I'm quite certain that means NEW BIKE DAY!
I echo Danimal's sentiment wholeheartedly

Hot and windy solo ride today. Legs felt pretty good despite not sleeping much last night. I've mostly avoided cycling social media today. Looking forward to checking out the highlights from stage 1.

Looking forward to checking out the highlights from stage 1. it was windy here today too. my bike is killing on the trails, going to need to find something harder. the bike seems to just want to fly. it feels a little like a kid at xmas, only i appreciate it way more. |

Ugghh they yanked the international feed for TdF. I have to listen to the American commentators and sit through commercials? I can't do this for three weeks.

My gravel bike has been a hot mess, did a big ride and got caught in a down pour on a sandy road, was rode hard and put away wet.
Today I got her cleaned up. I was thinking the chain would need to be replaced but I think it was salvageable. Rear cassette was a mess too. Might take her out tomorrow and assess where we are at. Thinking I need new brake pads either way.
Need to get into epic ride mode, with some respect that bike will go anywhere.

I got out for another 30 miles this morning. Legs felt kinda dead but I made it through. The humidity was oppressive and I forgot how much climbing is on the route I took. I wanted to get another hour in but I was cooked.

I'll be 50 next spring and I still ride like a kid. I guess I've slowed down a little. I don't hit lots of jumps that I would have just a few years ago. But still hit the small ones. I love riding the pump track. Super fun full body workout. The few minor crashes I've had remind me to be more careful than I ever used to be. I figure that I better keep it up. Not riding makes me feel older than I do when I can get out a few times a week.

My bike is ready(mostly I think), I washed the van and I have a bunch of camping gear piled up by the door. I think I'm going to drop down to the 50 mile route because that's what all my friends are doing. Hoping to hit the road around 1030 so I can go on the 3pm shake out ride.
