  • I absolutely adore Apple’s Butterfly keyboard switches. To me they offer the best typing experience of any laptop/tablet keyboard out there, even better than those of my past ThinkPads. Hopefully this Smart Keyboard Cover will last as long as the price suggests.

  • Good end to a work day:
    Sitting on the couch on my balcony, my dog curled up next to me, a glass of my favourite whisky in my hand, the last remnants of daylight dwindling, watching a few minutes of a comfort food movie before heading to bed.

  • On the one hand I applaud Deezer for offering up such diverse music in “Flow” (essentially a “recommended for you” mix) but on the other hand some of the choices have been weird, to put it mildly.

  • So that ride yesterday was something. My legs are still completely empty. Walked the dogs this morning and a small incline over 300 m was enough to make them hurt. I might actually get sore legs tomorrow. Haven’t had that in years.

  • Essentially a whisky run

    This ride turned out harder than expected but it was still fun for a number of reasons:
    1. My stamina is improving. Not only did I survive an unplanned and slightly sketchy climb on a largely unused fire road after I took a wrong turn, I later also managed to hold a 46+13 gearing and ~ 89 rpm on a flat paved road with a headwind for 8 km.
    2. Planning the trip, Komoot added two pieces of trail to the ride that I didn’t know about. One really nice and flowy part of forest singletrack and one ascent that I always wondered about when taking my regular route through the Mattheiser Wald; it looked too overgrown to ride on my gravel bike but is actually an almost mellow ascent but for the loose gravel.
    3. One of my goals was to buy a bottle of whisky because I’ve been out of that particular one for a while. I managed to snag a bottle, so carrying my insanely heavy lock with me for this tour was worth it after all.
    4. Still not happy with the way I carry my Fujifilm X70 with me on rides but very much happy I brought it. The photo files are so much more flexible than what my iPhone offers, even when shooting RAW.

  • A quick recommendation for people interested in gravel cycling.
    Katherine Moore works for the Global Cycling Network and pops up in front of the camera not nearly enough but she has an infectious enthusiasm and her writing style is great: katherinebikes.com

  • Trier is currently experiencing the first instance of consistent rain in weeks. I’m very happy about it and plants and animals will be, too.
