Harrison Ford indeed...and I look like Arnold (though I could out lift him) Picture is from my final meet (50yo) in the last century. As promised the morning was cold and it will be colder tomorrow. I think I'll skip a ride and go see 'One Battle After Another' adapted from a Pynchon...

It was 65f on my morning ride I add smugly...then look at the weather and realize I will be below freezing Friday morning. If I choose to bundle up like Stefan ICE will detain me.

Proof the moon landing was faked

I jumpstarted riding this morning with the Mexicans out front digging in the last bit of fiber-optic for my new super duper Internet. Yahoo...bet they don't have this contraption in GB or Europe. A day off made a difference in my bad leg...still I have to push when the weather is reasonable. The...

“The Golden Ballroom” as brought to you by an alphabet of Fortune 500 overlords. I would hope someone in 2028 runs on knocking that monstrosity down while simultaneously throwing America a party across Pennsylvania Ave. in Lafayette Park. @Rás Cnoic as some here noted a month back in my ‘find...

Perhaps clarification is unnecessary but...I had met a few parishioners (a deacon) over the years during quick stops...but times had changed, and not for the better in America when I had my encounter with the militant young woman. As I recall my shooing away happened soon after the infamous...

But you will be around to try in 2026

I just ordered a 625w from 508…$875 free shipping

I was referencing a recent post where I mentioned getting asked to leave a church. Actually I had stopped at that one for 30 years on my rides…sitting at a picnic table for a rest, sometimes going inside for water Until one Sunday an angry young woman sitting, unbeknownst to me, in a darkened...

Cold in Dixie this morning...shivered the first five miles of a long ride. I went further up Dunns Chapel road today as you might note from the photo. I believe I'm welcome in this church. At the mouth of my road I stopped when I saw a broad-winged hawk sitting on the side of the road. I was...

Just as I’m no mechanic I’m no gourmand…in fact to an elderly Greek couple I know…neurotically bland in my tastes…and they’re right. They live on a 200 acre farm no longer farming most of it because of their age (he’s 90). Through the years they’ve operated 3 Restaurants in Richmond. This farm...

Mine’s functioning well…but the range has dropped quite a bit. Is online ordering feasible? I’ll check REI

I’ve got similar mileage on my allant 9s…once I got the initial bugs (hub, kickstand..TY Alaskan) its been worry free…we have different components though same line. with the upgraded hubs I built (had built) new wheels…swiss along with Schwabe’s Mondials which have 9600 miles on them. The...

I use Schwab AirPlus tubes…a bit thicker Than standard. On my new Allant9.9s after a 1000 miles I replaced the wheels with new hubs, Swiss DT rims, and Schwabe Mondials…a higher grade. The carbon Allant was a new model and the hubs were problematic. @Alaskan advised the (expensive) hubs as...

Imagine drowning in Death Valley

Despite Strava's mileage reportage I had a cool (as in cold) 19 mile ride today. I went up Dunn's Chapel road then turned towards the quarry. Note the road sign and how Pouncey Track turns into Vontay before returning to Pouncey Track. That aberration came about from a store along the road with...

The real problem with Red Bull and their ilk is not the occasional mishap to young invincible warriors...but to old f**** like me whose hearts won't tolerate the nasty stuff

Pentland Hills, ancient town, geology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentland_Hills

Dodgeman's dodgy weather came through last night leaving me with layers this morning. There was a stiff wind to boot in which I pretended I was in Scotland. I did wear thick Alpaca socks which I celebrated with the picture.
