers have been driving trucks out there. 50 km/h wind and 7C, so not great on the way back.

Upshifts on the new shifter / derailleur I install back in February are too slow. The cable angle at the derailleur doesn't look right so I need to check if I screwed something up installing it.

honestly feel pretty good tho, the side effects are all very physical, feels like i've been twatted in the ribs and im hobbling around like a dickhead, plus both arms hurt cause one has a cut and one has the vaccine sites, but i don't feel sick or tired which is what i really hate
hoping i can be back on the bike in the next 10 days-ish
have been out on my bike daily for so long i can barely remember the last time i skipped more than a rainy day or two, feels like shit cooped up

Enough rain yesterday for vehicles to push all the gravel into the dirt. Gravel roads will be nice packed and smooth for a while. Could have used another day to dry out, but I was good staying in a tire track.

I'm tempted to make a bunch of 1.5 foot wide ramps like this out of wood and use construction adhesive to bond them to my most hopped curbs.

There is a round post laying against the curb in one spot that performs a similar role. I think the city put it there for driving their maintenance trucks up on to a gravel path.
