24 miles and change. Finally back in the saddle after a cold. What a difference a week makes, beautiful fall is here.

Finally did a meaningful road ride today after a bunch of mtb'ing and a DNF at a CX race. It's chilly up here in the mountains right now, so I rode down the hill into warmer temps.

42 miles done today, and it was propar windy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Rode 41 miles today on a nice Fall day in the PNW.
|
25.5km on the first ride since my monster ride on Monday. Felt good. Also seem to have managed to fix the ticking sound that I have been getting from my bottom bracket recently by disassembling everything and putting it all back together adequately tightly, which is nice - that ticking was driving me nuts.
|
33 miles
|
9.5 miles until the tyre blowout. I am absolutely furious. Just 50 miles since the last time. Think I need new wheels and also going to get puncture proof tyres.
|
first ride in a while. just happened to be out of town…

I did an hour of zone 2 on the trainer.
|
37km on a blustery Saturday.
|
39 miles in what felt like 39°F & 20mph headwinds.
|
9 miles from City centre to my house after taking the bike for yet more repairs.
On the way back, some brain-dead louts in a black Audi got enraged and yelled "WANKER" at me, among other things, as well as beeping, gesturing with middle finger and V signs, all because I had to take the tram lines across the road at an angle to avoid my wheel going down into the groove and throwing me off. I thought it was fairly clear, that, but not to these reprobates apparently! |
I did my first gravel race today. I was quietly hoping for a podium in my age group, but 8th in class is a good start. XC mtb racing has been my "thing" for a few years, but gravel racing is a different beast.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...1aeea5a0c1.jpg Nice quick ride today. So glad the summer heat / humidity is finally gone for the year - makes riding far more comfortable. |
5 miles!
|
42 miles
A bit demotivated lately, so many anti-cyclist and very abusive people in my area on top of technical problems lately. Might take a break from it for a while. |
24ish, stumbled on a marathon on this trail, causing me to find alternate route via streets on the way back.

I took last week off as I had injured my knee somewhere along the lines, so I went out today and took advantage of the cool weather we got in today. I was just about to turn into my hood, and I hit something that I did not see, but it tinged off the base of the bottom bracket and then it sliced the sidewall of my tire. So I got in 74 and walked about a quarter of a mile. Luckily I had some new tires ready for when I needed them. Pirelli P Zero Race 30mm TLR in brown sidewalls, which as it goes, I really love the look of on the bike. I had black wall before. The old tires had almost 3K miles and probably could have gone another 1k. Edit: oh and the change of my chainrings to the 48/35 was such a great improvement, I was not hunting for a gear as much as I did with the 46/33.
