Ashmont branch came back online today after a month of work. And the train frequency was such a nice surprise. Probably just a one time thing LOL. But regardless...

Weather today is just absolute amazing so I stopped working at 4pm and went out for a ride! 27 miles with weighted average power at 179 watts - not too bad considering I was beating myself up on the trainer last weekend!

And love my new Heavy Pedal kit!

Desperately needed this huge dose of dopamine!

Folks, something to remember about me:

The biggest ego boost is asking me if I am riding an electric bike or I'm just really strong, while you're on an electric bike riding along.

I think it's the sourdough toast I had in the morning.

Had a tour on the bike around the city after work today. What a beautiful day and I love my city (when weather is nice) 🤣

Esplanade, Boylston St, Leather District

That made me think - Bay Village is the smallest neighborhood in Boston but it feels like Leather District is even smaller!

Two women enter a high end hotel in #Boston, male security guard enters women's washroom, bangs on stall door yelling about proof of gender as woman is using the toilet, guard kicks both women out as other women yell and scream at them for being male creeps who are pretending to be women.

Both are cis female

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained.

What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is how her detention was caught on camera.

What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

Another day climbing up Blue Hills (actually yesterday)! It's the only hill that is reasonably steep and long enough to get some workout in. The Strava segment is 0.83 miles with 416ft elevation gain, average 9.4% grade. Only ~8 mins of suffering.

New wheelset, new waxed chain, new bar tape, new brake pads, new tires (30mm now vs 28mm)

It feels awesome and looks awesome. The Enve inner drive free hub is loud, and I swapped the 60 teeth ratchet to 90 teeth, which makes higher pitch noise. I still need to get used to it, but good thing is that runners and pedestrians can hear me approaching 🤪 if they're not wearing headphones...

Quick 10 miles spin along Neponset River.
