134 Miles Boston to Provincetown on the bike!
Great fun, despite all three of us getting punctures. My tubeless setup healed itself within 15 mins or so. My friend wasn't so lucky. It was too big for sealant. Thankfully I have the plug.
It was a very hot day to ride this long. Elsa seemed to be not mentally ready for this ride to be so hard. Fact is no matter how strong you are, you start to suffer at some point. To some people it's around 70-80 miles or even 120 miles. To me it's around 100 miles. But a hotdog really helped :)
A lot of cicadas on the cape! Is this year when they come out partying every 17 years?

Today I learnt the new SRAM 13 speed cassette that comes with the latest XPLR (name of their gravel group sets) only works with their latest derailleur, which is only compatible with frames that are UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) compatible......
How can you call that "universal" if it's not universally compatible???? I learnt that after I ordered the new XPLR crankset. 🙄
If you're curious how beautiful Dorchester bay is at 5:30am in the summer......
Too bad you can only see this view from or next to a 6 lane stroad that gets flooded every so often.

NEW EPISODE!
"What Makes a City a Cycling City?"
Why do some cities become places where it’s easy to bike for transportation? We talk to the researchers behind the Cycling Cities project and look at places beyond Northern Europe to find out.

@Pionir asks:
Q6. Can you recommend a coffee mug for touring?
Requirements
1. Must not leak
2. Insulated (for late am café)
3. Budget is £50 / 50€ / $50
4. Buyable from the UK
Nice to have
5. Integrated cafetière (french press) or filter (drip) e.g. self contained single item. If a filter, must not use paper
I'm staying in B&Bs rather than camping; Something with a built in burner is overkill, but a nice to have

Nothing to see here, just a shirtless dude vibing on the bike 🤣
Met him on our ride from Boston to Portland (Maine). He was riding in NH to a lighthouse. We invited him to ride with us to Portland but he said he had no shirt on him. 🤣🤣🤣

Boston Globe even failed to mention the cyclist was on the SIDEWALK when he was murdered by the driver, who drove his Mercedes SUV directly onto the sidewalk. If there were events like MIT commencement, there'd be easily crowds of people on the sidewalk, and the driver would kill many pedestrians.
Is it too much to ask cars to stay on the road?
Edit: capital letters SIDEWALK

Ok. Been quiet for a few days, which means, I went on another EPIC ride!
This time was Mount Greylock, the highest mountain in Massachusetts. In a century+ ride (108 miles), and 12000 ft elevation gain in total.
It was a brutal brutal ride. And I had a really bad day. Got a stomach bug or food poisoning on the day before, and the symptoms persisted on the morning of the ride, with one of the worst nights of sleep I had lately. My buddy encouraged me to try it, since it is a 2.5 hour drive from Boston. So I started. Legs felt like bricks. I set into my own pace so it felt better. But I almost gave up after breathing too hard and going too deep on a 20+% hill. I decided to keep going. And I successfully climbed up Mount Greylock, survived the grueling 10-20%, 3.5 miles long hill at mile 90, and finished the ride without any regrets. Though everything hurts. And I wouldn't put anyone else through this.

New bike day!! Introducing Standert Triebwerk!
It has been over a month in the making, and it turned out fantastic. Maybe even better than I've imagined. I handpicked all the components and parts, and Zach at Back In Action Bikes did a fabulous job building it for me. He hated me for picking a white bar tape because he had to wash his hands 5 times during the build. 🤣
I kinda dig the look of 1x crankset. Looks very clean and neat. This bike has a steel frame, but I slammed all carbon and titanium components on it. So it is only 200 grams heavier than my Pinarello. It rides so smooth. Just cruises along. Not as responsive though. Kinda like driving a CVT vs a PDK.
Boston is really a beautiful city, providing a perfect backdrop for my bike ;)
I'm sure I'll put a lot of miles on it!

Waymo, a Google-owned company, which officially launched its self-driving taxi fleet in London earlier this month, has told cycling campaigners that it is “normal practice” for their taxis to veer into and block cycle lanes

Irgendwie find ich es leicht geil, dass wir den 400 km Brevet ausgerechnet am heißesten Tag des Jahres fahren. 🔥🔥🔥 #ultracycling #cycling
My bike ride just got ominous.
