It’s the same here though in greener (and less green$) circumstances. I’ll be pedaling uphill on a lane and a half of chip seal and some gun past me into a curve. But the worst are the Sunday morning biddies late for church…they’re worse than the beered up Friday afternoon tradesmen who at least...

^ That ice cream!!!!

The road is my dead end one just as I was setting out for my version of a long ride (21m). As soon as I put my phone away a doe and fawn walked across. Here are a neighbor's cattle. When mine got out this is where they ran. My place is through the break in the distant tree line though by bike...

The weather looking good I went towards the river in search of tomatoes and baked goods. The farmer's market must have shut for the holiday (the 4th) but the vegetable stand five miles further was open. The man in yellow passed me earlier in a Peloton. An Alvis farm truck blew close by us...

I get a vibe from Clockwork Orange The weather today was decidedly better than yesterday's...temp mid-80s again...but humidity way down. I rode 7 miles further (18m) at a significantly lower HR average...and this includes a stint with a big diesel pickup shadowing me. Just a few more rides...

Don't let my crisp appearance fool you...high 80s high humidity. decent 11 mile circuit...

I just ordered a pair of Keen’s myself…but from their website…more July 4th sales Instagram/Facebook/Meta…Zuckerborg (sic) and pals with their doom hotels buried on tropical islands…they’ve paid the Don chump change for no regulation.

It did seem unbelievable though I’ve seen some big sales on accessories in REI. I know the market is soft and the US‘s economic situation has begun its slow turn to steep slide so… On another front it seems NATO has been utilizing eBikes on maneuver in Poland. Stefan…explain yourself...

I noticed it on my Instagram feed

I saw a notice of a Specialized warehouse sale…IDK how the prices can be real…Vado 4 $900 as well as many others similarly priced. I don’t need a new bike but should I send this to friends who have admired mine? Prices seem to be too low. I might get a helmet https://www.specializedstore-us.com/

That’s a wonderful community you are a part of

Above a mile from home near the end of my ride. Rain until 10am when I launched knowing more was coming though not the tornado warnings that were issued later. Missed me ty...but the deer are coming close. My road dead-ends into a farm road, and coming home I often go to the end to pad my milage...

I had one of my better 2025 rides this morning...low assist (for me) 16miles...knee treated me fairly...HR stayed within bounds. Noteworthy was the wildlife...a hundred meters from home right in front off me a red fox dashed from one side of the road, tail parallel in all out sprint followed...

the problem with metric comes when people ask what your best lifts are...when I say 140 and 165 they are not impressed

In reading this thread, particularly as regards to motivation, I think back to a book…Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance…R Pirsig (circa 1980) where the cycle you are working is yourself.
