"Official" BIYF 2016-2017 thread

1/17 - Moving time -- 1:04

Pretty nice out actually with the fog and light rain. Up and over Hilltop with a dab into Joe D's Bocce World and back. Would be nice to get a longer ride in but I'm already ahead of most of my winters so....BIYF!

I use the Strava app on an iPhone 5 (don't laugh kids).... It turned off when I snapped a pic and a call came in simultaneously 😵 Put it back in my pocket and rode on, tried it 5 minutes later and with much success it powered up with 20%

Extra time is short, so computer time loses out to ride time cause BIYF.
I wish I had the time to drive to a biking destination after reading all of your writeups-- youze are putting up some big rides.

Reinvented the group trail ride due to conditions and roaded it back to the spot. New to me seatpost from Kirt allows mo betta seat height. No pix.

Just what it says. I waited for a window of minimal precip and zoomgone. Wasn't really feeling it, however, and the numbers show it.

I checked in on Tom @thegock earlier, and he plans to be back on the bike soon. I know he will bring it.

Quite possibly the other way around. I didn't ride Sunday till 9:30Pm. Schedule's been crazy but hopefully we can work in some rides.
 
Are those trails near Busch or Livingston campus? I remember many moons ago when I was a studious young fella riding my bike thru there that there were some wierd man-shenanigans going on in those woods....Not that there's any wrong with that.....
 
Livingston. I believe the man-shenanigans are no more, unless you count the weirdos in spandex riding fat bikes around.

1:05:06 - I was supposed to ride with Kev this afternoon but work meetings blocked that. The 11am call ended early at 11:12 due to lack of attendance enough to have a quorum. As soon as I hung up the phone, I got my shit together and hit the road. Freestyled the route with intentions to head WNW and make my way out to Goat Hill. On the way back, I was doing good on time and decided to hit Rock Rd instead of 518 and also hit Woosamonsa Rd before a straight shot back to the office. I made it back in time to change out of my bike gear, grab my lunch and dial in to the call. I was able to get some good quality local climbing in today. Kevin has been busting my balls about being a flatlander so I took that as a hint to begin my winter climbing campaign.

I've been feeling really good the last couple rides and as I was climbing, I had a feeling today was a PR day. Turns out what I'm feeling is validated by strava. Time to turn it down a bit.
