Mr. Beanz Posted October 13, 2021 Share #1703 Posted October 13, 2021 20 night miles with 1k of gain, wanted more but got another stinking flat! Tis the season, to get flats! Lots of thorns and goat heads around here after a big wind yesterday. I've had 2 flats in the last 4 or 5 rides from perfect thorns, The Perfect Thorn. Just a nice flower I saw right in front of where I parked. Much cooler than I expected. Low of 55 after the 100+ we've been having, felt chilly. This was my face after I found that old crispy windbreaker and thin worn tights. But hey, they work! Good thing, didn't feel cold at all with them on. The fun times...............minutes before the flat! Slow leak, thought about doing the pump it up trick for the last 4 miles or so. But, couldn't take the lazy way out! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted October 13, 2021 Share #1704 Posted October 13, 2021 I've been remiss about posting. Such a slacker The bikes didn't get packed for our long weekend, but we did get in an 8 mile hike (was supposed to be 6 but trail markings were missing) I did manage to get the 10 mile commute in today, might end up being the only one this week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share #1709 Posted October 14, 2021 Only 9.1 miles today. Got a late start and then stopped to talk to one of my Amish neighbors and burned up all my daylight. He has an orchard right out by the road and he was picking apples to make cider. I had to catch up on all the Amish news. Farmer Dave (Jack’s owner) tested positive for Covid. I talked to him from a distance. He said he doesn’t feel bad, just gets tired easy. He said the dogs want to go to bed as soon as it gets dark so he joins them. One sleeps in a crate and the other one sleeps at the foot of the bed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted October 15, 2021 Popular Post Share #1712 Posted October 15, 2021 25.1 miles tonight, very nice solo evening. A little bit of gain, 1,417 ft. The high school from where I graduated is just down the street. Didn't realize I caught the name in the pic. Still digging this cheapo XOSS GPS unit and it's auto light. While the Garmin lays dark below. Totally dark ride tonight. Started a bit late, feel safer not riding into a sunset. Through in a little climb at the end up to the hiking trail, the road heading up here is dark but nice! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share #1718 Posted October 17, 2021 Solo 50, late start so man, it was windy. 16.0 average speed. Not bad considering I was doing 12.5 at times pushing hard. Mostly the trail and a bit along Pacific Coast Hwy. 13 MPH but trying to hide the tears in my eyes for the cam ha ha ha! The wind blew the fog and clouds away so the ships were nice and clear. Ran into an old forum buddy. Always like chatting with this guy. Of course he was telling me about a ride years ago when he rode along with us. Said he remembers being surprised that Gina was so fast.

Mr. Beanz Posted October 18, 2021 Share #1722 Posted October 18, 2021 30 with Gina today on the trail. Another breezy day, when isn't it? Ran into a Strava buddy Stacy and her hubby. Every time we talk, she tells me she can not believe how strong Gina is. Makes me laugh because Gina just rides along and is not competitive at all but yet so strong. Stacy and her hubby do randos and such and very involved in the cycling world around here. At the train station filling the water bottles before the ride. Stacy and Greg Just about to the beach. Water looks nice in the sun. But the other direction, you can see the oil and other poop. Stacy snapped a shot of us. Me, my spiders and Gina, and Chuck. Stacy's ride descrip. SEE, I told you I was a nice guy. Actually a bit on the lovely side. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted October 18, 2021 Share #1725 Posted October 18, 2021 Rode the Dogfish Head bike to work today! (10 miles) It needs some adjustments, With 3 speeds, it really didn't even feel like a bike. Still trying to decide what to do with it. Really, a townie bike. It's OK to ride to work, slow, not really exercise, probably just for cool days when I wouldn't need a shower, I can just wear my work clothes for the ride and take it easy. I need to take it for a gravel path ride, see if it's worth keeping for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually a river bed, but, most of the time (95%+) there is not any water running thru it. It drops off maybe 8-10 feet, but not steeply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slowed down and said passing on your left. She kept walking on the left so I said passing on your right and passed her on the right. She must have had earbuds in or was deaf.

groupw Posted October 20, 2021 Share #1737 Posted October 20, 2021 6 on the commute 12.4 on the gravel Got the chance to chew out a kid in the parking lot on the ride home. I was riding past Planet Fitness and this Mustang was rushing through a parking lane about 25 mph. I saw him and slowed. Saw his window was down and yelled a big “HEY!!” He turned, startled, face turning white and says “sorry!” It was rush hour and he was trying to turn left out of the parking lot. He had to wait for traffic, so I had time to make some points. This is a parking lot. You don’t go that fast. Sorry You didn’t even look my way until I yelled. Sorry I’m not just mad for me. People are walking to and from their cars! Sorry Lets be more careful and aware in the future Sorry About that time the raid cleared for both of us and he was able to get away from the grumpy old guy on the bike! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted October 20, 2021 Popular Post Share #1738 Posted October 20, 2021 25.1 miles, solo ride tonight with 1,437 ft of gain. Very nice, cool evening for us SoCalers. I do wear my mask to keep my ears warm and protect my lungs a bit nowadays. While riding, I see all kinds of crud floating in the air as cars. buses, and truck pass. Thanks to the lights showing the crud, I found another reason to keep the mask on while traffic is present. 4,117 miles for the year, aiming for 5,000. Pretty sure I'll get it. 152,749 ft of gain so far. Not bad considering I didn't even think about adding some gain till about 3 months ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted October 22, 2021 Share #1748 Posted October 22, 2021 Seven miles cold and wet to test this saddle. I was planning a lot further ride but I was already cold and then it started raining. I know one thing, this saddle is hard. My sit bones don’t have any natural padding. I need to get a lot more miles before I give up on this saddle. I had hi hopes for it. Cold and rain every day in the forecast. I have thirty days to decide if I like it. I think it would be fine on pavement but I don’t have pavement. I paid an insane amount of money for this saddle. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
