Lawdy. Some guy on the local FB cycling group is complaining about someone (a "boomer" wannabe racer, according to him) passing him on the MUP as a sprawling group of oncoming cyclists approached, making for a close call. Further inquiries reveal that the OP was motoring along at 23 mph, according to him, that he didn't signal the oncoming hazard and didn't slow his pace, despite the oncoming riders crossing in to his lane, until he was forced to slam on his brakes so that the passer wouldn't get into a collision. As if *he* weren't just as guilty of MUP racing as the other guy. Goodness.

Road a rode bike today for the first time in a long time. 32 miles - half paved/half canal gravel.
25mm deep aluminum rims and a freshly oiled chain. No one could hear me at all.
23mm tyres are ideal for canal gravel around here, it's so smooth, straight, and flat.
Phoenix is pretty much like Venice, canals everywhere.

Lunch at Laguna Rajacolta, 4,270m
On top of our highest pass, 5,000 and a bit meters.
On the final pass.
Some photos without any cycling content from my recent holiday. It only took three days to sort through the approx 1,600 photos I took.

Throw the stick!!!!
Way too early to be at work. I'm not supposed to be here for another hour. Not being able to sleep sucks. Sucks even more when the cpap machine keeps me awake. On the plus side, I stopped at Donut Connection and got me a cookie on the way to work. Screw this diet!!!
Oh, for my first month back on the bike I got 515 miles. I don't think that's a bad start.
