My first century (imperial) in 2024
My body hurts everywhere 😅

I don’t get the appeal of disc brakes. Fiddly and a bunch of tiny model-specific parts and if you hit something with the disc and bang it out of true you’re out of luck.

Labor Day weekend day 1 - Saturday shark teeth ride
Mandatory coffee / snacks stop at Bolton Bean and Harvard General Store
Fitting bike lanes onto narrow commercial main streets that have lots of competition for the space can be tricky … but downtown #Waterloo has done it pretty well.

I just ordered some Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires
My old bike tires come with the bike and have 3000+ miles on it. I started getting flats since early September. Every other ride. Fortunately I got the flat at the end of the ride last time and I didn’t even notice before I got home 😝
I’m excited to try GP5000! I’ve been told they’re good!
Quick spin on the new tires
Someone was playing saxophone by Neponset trail. Was he the target of a recent 311 complaint about someone playing saxophone (near Adams & King playground in Dorchester)? 😅
E-bikes are a more important development than AI and solve more problems, but they don’t get nearly as much press and investment. This is because Microsoft doesn’t think adding e-bikes to Windows 11 will shield their stock price from market volatility.
Cafe ride from Upton MA to Slaterville RI… it was delicious avocado toast! Perfect weather today. I probably overdressed a bit, but I took off the cap and gloves on the way back, and the breeze felt so good.
Westbound Santa Clara St from Jose Figueres to King Sat, 11/16/2024 at 9:27am continued harassment from Mazda 6 with plate 7ZWW264

🚴🚴🏼♀️ Ready to hop on a sustainable change?
The EU rolled out 9.7 million bikes in 2023!
The top bicycle producers were:
🇵🇹 1.8 million
🇷🇴 1.5 million
🇮🇹 1.2 million
Cycling is about creating a healthier, more sustainable future.
With our European Declaration on Cycling, signed this year, we recognise this calling for safe cycling networks, better links with public transport, and secure parking.
Let's pedal towards it!
My heart rate went up to 190 last night during a training session 🔥🔥🔥
I blame the big cup of chocolate and peppermint marshmallow I just had before the training 😤😤😤
One hour ago: ready for some training ride!
Now: this training session tried to kill me!
Even in the virtual world, riders stay together to combat the resistance. Small groups form just after a few miles, and will change through the course when there’re climbs. Everyone in the group has significantly reduced air resistance (up to 35% in Zwift) and there is a sense of camaraderie among the riders.
#introduction update for my second Mastodon anniversary!
I'm a #nonbinary #transmasc #lgbtqia person in my late 30s, I live in #Finland and pretty much toot in English.
I've been with my partner for over 16 years, we run a #pinball arcade together as a hobby. We have two elderly #cats who also get shared on here on the occasion.
I play a lot of #VideoGames, especially #RPGs and post about my progress, usually with pictures or videos.
I enjoy #travel, I've been to 13 different countries so far. I also enjoy meeting people from all around the world.
I do a lot of #crafts especially when the weather is bad. I #knit, #crochet and #CrossStitch
I'm a #chef by profession, I love good #food and great #coffee. I've been working at a student cafe on a uni campus for almost 7 years.
I like #cycling and try to keep some sort of decent condition with it. We have pretty good cycling routes in my home town. Photo evidence is shared on the occasion.
If you read this far, and share interests, give me a follow 😁
Getting my bike ready for tomorrow's outdoor ride - temperature is gonna be 50s which is absolutely amazing for New England. And I'm excited to finally ride outside!
And there're so many things to charge before a bike ride now - my bike computer, batteries for front / rear derailleurs, tail light and radar, heart rate monitor...

Back at it... Damn I can feel the lack of training for almost two weeks... Apparently dancing till 3am doesn't count as training 😅
Also waiting for cluster headache to creep up to my head so I can use the sumatriptan nasal spray to kill it LOL it happened right after the ride last time.
New kit from The Heavy Pedal!
The jersey is the special one for LA fire. It looks awesome! The bib is a tiny little tight, but I'll be more aero I'm sure ;)
Every time I lock my bike to a wall loop I fear a topologist will appear and prove my bike is not attached to the loop, or in fact, not even locked
Col de la Madone! One climb on my list checked!
Nice area is seriously a cycling heaven. The weather was perfect today. The 1500 ft climb from Nice through Eze is a little appetizer for the Madone, but the view was breathtaking. Menton is a bustling seaside town with beach goers. From there, just a few blocks, I was on an 8+ mile journey of climbing 3000 feet from sea level. It is the biggest climb I've done. There were a few cyclists trying to talk with me but I couldn't understand what they were saying LOL.
After a speedy descent from the Madone to Peille, I had lunch at Le p'tit gourmet. Peille is a really quiet town on the mountain. The daube was delicious and very satisfying. From there it was almost all the way down to Nice. That was probably the easiest 20 miles I've ever done.
I'm sure I'll come back!

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!
