The weather here has been incredible. Perfect riding temps.
Prairie Dogs are the best! Love it when they bark at me for taking their picture
Beautiful blue skies, but still a lot of haze in the mountains from the fires burning in nearby states.
I agree… 50-70°F is the right temperature. Now if race organisers could please take note rather than schedule races for when it’s triple figures, that’d be mint.

About 10F cooler than on Monday. I’m still dialing in my winter clothing and got this ride just about right - leg warmers, shorts, long sleeve jersey, gillet, cap, long-fingered gloves. Shoulders were cold at the beginning, so maybe could have used a base layer, but I had the top of the gillet unzipped. Toes got cold around the 90-minute mark, so maybe also need some toe covers. Otherwise perfect!
Dialed in the route I’m going to take the wife on this weekend. Mostly Z2/3 ride, with lots of stops for pics. More perfect weather!
I can’t remember who else posted a similar silo, but I promised I’d take a pic of this one while I was here.
There’s a well disguised rabbit in this pic!
The new Strava AI is trolling me for living in pancake flat Houston!
I was looking for the rabbit in the top pic. No wonder I couldn’t find it! 
Found the owl, though.
lol. Oops!
Hiking in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with the wife on our 27th wedding anniversary! She has tricky knees, so the way down is slow, but she loves being in the mountains. We went to a concert last night, so slept in a bit, but still got started around 10am. Great way to spend the day together.
Happy Anniversary 
We planned holidays in Chiasso, there were no free rooms there so we went to Como. Did a bike ride from Komoot yesterday, it ended on the Muro di Sormano which was quite the climb. As it turns out the Giro di Lombardia goes right through it today. 
Our hotel is right on the final racing track. To my girlfriend it probably looks like I planned all this, but I had no idea.
Wow! Those Zwift graphics have really improved!
It’s VR!
Same ride as the other day, but this time with the wife. Dealt with some cold winds, but otherwise a beautiful day and a great ride together.
Oh…and alpacas!!
Yesterday was the normal group ride to the pub but it started pouring when we were there so we had a 3rd pint and being a bit p1ssed I lost the 53.5 miles to the Pub (Falcon in Fotheringhay).
I did get home though.
Today was another group ride but in the exact opposite conditions it had cleared overnight and temperatures dropped to 4deg C and suffering from chemo induced neuropathy I deliberately overdressed.
When I was cleaning the bike I decided I’d go out for a short recovery on the gravel bike before dinner. First time I’ve ridden it in a bit. I think I need to up my core strength and adjust the right shifter I might have knocked it crash earlier in the year.
Lost beer miles 
Used the bike trailer for the first time this morning. Last night I put some scrap metal in my wagon to bring to work thinking I could take the GFs car for preschool drop off but she had an MRI at the same time so seemed like good excuse to finally try out the trailer. Lots of kids get dropped off in joggers, cargo ebikes, other bike trailers, and even some of the pre k kids ride balance bikes form time to time. Just confirms our decision to move where we did. Also almost have the GF sold on a cargo ebike.
Little windy this morning so she was huddled up but said she loved it when we got to school.
Where?!
Frederick MD. I wanted to go more into the woods, she wanted to get as close to DC as possible (technically where her office is but is 100% WFH). Weren’t looking in Frederick at first, slightly west since I still need to get back to WV for my business but we kept visiting and realized it was perfect for us. The cycling community is huge here didn’t realize until we got here. You can find a ride every day of the week. Don’t have a MTB again yet but I can technically ride from my house to trails (little far but doable). All 3 of the tots eventual schools are walkable from our house. Some sources claim it to be second largest city in MD, others put it like 4th? Either way having lived in Atlanta, worked in NYC and philly (her DC, London and grew up outside Pittsburgh) it doesn’t feel like we live in a city but access to stuff and being able to bike her to school is great.
