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!
