Lots of fluids pre-, during-, and post-ride. Typically 1L pre and post and as much as I can drink during. If I'm riding hard and in the sun for a lot of the ride i will go through 1.5 bottles an hour, so sometimes I bring a 3rd bottle in the back pocket just to keep hydration. If that isn't the...

Never thought to use it like that. Great call on using it as a rearview mirror.

I don't really leave town unless it's vacation so when I'm in an area I'm not familiar with, i try to find local group rides and hit those. If not I'll hop on garmin heat maps and typically it's not too bad. I have a pretty high risk tolerance for cars. I will take more lights and things on...

I currently don't, but that is purely a fiscal problem for me. I love the idea. That being said, just because I know the car is coming isn't going to prevent them from forcing me to become one with the asphalt.

So as much as I love my long days in the saddle with a good podcast, sometimes you're preparing for a specific event. What's your go-to work out for days when you have to get a ride in, it cant be that long and you need to hit some of those non-zone 2 systems? Does it change throughout the year...

I'm pretty much moving to the MTB for a while, especially with the students moving back into town soon. Hopefully, the weather will allow this.

$2000 is a lot for a slow road bike unfortunately. If I was a college kid in the city this would be perfect so i could easily take it on public transit

I'll keep that in mind.

We do a ride every saturday morning out of the @Bike Surgeon SOIL in carterville every saturday. About 2 hours if you want to join

I should start a business

Did Tour de Donut on Saturday. It was ridiculously hard, by far one of the hardest rides of the year. (This includes nearly 2 hours of easy riding after the race)

I saw a flyer for this the other day. I did a similar ride last year, but don't have time to tackle it this year. My ride was mixed surface so all road should be smoother.

Welcome Wade

I cant get myself to do it unless its a group ride

how's your sewing skills?

I get stressed riding on bike trails. I'm not the fastest guy around but I ride kinda fast and don't want to put others at risk.

Yesterday! Hard to get the motivation to get on the bike. Had to rely on discipline and bargaining with myself to ride to get dinner and ice cream to get it done.

I built one kind of like a handlebar water bottle bag

I felt super bad for Mads after that stage

That's super impressive! I prefer a more relaxing version of bike touring.
