I couldn't believe I saw this (actually two of them in a row like this)... left a msg for the County Highway Department. Someone's going over the bars. I wasn't able to slide it back. Those things make me nervous even when intact. It seems like if you got a taar in one of those slots it would not be good. Or maybe not, but I am not aboot to test it!

Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share #802 Posted June 25, 2022 Saturday 6/25. 69 miles on Maryland’s eastern shore. 64 feet climbed (it’s really that flat). 16 mph average. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and very well supported. We met two guys from Kansas who are riding a century in every state. This checked the box for Maryland. There were three routes today, 35, 70, and 100. Pictures of the Bellevue to Oxford ferry and a deadrise boat used by watermen on the bay. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share #803 Posted June 25, 2022 41 miles at an easy 15.7 speed. I had planned to ride solo but my buddy Tony asked if he could ride with me. He wanted an easy pace having had some tests done on his heart recently. Usually a pretty fast rider but today he was off the back a lot. At times I was doing 15 and he couldn't hold my wheel. Then some reason the final stretch to the coast, he went around lifting the pace for about 1/2 mile. Mistake! He suffered even more on the final 14 mile return. He says it was more inactivity being off the bike for a month and the 93 degree heat really zapped him. So we stopped for 🌮 tacos. They always make everything better. The plate with the green Chile pepper 🌶 on it is Tony's. That taco is language (tongue)....NO THANKS 🤣 But Tony says it's good 👍 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it felt spongy they cooked it wrong. Properly done lengua has a texture like pot roast. I order it when it’s an option.

Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share #813 Posted June 26, 2022 20 solo miles today 16.0 average. Worked into my pace going easy for an easy ride but then picked it up on the little climbs. Met a nice couple at the start. They dropped me right away as seen in the pics.🤣 Hot day of 95 on my Garmin during the ride but 99 on strava. But a hot day on the bike is better than any hot day at work. Same temperatures, I didn't realize it was this hot on the bike like I do at work. 😄😄 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post groupw Posted June 29, 2022 Popular Post Share #828 Posted June 29, 2022 About 20 miles on the Stradalli. Change in work assignments means I’m not able to get out in the mornings for a couple weeks so I’m going out at sunset. All was going well until I turns off the main roadway into our side streets and hit some water on the street in the dark. Luckily the same smooth pavement that is like ice in the wet also doesn’t tear up skin as bad if you hit it! Also my speed/cadence sensor is shorting me distance. The distance didn’t feel right so I compared to past rides and sure enough, it shorted me about 2 miles or so. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is surprising how much car and truck suspensions can smooth out the ride over washboards. I try to ride in the middle between the tires of the cars but the cars are all over the road looking for smoother place to drive. The best I can find is usually right on the very edge of the road where it meets the grass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
