Today's Ride

[reindeer]

First (longer) ride in 2023 and happy new year @all Since I started riding with gps (most of the times taking the commuter train to station w, riding to station y and back by train again) I am trying to find a new route every weekend I go for a ride but today I realized halfway that I was here before I couldn’t find a matching track in my folder but thanks to this thread I now know it must have been in May two years ago

Today’s ride was so annoying that I didn't have a break to take any pics, but lots of riding in the past weeks

Today's ride was the most extreme ever.

AND THERE WILL BE MORE TODAY!

I don't want to go for a ride this weekend, but I've cleaned my mudguards yesterday

Our 2nd Daughter was born on 30th December, so prospect's of riding are looking slim this year, other than commuting where possible.

That said I've devised a plan; that when we head out somewhere, perhaps I could ride and meet the rest of the family there. Riding is, after all, vital for my wellbeing. The fresh air and exercise is a great tonic for stresses that come with 2 small kids.

Today we visited my mother-in-law, so the inaugural ride took place.

Very windy with rain showers and sunshine, but as predicted I feel a whole lot better for the exertion.

Took advantage of the early (well, relatively early) morning cool to nip up my fave hill and bomb down again before work. The Salsa had received a new seatpost and bars so wanted to ensure everything was working OK. And as fitness had suffered quite a bit during the Aus winter and soggy spring, needed to see if legs and lungs were working OK too. Felt great to be out and working up a bit of a sweat.

I think i squeezed everything out of this day what it had to offer. It was muddy, slippery, drifting on leaves, killer fun. A mix of everything, offtrail included..

Lovely crisp morning, nice and peaceful for the first half hour till the local dog walking group got going.

Another lunchtime short, sharp ride, this time to road-test a frame I've been building up: a Soma Groove, which is definitely post-1998! From what I can work out it's probably 2005 or '06. It's really nice -- double-butted Tange Prestige with both V-brake studs and disc mounts. I've built it up with eBay parts, pretty much as they came up and if they fitted: Fox fork, Crossmax wheels, Avid BB7 brakes, Race Face cranks/rings, and mix-and-match Shimano 10-speed at the back.

All seemed fine -- it's a hot day here, so no climbing records were broken, but was pleased that the build held up and nothing fell off!
