Razors Edge ★ Posted July 8, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 8, 2018 BEAUTIFUL weather again! 60 @ 17.3. Took in two of my favorite but slightly more remote climbs - Stumptown and Taylorstown. Felt pretty good the whole ride, and I chalk that up to the awesome temps. On the plus side, I had a BRILLIANT idea before the ride, and tucked two stroopwafels into a ziploc and put it in my back pocket! They softened up just a bit after 2.5 hours riding. A great treat on a ride. On the negative side, I dropped a freaking cleat cover again ? I know where I did it - where I ate the stroops - so I will have to look for it when I get out there again.

Zephyr Posted July 8, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 8, 2018 I don't know how to measure it, but today was "stump day" for me. I did 4 hours digging out the stump of an old apple tree in the back yard. All I know is that I am tired. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted July 9, 2018 Share #7 Posted July 9, 2018 Wife and I completed a 13.5 miler today. That's about 48 miles in 3 of 4 days. I think it's a major victory for her... almost zero pain. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 4 hours digging out the stump of an old apple tree in the back yard. All I know is that I am tired. I understand this. I've dug 18 2x2x3 holes and have 7 more to go. Digging one of those in rock riddled soil is way more work than riding 60 miles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly why folks ride 60 miles for fun and dig holes for a living (or pay someone to dig holes for their living). Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like pretty significant progress. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 9, 2018 Share #14 Posted July 9, 2018 Beautiful weather day wasted by responsibilities. Son, wife, and I built a 10x20 feet shelter over his flatbed trailer and project Jeep. Will get a ride in Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like pretty significant progress. Tom Thanks Tom. Yeah, we needed to get her more upright. We added another stem extension as well as replaced her flatbar with some crazy bars. Those bars have 45s on them so she is even more upright if she wants to be. It's a great deal because there wasn't really any more options for her but to go recumbent or trike and we didn't want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
