Sports and politics go hand-in-hand.

Firm supporter of local stores and businesses. It also does help that I have a few good places in walking distance and a healthy city centre. So if I want and weather permitting I can sit on their patio and wave to acquaintances.

And now I'm back to looking at steel (and titanium) adventure hardtails...

Looks awesome. Were confused why you added lemon but after further reading, and rereading, I understood. My tip for keeping a rye starter alive is to keep in in the fridge. Take it out a day before use, feed it 12h before use, use it and put in pack in the fridge after a final feeding. I've "forgotten" starters for well over a month in there with no harm to them. As a bonus there is much less discard.

That said I bake something similar as my staple, apart from the dairy. Sometimes I use whey leftovers from cheesemaking but most of the time just plain water. I get dough, with whatever additives (nuts, seeds, whole grain), into a desired consistency. Let it rest and then bake.

The idea and methodology behind these northern breads almost makes them foolproof.

I enjoy it and the extra scrolling doesn't bother me. Well it bothers me much less that the information it provides.

Law and order is pretty much textbook authoritarian. No left/right bias in that. But he is very much not for redistrbution of wealth nor any empowerment of the workers.

Tarkin is auth-right. Almost textbook. Would move Vader to more center-right as he often ignores or works against (some) chain of command.

On the fatigue part. (Jokingly) It will not get better, you just get faster. With that out of my system, it will get easier and soon you will find yourself more energetic. Because extra training.

When it comes to safety you are going at it the right way. You look for back roads, slower roads, residental roads etc when there aren't cycling infrastructure. But uf it is unsafe I would think twice/thrice if it is worth the risk. Luckily it sounds motorists are already used to safely overtaking slower two-wheeled vehicles.

Depending on your cycling community you can have great use of cycling/outdoor apps with heatmaps. Then you can see where others are travelling. Strava, Ride with GPS and Komoot are useful for me locally. Especially strava with the large community.

If you can afford to save then I highly recommend you to save up for classes. Not just for the exercise aspect but (primary) as a safety measure.

Floating around on ones back is seriously underrated. You just drift around a bit, relax and disconnect for a bit.

Arrow up. Multiple times.

Can I... Can I have some knife-ear degeneracy?

I'm a man with a plan! The plan is to share as much music I can!

Sunday tomorrow. What's your excuse from hitting the gym and PUMPING IRON POWER?

 

Been dreaming about building a (light) custom adventure bike. Rugged, capable and can get me most places. But also de-teched for reliability and field repairability. Steel or high quality aluminium, 2x drivetrain possibly friction, up to 2.5" (or 3") of rubber. 27.5/29 not settled on but why not both. Front and rear racks. And fully rigid. So we come to aesthetics. I really love the look of dual crown forks. Their "make way, coming through" looks. Oh yeahhh baby!

But so far my searches haven't brought any proper fruit. A lot of DM forks, some shiny ones and tons of Chinese results. Nothing that says "choose me". Could be that I would need to go deeper into custom. Real custom.

To continue my quest I seek guidance. If you know any source for rigid dual crown forks let me know. Storefront or custom maker doesn't matter. EU results preferred.

Let me keep dreaming. Also at this point it is dreams, and in the dream there is no budget.
