2023 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

Almost twenty miles this morning in heat and humidity. i don't fare so well anymore in these conditions and use Turbo more than I like when the HR climbs past 150. Even so enjoyed the ride...met a young woman on the road (probably 4 years younger than me) riding a beautiful Cannondale...she was unnelectrified however encouraged me to ride with her group with about 50% bikes.

, the rest of the bike gets the full hit.
The easiest way to kill any bearings on your e-bike :) The high pressure spray will wash any lube from the bearings.
This washing the bike malarkey is not a regular occurance for me🥸
I could not stand my e-bikes being so dirty after the Mazovian Gravel. For instance, the rims were yellow from a kind of dried yellow mud! The bottom tubes were covered with a thick layer of dry mud!
 
Love Encinitas and stopping by Juanitas for a taco!
Finally got around to trying Juanita's. Excellent — and a safe and easy 4.3 mi ride down the Coast Highway! Korina's Karina's is also top-notch, and only 3.7 mi on the same route.

Maintaining burrito supply by ebike — doesn't get much better than that!

Looks like the fastest way to rack up positive reactions around here doesn't even involve ebikes or ride photos. All you have to do is mention burritos.

As it should be. If they started giving posthumous Nobels and added a food prize, the inventor of the burrito should get the first one.

Of course, the first posthumous peace prize would go to the inventor of "Yes, dear."

Caught a couple of photos today on my am ride before it hit triple digits. The Bighorn are giving the greenskeepers the day off today at O Donnell and a new look at Marilyn from behind...

I have never eaten a burrito in my life, I wouldnt even know where to get one.
Without looking, I guess they are Mexican?
I certainly hope you can find a Mexican restaurant somewhere in your country and try a burrito, a crispy taco, and some refried beans. Yum! My wife and I eat Mexican style food at least twice per month (she makes excellent burritos right here at home when she's feeling ambitious).
 
Oh no, you can't judge burritos by the BLOs (burrito-like objects) you get at Taco Bell.
Well, we do not have many Mexicans in Europe :)
On the other hand, I started hating Mexican cuisine after my visit to a Mexican restaurant near Houston TX :) It happens when you haven't grown up with a given cuisine :) Don't think the Chinese food as served in the U.S. is the same what you would get in the mainland China. I would not try to offer many Polish types of food to you in Poland. What you get as the "Polish cuisine" in the U.S. is not what we eat :)

Besides, I perceive most of American food as inedible :D

When we visited our former landlord's family in Greece several years ago, their daughter, Dina, couldn't wait to take us to the newly opened Mexican restaurant. We got to our table, and they brought out the chips and salsa, followed by our meals. Dina's husband, Michalis was very upset, and kept asking "where's the bread?" (Greeks eat lots of bread!). Dina tried to explain to him that the chips WERE the bread, but he wasn't having it. He said they were never going back there! The restaurant went out of business a year or so later - I don't think Michalis was the only one who couldn't wrap his head around chips as a substitute for bread ...
