I couldn't be with Governor @Schwarzenegger and Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo today in Paris but I support their efforts to switch people from driving to cycling. It is good for your health, it makes you happier and it is good for the planet!! @c40cities @Regions20 pic.twitter.com/GS1p1C4DfQ

i'm into it

Rear camera footage of my club run last week: https://youtu.be/QVlNFqU1hTg

And front camera footage of yesterday in a slower group dodging patches of ice: https://youtu.be/c-5g-wciQ38

It feels like winter is never going to end

i do enjoy seeing stuff from far away. as i always comment, yr roads look so narrow and hedge-y, it's cool.

here's a raw feed of my club run on a local section, before it got pretty sticky. my club is pretty select (me).

Cool. I was going to ask what you were riding but then all was revealed in the final seconds.

I’m so psyched while riding that bike because i really want to ride it on an ultra road/mtb/gravelly day later this summer- but im afraid perhaps neither of us is durable enough to complete the route. Failure to finish would require intervention by fam or friends. I cant try it alone, but not many friends think it sounds entirely fun or safe. But i get to ride that bike and daydream for now.

ok that's good

Did my six-day solo touring holiday. I had to shorten it from my original plans (because of the injury I got in March - I wasn't able to ride at all for a couple of months and then had to build up from just being able to do 10 miles at the start of June), not in terms of number of days, but in terms of how far each day, so the longest days were 66/67 miles instead of 90-something. As this is the first time I've been touring in over 25 years I made some elementary errors in the planning and I reckon I overpacked - my panniers weighed 11kg combined and the bike was nearly 12kg with the saddle bag / drinks bottle / camera etc.

I'm still editing and uploading video clips that are unlikely to be of much interest to anyone, but these are done so far:

(not sure how that got posted)

Anyway - day 1 around the New Forest (features an unexpected encounter with a load of donkeys): https://youtu.be/bfvHOH8BZIE

Day 2 heading west across Dorset and into Devon and suffering massively on >15% climbs: https://youtu.be/OH_zHZLEOsE

Chris Anker Sørenson races against a horse: https://streamable.com/zv70n

equine interspecies gravel racing is the next big marketing pitch

Pretty good sprint finish from the horse. I'd like to see a rematch where Chris Anker Sørenson has to pull the cart and the horse has to ride the bike.

The good old days when we were young innocent and less populated

Another one from my touring holiday: https://youtu.be/8R72bAQKZrY

so beautiful, i wanna ride there. so clear of trees it is like the great plains. also, i learned they paint dirt. that was a dirt part right?

It's all roads apart from the final seconds (a cycle track next to a road and then a cobbled track through a forest to a youth hostel), though most of the roads were ridiculously narrow lanes full of grit or even grass growing down the middle, with high hedges on both sides, and constantly going either up or down 15% hills.

Did you just get lucky and not meet any cars? I was driving near kingswear a couple months back and I got very good at reversing.

No. The lanes are often so narrow that you can't even squeeze past an oncoming car and have to stop and climb out of the way. Driving would be a nightmare.

My mum is pretty good at it thanks to living there but the paintwork on the left hand side of every car is covered in scratches.

How

To pull and bridge that long and then still have infinijoules to launch and destroy is insane.

lollll

jfc

vdp killed strava, sad. i was commenting to friends earlier that dame may be more ninja, but vdp was actually way more impossible.

Perfect club run last Sunday: https://youtu.be/vmQVyRTKXMQ

really sweet video - the three come across well

I genuinely like the EF guys a lot

what they are doing is generally good not bad. riders like woods or bettiol, and even further-outliers, like morton, are inspiring successes in racing, but they also have dimensions outside cycling that are well presented and marketed.

I went on a solo exploit for like 14+ hours of bike screwing around. instead of taking lots of pics i videoed little snips to capture feels. then learned how to use imovie on my phone, padded it with my buddies band recorded on a handheld at a local, and voila a bad short. ive watched it like 20 times because i love those spaces and that sound.

I've broken two SRAM front shifters now and this has been me each time

rodeo got a docu-interview w/ petervary about his 100% ultra set-up. tailfins make so much sense to me. going ultra with Al spokes, not so much. oth, in online commentary i seem to see comments much more of steel j-bend breakage than the i9 Als. he must carry a spoke or two, but i dont recall him pulling any out of his gear?

It makes me sad nobody will ever see this it’s quite a good primer on bikepacking.

As someone who doesn’t understand gravel cycling or bikepacking, it took me longer than I’d like to admit that it was all a troll
