Almost died…again. Crossing an intersection a driver was turning left into the side street I was crossing and almost t-boned me. I saw it coming and sped up and swerved to get out of the way. God I had dumb drivers. Anywho…

#1. Glad you didn’t get hit. I don’t want to have to drive up there to kick some a-holes ass.
#2. Look at that white fluffball in the pic. ❤️

Haha thanks!
As for the fluffball, there were actually two of these fluffballs AND an emu on the property. It would have been fun to jump the fence and play a bit.

Conditions were better than anticipated. It was a bit slippery, but the rocks were dry at least. It was hot and humid, and I pulled a fucking tick off my leg when I got back to the car.

Ride time 1:16:19
no Bonus
I was pretty sure this ride was over before it started. Couldn’t get the front der to shift to the big ring it’s all gummed up from too many gravel rides and salty water. Got it loose enough I thought it was working oh finally I had to stop and give it a nudge by hand to make it move over. I left it in the big ring the whole ride we just cruised around some flat roads.
Was a little cooler than yesterday and once the sun went in I was glad I had knee warmers and a vest. Started to drizzle right after I got home so still happy for an unplanned ride outdoors since tmw it’s not looking great. Almost forgot to take a pic so tried to get one mid ride of the big ring and failed just got my cool socks #pactimo.

Thanks - but they are 40mm gravel tires, which really isn't too bad. They are relatively wide tires for my bike, but nothing like riding roads on an MTB with ]2.5" tires or a fat bike. I wasn't thinking about fat bikes or jumbo fat tires, when I titled my ride.
You don't suck. I could not ride on the road that far on a fat bike either - most certainly not at that speed.

Back when I turned 55 I rode my fat bike 55 miles in honor of my dad who passed at 55. It hurt but I was way stronger then, but it wasn’t part of a daily challenge which changes everything.
Still impressive and I still suck lol

No bonus but there should be a bonus for a rain ride below 50°. I timed it perfectly - started raining 3 minutes in an didn't stop until I was less than 1 mile from home. The sun came out as I pulled into the driveway. Anywho, last ride in NJ for probably the rest of biyf. Adios miserable weather.
