Had a bee get caught in my glasses last night - cut myself trying to get it out without throwing my prescription sunnies on the pavement or swerving into traffic at 20+ mph when it happened.

Started like this:



And now I'm Quasimodo:



Thinking about getting some Sagan goggles, and carrying benadryl cream in my kit. I don't go anaphylactic, but my reaction is a bit more than normal.

Bee safe out there friends!

From last night's Tuesday Night Gravel ride with the Cannon Valley Velo Club out of Northfield, MN. Our rides are typically 2-2.5 hours long at anywhere from a 16 to 19.5 mph pace depending on the hills. It's always a fun time and a great workout.

Pic looked familiar. Nice area. I used to have a great 45 mile loop around Dennison that I used for Almanzo training back in 12' on for a couple years. Nice riding down there. Long roads and punchy climbs if you look for them.

Yes, lots of nice climbs on the roads around there with so little traffic. It's such a nice change of pace from highway biking.

Love looking at those cloudy pics, spent 60 years living in the Saratoga area(we were considered mid state, Lake Placid is the southern most area of upstate NY)!
The 182 cloudy days a year make me appreciate even more living in Northern Colorado!
The talk of ididaride on another thread has me missing it a little bit, I rode 10 of the last 13 rides. Will also miss riding the Farm to Fork Fonda series!

Hot early morning first ride on my Canyon Lux after riding a (seemingly) completely obsolete 5 year old 2x10, non-boost titanium hardtail!

Just back from a few days in Montreal, for our third trip. Arrive, park the car, pull out the bikes, car stays put until we leave. Truly a great city for traveling by bike. My wife was on her Salsa Casseroll with 32s, I rode the Litespeed with the Conti 2.2s, super bike for the city streets (most of which are torn up at any given time - Montreal is the City of Detours!).
Thursday was warm but low RH and we rode the Lachine Canal, then along the north side of the St. Lawrence, stopped at the Parc des Rapides to walk around, then across the St. Lawrence on the Escatade, a mile-long bike bridge that starts from Ile des Soeurs and gets you to a long skinny spit in the river that goes for over a mile and ends up on Ile Notre-Dame. There, you can ride on the Grand Prix course, and then cross over to Ile Sainte-Helene, where Expo 67 was and the US pavilion, without its original skin, is now the biosphere. We'd expected to return over the Jacques Cartier bridge but the bikeway was closed for 4 days, so we did a bit of back-tracking and crossed over on the Concorde bridge. Total of 39 miles.

Photos below show the route; the sculpture park at the end of the Lachine canal; a shot of the bike path along the canal, nicely separated from the pedestrian path; the bike bridge; and a shot where you can see the traffic signal for the bikes on the same pole as the signals for cars.

The city is full of cyclists of all stripes, and many real vintage bikes in daily use like the Peugeot UO-8 I had in high school - cottered steel cranks and Simplex derailleurs.

Great food, lots happening outdoors for free (Nuits d'Afrique music festival was a highlight), and a very safe-feeling place to get around by bike.

Very! I jumped into the gravel scene with both feet this past spring. I felt certain that I'd like it but didn't realize I'd like it as much as I do; so much so that my road bike is seeing very little of me these days.
