The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
75.60 km on the bike today not including what was probably about a km rip home after eating at the end.
That's a pretty good ride. I max out at about 90km and can still call my bike my friend. What did it take you, 3-1/2 hrs?
haha more like 6 but I never stop the watch except for a fire/lunch in the middle this time. We had two flat tires and me running back into my house to grab shit and blah blah blah. Average moving speed was 19.7km per hour.

That's a respectable average speed. As long as you're having fun, any time is a good time.

I rode my bike once all year last year, so I'm just happy to be putting up 70 km rides already. I have no idea what other people do. To me these are really more adventures than anything else. I'm gonna start packing my fishing gear. Also I am riding with firewood on my rack among other things which I guess slows you down a little. What are your rides like?

Holy shit, all that and firewood? You should check out a Yak instead of a panniers. Or in addition to, depending.
there's some guy in brooklyn that bikes to the east river pulling a boat that unfolds that he uses to paddle across to manhattan every day for work and back. it's pretty crazy.

Mostly my work commute, 23km a day. Everyday, regardless of weather. But not adverse to getting out for three or four hours on a weekend morning, either on the roads or in the woods.

Bought a used one of those this weekend. I am going to have to overhaul the hub on the wheel and probably regrease the pivot just to make sure it's working well but otherwise it's in pretty good shape. Doesn't have a mud guard but that's easy enough to fix.

Man I really need to get back on my bike. I've been taking it easy because of the clot in my leg but I suppose it's small enough now it won't kill me outright if I dislodge it while riding...right?

rest is rarely ever an answer. most injuries are best remediated with more training. go get it.
im no doctor but getting oxygen to my blood through cardio and stressing the system to tax a bloodclot and break it up sounds like a great solution to me.

I was about to ride some of the trails around my new house when I discovered a weird problem with my shifters that I couldn't solve. Took it to the shop and it turned out to be seized bolt, and since this derailleur is obsolete, it took a little while to source a new one. Now it's ready to go and I can't wait to explore some new areas on the map.

Little things like that are so annoying. I needed to replace the front derailleur on a bike and so I bought one used. Turns out I didn't research this at all because the derailleur was too tall and didn't work unless I took the bottle cage off, and even then the proper height was right on one of the screws. Apparently there are low profile derailleurs?
So this is a long way of saying that I somehow lost the chain that goes onto that bike and we won't be taking it with us when we go camping this weekend.
