...leading up to my ride. It was a holiday and I had the whole afternoon to ride. And then reality hit me in the face. Or, a steady headwind from the west did. I cut my losses at 30 miles and came home to my toasty (relatively) house.

Looks like his wife is riding his old team 'dale lucky (Napoleon dynamite voice)

is riding up Haleakala...and Ted did it IIRC didn't some one here or the LF ride up this? Anywho, how freaking cool.

I know some of you get bothered by dirty bikes. Mine got a little muddy on today’s ride.

I always tried to hit the speed limit on my way to work before entering the tunnel on my way to work. This guy takes it to a whole new level.

My road is in prime condition.

...and in time for the new cycling season (TdU starts soon!), GCN+ has released a Apple TV app, so I no longer have to run the app on my phone and push it to the TV. This is GREAT news. And, if you haven't subscribed to GCN+, you should.

I went for a ride with some friends yesterday that started over at their area. With the truck, I just put my bike in the backseat - with the wheels still on. No need to remove the front wheel (like in my Accord's back seat) nor attach the hitch rack (if I wanted to leave the wheels on). Open back door, put bike in, close door and head out. Wow. Makes it REALLY easy

...as a mellow beer to enjoy. Gotta love local beer and fun comics.

Included Frankie Andreu I got to freaking ride w/ a pro, albeit for a few miles. This is the First Dozen ride in Dearborn, MI. It's been held for just over 50 yrs, and one of my favorites. Anywho I finally rode w/ him for a bit We chatted before the ride. Says he's been riding a lot. Zwift too. I don't do that though. He asked how I was doing & such. Really nice guy. Anywho this is a 12 mile ride, and he was casual for first couple miles at 12 mph. Then he bolted I did too, but he went from 12 mph to probably 20 in a flash. He's fast. Closest I got was couple hundred feet behind them and maintained the gap for a few miles. 18-19 mph. But w/ a couple lights there was no way for me to get to them...oh well. The few guys he was riding w/ seemed like his riding buds, the way they were chatting and carrying on Welp, I can check this off the list. I would like to get a ride together w/ him and a friend of mine this summer perhaps. That be fun.

One of the best winter comic strips!

@az_cyclist Seen this on Strava. Couple people I know did it. Hear of it? The peeps I know randonneur all the time. This 187 mile ride was a qualifer for something called Paris-Brest- Paris 2023.

I'm sure @dennis can appreciate it, and @MickinMD can appreciate the historical stuff. I've got a few new routes mapped out - one that takes me pretty close to Unison, VA. The story (and this video) isover a year old, but made my local news recently and obviously ties in well with the growth in gravel riding. and another related one: https://videopress.com/v/4eGqMLXd

I stumbled upon this dude's video. These are trails I ride a lot of. Pretty cool.

Where would you get the gift card from. This is for a friend who has her first road bike. Einstein helped her select it used but in great shape. She has risen one season and has done a few tris. She is a swimmer come biker. need a gift card for her.

I think I’m going for a New Year’s Day bike ride in downtown Pittsburgh. Judy wants me to spend New Year’s Eve with her so I’ll be right down there. I’m not crazy about riding in the city but traffic should be light on NYD. The Western PA Wheelmen's annual New Year's Day ride. We start in Southside Works near REI. All are welcome. Meet at South Side Works near REI nominally at 10:45 AM, with the ride leaving at 11 AM. Please arrive early. Exact route and distance depends on weather conditions. Continuing recent tradition, we'll collect a $5 voluntary donation for the Community Human Services food pantry (www.chscorp.org/) A baseline route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29092849 From South Side Works ride to the Western End Bridge, then through the North Shore area to the 31th Street Bridge. Then along Penn to the end, when we cross over to Boulevard of the Allies. Ride on roads relatively free of cars during the holiday. Roads will likely be safer than trails in icy conditions, but we will play it by ear. Use common sense. Helmets required to ride and all riders please sign in for insurance purposes when you arrive. An event of the Western Pennsylvania Wheelmen (WPW). All are welcome. Even you. Really. Icycle Bicycle is a WPW club tradition spanning decades. We usually grab a table or 2 after the ride at Hofbrauhaus after the ride

How are you doing on your cycling/exercise goals for the year? I had planned to ride 4K this year, 3K at the very minimum. But I am now only at 1.85K and am just looking to make 2K at this point. This is the fewest miles I have ridden since 2017 (1,821 miles), when I inexplicably abandoned riding for walking for the last third of the year. This year, it has been major back problems. I couldn't exercise very much for most of the summer. Even now, I can't risk riding outdoors due to my back/spine problems. But it could always be worse. I am thankful for that.

...and are you headed to the US Nationals CX races this weekend?

...off my rear wheel (eventually). Still gotta find a wheel building class and/or spend a lot of time with trial and error, but at least the replacement rim arrived and the winter is approaching! Old Zipp that cracked @ ~593gm: New Carbonyl rim at ~531gm: Side by side with very similar depth and a fancier grooved rim on the new rim: With the stripped Powertap waiting for the spokes and build to commence:

. Not sure how it knew I was getting to go for a ride. I think SIRI snitches on me. Anyhoo lots of songs like this one. Way too much MFing on most of the songs. I discovered it does make me go faster. Got a PR and a 2nd place that was only 26 seconds slower than PR. -
I wish that I'd have this idea for a TV show. The guy rides his bike around cities visiting different restaurants. You've probably heard that almost everything tastes good after riding 30 miles, but the food he critiques looks amazing. So far he's ridden in the following cities: Asheville, NC - Boston, MA - Bozeman, MT - Eugene, OR - Minneapolis, MN - Savannah, GA - Solvang, CA - St. Louis, MO I haven't seen the St. Louis episode yet. It's on EarthxTV.

Uh, not so much Honestly, while I like the convenience of a box delivered to my door and that it can be broken down and reused later, it seems WAY more convoluted and probably pricier (not sure what it costs) vs just hitting up an LBS for a free box.

Alexey vermeulen wins again And I several friends who race it. Couple age group podiums 👍 https://www.athlinks.com/event/35208/results/Event/1034763/Results

I had a spoke replaced in the rear wheel, and I noticed on my second or third ride that there was a tiny bump on TWICE on each rotation - with an apparent high spot on opposite sides of the wheel. Out on the road, I basically put my finger on the brake bridge, and gave the wheel a spin. I could get it so the tire contacted my finger twice briefly on each revolution, but I haven't looked at it at home yet. You barely notice climbing at 8mph, but descending at 30, it is fairly obvious. @Rattlecan or others, is it likely that spoke tension when the wheel was fixed would do this? I thought it might be the tire, but before I replace a tire (it still has a little meat on it) I want to eliminate (or blame) the wheel).
