Soo true ,

sooo much nicer than summertime temps.i did a 29 km ride today in the bush , took around 5.5 hours riding time.(very technical tracks,(self created those of today over 2 years of sawing cutting grading etc..
Yeah they’re a lot of fun. The city I live in used to do an annual Stuporbowl alleycat. The various stops were all pubs, and iirc you had to knock out back a pint at each. There were folks who took the race seriously and pleeeeeenty of people who used it as a low key bicycle pub crawl.
In catalan and spanish we named it BICIFARRA and was one of the biggest nights in my district recent history.
One of my favorite century rides is the Hudson Valley century based out of Bard campus. Absolutely gorgeous part of NY. They didn't have it this year but I'm hoping it comes back.
Awww, nice to find lots of like minded folk - vape and go!!!
I still have a Charge Plug - flip-flop on the rear, never rode it fixie except for a bit of messing about, but used it regularly to eat miles across the city where I used to live. Also been inverted plenty of times by busses, cars etc. luckily I seemed to bounce
Now I live up on the moors in West Yorkshire and it's utterly useless - the hills are so steep it is impossible to ride up them and also to stop going down them even pulling as hard as I can on the brakes - the brake pads do nothing - they're just rim eaters and it's absolutely terrifying
I invested in a proper mountain bike early last year, but being a bit of a newbie biker on the hills I didn't want to end up being the jerk in hospital with a broken leg during the pandemic, so I put it away for the time being.
More generally, in respect to this whole thread, I love a vape, just a little, and to go running over the moors. I am not sure if I would class myself as an 'athlete' but then most folk I know get out of breath walking the routes I run, so maybe I am.
I also like my home brew beer, so have to dedicate a certain amount of trouser space for those
Nope that's not me... but the landscape looks familiar and yes, it is a very beautiful place to liveWait... this isn't you
Must be a beautiful place to live!
When I did road bikes, I always had a computer to monitor my pace and distance and time. I've never had any measuring devices for my mtb riding but since this year I'm getting out a bit I figure I might as well keep an eye on things like distance and elevation and time and heart rate, etc., just for kicks. I logged onto a cylcling gear website this morning and they were advertising a popular brand's new entry level running watch (go figure on a cylcling website). But I looked into it a bit. Then looked a bit more and decided to bite on a vivoactive 4. I may be shedding a lb. or two this season
To stay on topic, a couple of rides ago I left the house in a rush due to time constraints. I left my water and my flower home. Can't remember the last time I rode without flower, but I'm very clear that using it is the only way to go for me. Might not be able to match kel's level of usage but even so no doubt my mindset is through the roof better throughout the ride when I vape before.
Yes, it is tempting, I went through a period about 2/3 years ago where I considered the same.
