Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm hoping my son will like to ride bikes. Right now the only thing he likes is keeping me awake.

What kind of camera and lens did you use?

This stomach bug is killing me, I took an old zofran, tums, and ginger pill. Crossing fingers as I make a cup of coffee.

I think that, early on, it's more or less a given that there will be an attraction. I think that the challenge will be in in the teen years.

They're good at that. My 2.75 year old daughter has a strong circadian rhythm and has been getting up at 6-ish every morning. It's starting to drive me nuts.

Cycling shot was a cell phone. Bike shot was a Sony A7II with an adapted (Zeiss) Contax Vario-Sonnar 35-70 f/3.4. I primarily shoot with adapted lenses, either Zeiss Contax or Nikon-mount Zeiss lenses.

Suffice to say I have never seen any of these occur in Australian airline travel.
My last trip across the pond was in 2014 and don't remember which airlines we used. The unpacking and sloppy re-packing is by TSA agents and that would be on any flight out of the USA.

I'm worried about my son catching this, I'm going to buy some anti nausea medicine and gentle ease formula on the way home.

Well, I did it. Changed the chain, ended up keeping the cassette on since after cleaning it really doesn't look too worn. Still had some wonkiness during my test ride this morning, so I'm going to swap the shift cable tonight (I'd accidentally kinked it in a couple places when installing a few months ago and it feels draggy) and go for another brief spin to make sure I'm good to go. Also, see those paint chips? 95% chance my crabon will asplode tomorrow.

So the good news is I am healing up from my injuries. I would say the pain in my shoulder and range of motion are 50% back to normal, which is not bad for only 2 days out.

I really want to ride with my club (but maybe a B or B+ ride, not my usual A- group) tomorrow, but mrs datlas thinks I should wait.

Should I post this question in the 41 with a poll??

Start a poll about whether or not to start a poll about on whether or not to ride.

Let me start my thread on going from the couch to back to back centuries on 12 hour notice first.

SBack from four great days of sailing and evenings at anchor, getting bombed by thunderstorms. A cheap fix on an essential boat part is failing and the replacement parts alone = a nice bike. With labor, a very nice bike. Oh, well, all part of the game.

@datlas, so sorry to hear about your misadventure and you know perfectly well how prone old shoulders are to progressive degeneration after injury. For God sake, take it easy and talk to a good sports rehab doc or smart PT, even an orthopod , before stressing that thing again.

You're a Chesapeake sailor, I believe. We spent last weekend at the Tides Inn, which seems to be a frequent stop for the bay yachting set, ever been there? Was a lovely weekend on the water it looked like.

We have been there maybe three times by water and love it, especially after the five or six days it usually takes us to get down to the Rappahannock. The whole Northern Neck is pretty nice for cruising.

Good luck with your impromptu century!
