Quit posting cuz I think our activity levels seem to have sorted themselves out (you and may others kick my ass each month 🙂 ), but this has been a rad summer for me. Strongest I’ve ever felt riding, rode more vertical feet than ever, shredded new gnar, tried shit on the mtb that scared the crap out of me (and lived!), and finally made a regular habit out of commuting.

I’m finally starting to feel recovered from the knee injury last October. I’m able to comfortably ride 4 or 5 days a week (most of it is commuting 10 miles each way) with a good mtb or cross ride on the weekends. Hopefully in 3ish months I’ll have time to start adding in volume and get back to 5-600 mile months.

A bike fit and custom orthotics were the best money I ever spent cycling wise.

Pretty much the same for me. I went with Specialized shoes, footbeds, and their BG Fit. Did a follow-up with the same fitter after two years when I bought new shoes this year. I’ve since become a huge fan of finding a fitter that you can build a relationship with. The first fit was good, but the second was fantastic. The comfort I’ve since had on the bike was a major part of all the miles I put in June/July/August.
