I’m working nights through the weekend starting tomorrow but I’m finishing the build on a very special bike that I hope to get out for a short ride after I wake up Saturday. Stay tuned!

Plan to ride this at some point this weekend. Just built it up yesterday and have yet to get out for a real ride on it, but looking forward to it!

This is particularly entertaining to me since I was thinking about FMB tubulars today while riding and thinking about how I need to go on YouTube and watch some hardcore pave action.

Today was kind of my crown jewel for the weekend. 116 miles and I still get a kick out of crossing a highway in the middle of a climb.

It was too hot around here yesterday. I didn't go even if I had everything ready. Today is slightly cooler so I went for it.

Slept in and missed our annual “44 on the fourth” ride. I went later and got 36 in at least.

Happy fourth everyone!

I got out for 50 miles today. Rode out to Otsego lake and it was beautiful out.

Took the CSi out for my usual loop up into Harriman Park. I've been working on my knees all week finishing the master bathroom shower, and I could feel it!!!!

Lovely day--hot but cool-ish breeze. (I did get a sunburned neck, since I got my Ronald McDonald Covid hair chopped on Friday, and forgot to put sunscreen on the newly exposed areas.)

The total score though--I started getting passed by a bunch of motorists heading up into the park since I worked this morning--and was kicking myself--except when I got halfway up the hill into the park, the road was closed to cars!

They weren't letting anyone else go up to Lake Welch, and since everyone was already at the lake, I got to ride on nearly empty roads--just like my typical early morning rides!

Happy 4th all!

100k on the 4th. Lovely morning for a ride. Home in plenty of time to fire up the BBQ!

Working night shifts so after waking up I took the Stars and Stripes Paletti out for short shakedown cruise and visit to TJ.

Between coming off illness and the heat/humidity, I decided to go out after dark. It was a short ride, but some good mixed surfaces and I could see multiple fire works shows in the distance.

Forgive the long handheld exposure. It was dark.
