    Today's Ride

    it was nice and shinny, and surprisingly warm (22°C) today, so it would have been too rude not to go riding. I was a bit late at 2:00 pm to start, so the ride was badged by ST as 'fastest time on this route' at 42kms/2:50hrs 🤣 , which also means only one pic was shot.

    Does anyone here build wheels?

    I've been building wheels for ages for myself and also for my friends. If I am not violating any rules of the forum (or anything), I suggest Roger Musson's Practical Guide to Wheel Building. It can be found easily on the internet. A very practical guide with lots of useful details, highly...

    Today's Ride

    so at the start I got headwind. ok, I thought, it'll be okay later. hm...hm... the wind must have read my thoughts, since it was changing direction with me all the way from start to finish. but it was mostly sunny, my new piece of kit (a vest) proved to be good, I got stronger both at the legs...

    Today's Ride

    today's ride can be described as one of those rides that are better than no ride at all. sunny and warm (26°C) at the start, shortly after that I realised that I overdressed. halfway the sun became covered, later the rain started too. also, I felt somehow disoriented for the whole ride. but I...

    Today's Ride

    Crazy. Fortunately neither my wife or the daughters aren't so much out of their depths off road like your partner. They just don't like to 'suffer' in the sand or up the 'hills'. It simple isn't worth for them. Although, the kid has fun on the black stuff (her bike is lighter and accelerates...

    a hunting tower*, like this without the roof (*I assume this is the correct phrase) today's 15km ride in the woods with mrs. Hombre. it was good, but I was assured (again) that she don't really like riding off-road. also, neither of our daughters like if the wheels don't touch asphalt, which...

    Today's Ride

    ok, so after a very long (for me) week finally a ride! the round was the one 'invented' lately, but this time in the opposite direction. this was a good idea, since the singletrack 'entrance' I missed before due to the speed of the downhill section was visible now. I will discover it soon. :)

    wow, very interesting write up! I couldn't help myself, had to google 'the USCAN station which became someone’s garden shed' and also 'the unused bridge across Innes'. :)

    Today's Ride

    commuting by bike must be great! I am very envy, since I've just started a new job which means 2*90min commuting by train per day. I'm in doubt how long will it take before I give up. (previous place changed WFH policy, resulting in 5*2*90min/week commuting by car (!!) instead of the former one...

    I was standing on this stump watching the landscape... ...imagine that the tree used to be here was living its whole life 'watching' this scenery and didn't care for a moment with all the crazy world around. it had to be a great life.
