Michigan actually. Wind was the cold part of the ride. Your ride looked equally as cold.

Today I rode my 50's Schwinn straightbar Red Hornet for the second time since I finsihed building her back up yesterday.

Yesterday, since I figured she was a Schwinn D-bike I named her DARLA and I finally named the 1946 Shelby Traveler Teresa/Tess.

Darla needs the seat post up just a bit more. She's Darla because she's cute and smarter than Alfalfa.

at 5,015 miles for the year as of today.

Nice job, johnny! You're an inspiration to me.

Saturday I went 53 miles on my Steamroller (riser bar, 46x17 gears). That's my longest fixed gear ride.

I really, really like that bike.

Sent a request a while ago, still nothing. :(

Today I had family leave town after a great weekend together. I didn't get to ride at all though so I'm looking forward to some great weather this week to make up the miles. Equal parts happy and sad that I missed yesterday's snowy, mud-fest CX race in the mountains.

My bikes names are naranga, blackie and new black😃

I thought TT had a bike named naranja.

Didn't finish :( I only made it to Crystal Lake and turned around and went back. I had drank 6 bottles of water by that point and I still had a massive headache. Only getting 4 hours of sleep the night before didn't help at all either.

Aw ****. You can always learn from your mistakes and try again. I had a 2 Liter Camel back and 2 bottles with me for that one. I more risked bonking because all I had to eat with a big bag dates, and I was really feeling it about an hour or so before getting to Redbox. Too bad I'm just not in that kind of shape anymore. I would die if I tried that now.

I still do.

What’s a naranga ?

Today I woke up to lightly falling snow and an 80% chance of a wintry mix all day. Another grey day, just like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that. Different shades of grey, but grey. Started taking my Vitamin D last night again to combat the seasonal affective disorder that I suffer from. Why am I not living in Arizona?

Good question. I lived in Ohio most of my life and in the most recent years, the winter grey honestly f***ed me up. I love snow, but not cold, dark and grey, every day.

Moving to North Carolina was a stark difference. It rules. Mid to low 70s all week and sun right now. :love:

same thing,an orange bike😃

So, naranga is a word ? What language ?

I tried to go ride early this morning but the wind hurt my face so I went inside and rode the trainer.

sanskrit origin meaning "orange tree".

put in a big weekend on the bike, ~8 hrs total, starting to get back into shape. Took yesterday off, then headed out this morning for a (mostly) easy hour then to test my legs up a few short (~4-5 min) climbs.

Instead of feeling tired and sore my legs were alive, and ready for an action. Smashed one of them (Presidio) at a power I might aim for during an interval when I was in top form back in July, great sign.

I'm stoked to get up early tomorrow for 3 hrs before work, on the road by 5:30. Let's do this!

Hail Seitan

Fire has always symbolized the Holy Spirit.

The idea of the "Church on fire with the Holy Spirit" is very ancient.
