Addiction 2022.1

Notices
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

Here is my current ride plan for 2022 plus a few cycling trips. Should be a fun year.

Kudos. I am considering the Thunder Ridge ride, but it's tough to get away.

It is a great ride, I did it last year. It did hurt though.

Afterwards, yes. During, not so much.

Hey LA people, it's only a little more than a week away from my trip. A cycling friend of mine from the Bay area said he will come for a couple days and ride with me.

He suggested this route. I am no expert, but it looks like it does not do the full Mt Baldy, which should go up to the ski resort. Is the road beyond this route passable this time of year? Comments on route? Looks like it's an indirect climb, would the reverse route be better?

I'll be on vacation with some friends at Snowshoe, WV riding bikes and drinking beer on that date.

As for the "why so much", because I'm a freaking idiot.

Nor do you know how regular (former) Americans view America right now

I'd be happy to do one century ride this year.

Nice! I'll be doing my first one on 3/4 and possibly my second on 3/6, just depends on how things work out. I would like to do twenty this year but not sure if that will happen. I did fifteen last year which is way more than I have ever done in years past. Probably about as many as I had done total in all my previous years combined.

The best organized ride I've ever been involved with (ridden). I've done it twice, the 45 mile option each time

The longest ride I did last year was a metric. Sad.
