Getting ready here to "JRA." Small group heading out this morning on a 60+ mile adventure and exploring ride. If I do this right, my first century might happen. Taking the endurance road bike for this one. Those 25's are gonna ride like a Cadillac!!

JRA!
I prefer 25's over 23's in most circumstances these days myself. The new wide rim craze also makes a diff; my primary road bike has 23 tires on 23mm wide rims (Hed Belgium) and they are niiiiiiiice. I run them at like ~95 PSI, and I'm 155-160lbs.

Got doored. I guess it was bound to happen, commuting daily in SF for over 8 years now. Dude was suuuuper apologetic and nice about it and a cyclist himself so that made it suck a lot worse, because I felt bad yelling at him. My entire right side is slashed and bruised but nothing broken, pretty sure, even though I went down real hard. Ugh.

Coming down California, between Kearny and Montgomery. That block is always a bit of a cluster**** and I was being careful, almost dodged it but caught it on my elbow and lost control then went down on the trolley tracks. Bike is fine, bars were tweaked sideways a bit from the hard fall, but an easy adjustment. Oh, and my pannier got pretty scuffed up, but it's still 100% functional and I don't mind the patina.

About to go hike Bear Mtn with a co-worker. Been hiking more this summer than I've been riding on the street, not too mad about it.

I love hiking in remote and wooded areas, except when I have 30 something pounds on my back and I am 3-4 hours into a climb.....Like Saturday.....

Jeez!! Glad that you're ok good sir! That whole area is such a cluster**** for biking

...I didn't hit anything, and nothing hit me, on my morning commute. However, drivers did seem to have less understanding than usual of the "3 Foot Rule."
