BIKE VIDEO THRD

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

So here's the thing.

You have no business riding in races like this, if your bike handling and decision making is this bad.

Bahrain guy should be disqualified. He's created carnage and destroyed the hopes of many. Awful, awful all round.#RVV23 #couchpeloton pic.twitter.com/ajS5xZ13N6

Got myself a mountain bike at Christmas. Took it down to Sussex to ride on the South Downs last weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1db2b4Q29U0

Oh that field of yellow flowers is cheering. Good to see. Trees aren't really even out yet here, and the fields are still pretty brown. It was a long winter and now a cool cool spring. Actually shaded roads over 2500m had small and shrinking dirty snow banks in a few places.

I did a short lap mtn lap today with lot of flat paved and dirt on my run in and run out. While I'm fatigued now, it didn't really satisfy. I am trying to just meet set time requirements and do rides.

Oooh, I forgot-- on a long ride up the foothills yesterday all the froggies were croaking so loudly 200m away in the wetlands from 2200m to 2500m, even though the reeds have little green yet. I think northern leopard frogs, but maybe chorus frogs. They reeds are just the skeletal tan remains of last year's growth. I almost stopped to walk down to them to record them. They're in there, though nightly temps up there are like 3 to 5 deg C. Daytime it's been like 15 to 20 but the sun here is v powerful/warm. It often goes from freeeeezing to blazing here very suddenly in May though.

cool video, lovely weather. ah I miss my mountain biking days.

Another one, this time in the Peak District last weekend (road bike this time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoggxPDLh8U
