Commute, bike was happier with 80PSI and not 60PSI. My secret to having enough time for rides is stop sleeping, that reclaims a good amount of time. Dark on the way to the office and back home. Photo of a nice 'tree house' along truck 1-9 from yesterday's commute.

Best views of the county slammer are from the outside.

51 miles. Time 3:30

I think i have seen that one....

This is something I found at the tourne too...off the backside of the mountain. Not sure who lives here, but im glad they werent home when i stopped by

Nice! Gonna have to go looking for that one sometime. The one I posted is a few hundred feet off the "new" blue trail. @Berms&Boofs showed it to me when we rode after a TM fixing up that trail. You can see it from the trail if you are paying attention. It's the little out and back squiggle from my ride yesterday.

What a beautiful day to ride. Took a spin on my local rail trail. Perfect temps for short sleeves and shorts on the bike. I felt faster today and the numbers confirmed it. This winter was my first winter semi-consistently still riding when the cold set in. Thanks BIYF!

It was unusual for me to be on the trail at 7AM. It must have rained lightly overnight since things were damp, but far from muddy. There was quite a lot of fog and it didn't think I was going to have any pictures for my faithful followers. Just as I was thinking that the sun was trying to fight through and I got the tree silhouette below, so that's something. I saw 3 deer, 5 ducks, 2 geese, many squirrels and a at least a thousand birds...and not 1 human. Just the way I like it...nothing personal.

Same bar tape I put on niterider (and also has purple cables) - did you steal my color scheme??

me either

On that note:

March 17
Moving time 2 hr 57 min
Commute to and from.
The usual stuff.

Then a ride with The Hubby. I feel like my ride today should be called “I am a poop magnet.” It never fails, who ever I ride with, no matter where we ride. If there is dog poop, I will come home with it smeared on my tires. In fact, today is was even on my brakes! Ugh. Every one who walks a dog and doesn’t pick up its poop, that poop should magically appear on that person’s pillow. Like I wanna bring that crap in my home. No pun intended. To make it even worse, stopped at my friend’s house cause Thursday is donut day…but not today! Much sadness.

Only a couple days left for an epic ride and recap.
@huffster, tour of wayway?

yeah what's the appeal of riding with other people??

You can either feel good about yourself or realize how much you suck.

For me... its on those coffee breaks. Don't have to worry about my bike getting stolen since it's the cheapest one.

@Mumonkan, @rick81721
Two thumbs up. You're my kinda people.

I can do that just fine by myself!

Hey let's plan a group ride

 

[Fat Trout]

For the enjoyment of fellow haters

 

[Mumonkan]

hahahaha i love it

to clarify, (to me) "people" generally refer to normies, i.e. the people who lose their shit when we tell them we rode 5 miles on a bicycle cycle

What kind of bike are you riding down there?

Hey I forgot to give a shout out to @bigW he leapfrogged over me on the weekend. Nice! Don't know if I can get back to/hold on to that 5th spot perhaps bagging work on Thursday might help as I can't ride Saturday. Over dressed today based on being under dressed yesterday but had a good ride snappers!

Hey teabagger I'm going for a hike on Saturday with some pennsy homeboys at Hamburg reservoir. If my son doesn't go along I was thinking of taking my mtb and going for a ride afterwards. Any recos on where to ride around there? I think we are doing some pulpit hike? - part of Appalachian trail.
