#GoodMorning! I’ve been hopeful about going #cycling next week, but yesterday has made me doubt it…
My broken rib has become become uncomfortable again after carrying a mildly heavy backpack and an 8kg kid…
I need an x-ray to check how it’s healing…
Today’s bike ride
One more week for Summer Streets in NYC

When I started cycling today the weather was warm - up to 37 C in the vineyards. The grass snake (Natrix natrix) I spotted by the side of the road likely enjoyed the hot weather more than I, but it's a wonder that it was still well and alive. I convinced it that it's better to get back into the grass.

@MatthewNewell @ascentale @paul_edwin @bikenite Thank you! I will give that a try. I may not wait until Christmas
Do you have suggestions for how much of the spices, ginger, zest, vanilla etc. to add?
Question for #cycling folks. What's the deal with Presta type tire valves?
I bought one by accident and decided to just go ahead and use it. Works fine but seems very fiddly and harder to use than the more common variants. Is there some advantage that I've missed?
In total we cycled 1555km over 19 full days of cycling, with 19200 meters of uphill.
Spent 17 nights in camping places, 3 in hotels and unfortunately just one wildcamping.
The weather was just what we expected with the exception of the first week, where the heatwave pushed us a bit to our limits.
The highlights of the trip were the Atlantic coast in the Basque country, some sections of the V81 cycling route, Montpellier and Provence.
Pogachar: "I was just following Pavel, looking at his ass..." About the ride down from Tourmalet.
Reporter: "Was it a nice ass to follow?"
Pogachar: "Yes, Pavel has kind of a woman's ass, very nice."

That's the bike I ride when I'm in my home town, leaning against a wall at the part of the oldest cemetery, where some 19th century headstones were preserved.
That bike is quite special: GDR made tires, a road bike chain wheel and crank set, 2-speed hub. I made it when I was a teenager, about twice as many decades ago than I can hope to see.
Spring is now almost 3 months away. When I pass by the spots where I saw the most interesting tender wildflowers now, I mostly see hardy plants: wild carrots and common chicory prevail.

One of my huge reasons for cycling is homemade flapjacks. I love the boring oats/sugar/butter variety but I also make hoopy variations.
Christmas Cake - with mixed dried fruit, citrus peel, and spices - amazing
Tahini and Balsamic Vinegar - good but sticky
Olive and Sun-dried tomato - great
Anchovy and Garlic - this was horrible
Dark Chocolate, agave, coconut and chilli - very good but doesn't hold together very well
Day four of #bikepacking today's ride is approximately 75km I'm hoping to partly beat the heat today by starting a little bit earlier than before.
