Very nice sunny day with temps in the mid 70's got some time and was able to ride the heavy slow clunker challenge 29er to Alma and back about 20 miles so I now have over 100 miles on this so challenge done. The ride up was pretty tough with the near 40lb beast but pretty a nice easy coast back.
Good chance this bike will end up here in the Alma bike graveyard in the near future. The blue Miyata frame was previous clunker that some how ended up here after it was donated.

Sporadic riding continues thanks to the hectic work and family schedules. Converted the Trek 950 back to the original bars last week and took it out today to get in some climbing and loner time in the hills.

I'm planning 2023. I think I have 2 weekends free until mid-August and then I move two girls to college.

Very nice weather in the 70's and mild here in the Rockies so I put the original stem and seat back on the 2nd clunker challenge 100 bike and took it for a last round about ride back to the thrift store from where it came hopefully someone can use it as rider, just bit too small and hard manage for me.
Despite being only about 20years old it looks right at home at the tourist ghost town of south park city.
Hate to say it but the Sram X4 dive train sucks never got all 8 in the back to work and will knock out true adjustment if you look at it wrong.

Never mind
Sorry,
I just wrote a rather long brilliant report on today's ride.
Unfortunately I timed out and lost the content.
You'll never know what an amazing day it was.
My fingers are too tired to take you thru this momentous day.
Next time, I'll keep it short.

I discovered a new-to-me trail. The trailhead is about 6 miles from my house, and just a couple miles past where I work, so this is going be a good option if I want to extend my commute home and take the road less traveled. Just off of Rifle Range Rd. is a trail that connects to Wildcat Canyon Creek Trail. You can take that for a few miles towards Tilden Park, a beautiful regional park that sits atop the Berkeley Hills and is bisected by a number of popular bike routes.
Heading down to the valley where Wildcat Canyon Creek run
Hard to see from the photo, but there are lots of bees coming & going from the hole in this tree. I was tempted to raid it for some fresh wild honey.
Nice hard-packed trail
Mirror pond, home many a turtle.
The trail ends at Little Farm, a sort of petting/feeding zoo.
It was a hot one today, at least for the bay area, with temps in the upper 80s. I hope these ladies remembered to stay hydrated. Most other animals had already sought shade shelter.
Little Farm
I ended the day just over 25 miles and ~2700' of climbinf.

No pictures but misjudged the weather and ended up riding 30km in thunderstorms this morning. Good thing about rain is once you’re wet, you can’t get much wetter.

Just a little cruising through cul-de-sac land with Ugly Betty today. Going in and out of all the little nodules can really add up some miles.

Nice weather today, so mrs non-fixie and decided to go out for a leisurely ride. A mix of woodlands and urban scenery.
I remember these machines from my youth, but the TikTok reference and the price were new to me:
Lunch: pork satay with fries and mayo.
After lunch we ran into a local crit race.
Lucky shot, given the speed at which these guys passed.

Boring ride today, crashed a week ago and had to lay low a bit. Got out the battle wagon with new fenders and new B17 to break in. Nice to not have filth flying off the tires for a change
Finally a sun break. Its been really wet

I was in Colorado for the weekend and took a ride up the Crystal River to McClure Pass. Non-CV gravel bike but I was thinking of my CV bikes when I was riding.

Hah, no pole dancing for me. The last 2-3 miles are pretty steep and I was pretty sapped by the summit. I don’t ride that bike much and didn’t realize that I still had one more lower gear left til I topped out - 
doh.
I thought the sign was unusually high too. Looks like it used to be much lower from this google image. The highway department must have wanted to provide sticker slappers a bit more of a challenge.

A beautiful and dark 55 degrees in Portland. Did the usual ride, but a maiden voyage on the overhauled Bruce Gordon.
Boy, that's an ugly seat. I rode by this broadcast tower bunker a couple of days ago, and noticed the new paint. Perfect backdrop for a purple and yellow bike! The sun even came out for a sec.
