I went for a ride today and here are some photos

Sweet trip but you have dust on your sensor

Yeah, didn’t realize until I’d uploaded the pics. Gotta take care of that

This reminds me of the stress dreams I used to have after I hit a pole in the dark.

How long is your commute?

11.3 miles each way.

This was pretty stressful to watch but it may have been because I was listening to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zViIajZwH-s

Got inspired and recorded my commute for funsies.

The best (read worst) part of working from home is you’re always at work!

Was riding home tonight. Crossing the James River means a protected but fairly narrow pedestrian/bike walkway. Two bikes/people can pass one another but it’s tight.

In the middle of the bridge I come up on a guy going real slow on a fully unlit bike. As I approach I slow to a crawl and as I’m deciding how soon I want to ring my bell and pass he abruptly stops and leans to the left. I just scoot around on the left and the hear him yell at me “you could have said something, asshole”.

Raised the bird and continued home.

I live in a valley so every ride is a climb. This is on the dry desert side looking at the snowy side.

Also my first ride with a GPS gadget, 2 hours of riding, 20 miles, with 2750’ of climbing. Big change from the high plains, where I was lucky to get 275’ of climbing.

Friday night brewery ride. Couldn’t convince anyone to join me. Their loss.

I’m confused are those the names of the beers or do you just write something down and they decide which would match. I really hope it’s the latter.

Beer names! The one on the far right was weirdly spicy, and when I asked about it they realized they hadn’t flushed the line switching over from some weird habanero stout. So I got a fifth taster! Buzzed MUP crushing ensued.

I’m kinda bummed. I’d like to try a place where I could write down things like grapefruit pine cone, smells like weed, Buffalo NY, and orange tic tac and get an assortment of beers.

Did a 90 km gravelfondo today. I was faking it big time from about half way but got through. 140 folks turned up for two courses. 2600 metres climbing in mine. Was probably more MTB than gravel but I recall some of the gnarlier trails back from XC racing in the area in the 90s. The 43 mm gravel kings were in their element today. Their turdly sidewalls were great amongst the big rocks. 38 teeth on the front and 46 on the back meant that only blown legs and loose surface effected my climbing. Someone built a Chaise Lounge out of corflute at the top of the last checkpoint.

They actually could have done that! There were probably 15-20 beers on tap, and most of them were pretty weird.
