Many landlubbers head out to the water this time of year.

@steve mercier any further cramps?

Ouch yeah here they right come now...help call 911!... But seriously the banana did not work. I ate one before and during the ride. I did a few stretches today but not the right ones I guess. Cramps are in the quads today but they can be anywhere down there. Tomorrow I will try more stretching and then if no luck I will go to the Gatorade (prefer coffee) as a last resort. If I find something that works I will let you know.

Fun ride down memory lane as I rode on Axe Factory Road (2 track) in the Yale Forest for the first time since my mountain biking days in the 1990's. On the way home I tried another old favorite Nagy Road in Ashford and found this beautiful piece of old farm equipment. (If you are into old machinery).

Rode with a buddy on his acoustic bike from Port Moody to Belcarra and back yesterday.





About 450m of elevation change there and back...

A 56 mile ride I did last month on the paved Allegheny River Trail near Franklin in northwestern PA. The trail occupies the right of way of the defunct Allegheny division of the Pennsylvania Railroad which hauled oil from the Titusville oilfield.

Beautiful scenery along the Allegheny River.



The Belmar Bridge, part of the Jamestown, Franklin and Clearfield Railroad which hauled coal from the region. The bridge now carries the Sandy Creek rail trail over the Allegheny.



I'm a big fan of tunnel riding and this trail didn't disappoint.

The 3300' Kennerdell Tunnel



And the 2868' Rockland Tunnel

was a rail tunnel in the past?

Yes, these are all old railroad tunnels reconditioned for trail use. Some are in better condition than others.

Quite fascinating

[That looks like a fantastic ride !

Just back from a vigorous 48 miles loop around the county with sunny weather in the mid eighties, gentle breezes and good camaraderie with a bunch of roady bike buddies. The average speed was 17.7 with my average output in watts being 108 and a cadence of 75. I took the lead for over half the ride giving my friends the benefit of Mr. Bosch's technology. We did stopto refuel mid ride for some fresh lamb pasties and a soda. Sorry no photos just caught up in a challenging high energy ride. I spent almost equal time in Eco, Tour and EMPB with a few spurts of Turbo on steeper hills..

Todays ride - 105km: I was shocked to see this jolly fellow riding one of these on this trail which is at the top of a 350 metre climb! He was smoking( a cigarette )while he rode which just seemed wrong .When you think about it one just stands on that kind of machine ,so there is not much of a workout on it. He told me it has a range of about 50 miles/ 80km

I saw many Ebikers today; Voltbikes , Cubes, Ohms and many that I could not readily ID. The GOcycles below are carbon fibre folding Ebikes. Perfect to carry on transit. I want one of those .

I figured out that the helmet liners are for people who use the bikeshare station on the left ( bikes are all out on assignment in the pic ). Who wants to wear somebody elses helmet ? Hence the liners.

Took my e-bike today to go and pick up a print from a photo lab. The lab is 13km away and I can pick up the prints in town but riding 26km is more fun than going just 11km
My route to the lab is to right on the map and after getting my print I continued south to visit a friend at his job. From there I went north agan and the photos are all from a short part ( 3km) near the water. Total distance today 38km.



I passed an area where Alfred Nobel had his production of nitroglycerine and dynamite. The first year ( or maybe years) he produced only nitroglycerine but in 1866 he found a way of getting the nitroglycerine into a solid substance and so the much safer dynamite was invented. The production of nitroglycerine continued as it was needed to produce dynamite. They had a few nasty accidents. The tunnels in pictures below led into ”explosion pits”



Nitroglycerine was first made by an Italian chemist in 1847. I guess I should send signore Ascanio Sobrero a thankful thought as I now can have a little spray can with nitroglycerine in my handlebar bag in case of angina pectoris.

With thunderstorms forecast from tomorrow and right through the weekend I decided to make the most of a dry and very pleasant evening with light winds, just a double local loop of 36 miles and just over 3000ft of climbing made it a very enjoyable evening indeed I am so lucky to have such amazing roads right on my doorstep

Sorry the banana thing bombed out, Steve.. it works pretty well for me. Nothing more fun than jumping out of bed at 2am with your calf muscle inside out.

Ugh... the worst! Haven't had that after a ride yet, but very much so after jumping around on stage at a gig.
Banana at my next gig!
