My new mountain bike build is taking shape. I‘ll be waiting a while for the frame but the small parts are all here, so is the suspension fork, the wheel set is ordered and I just got a great deal on a spider-based power meter. 🚲

Went out for a short but taxing ride today that was challenging in all the right ways. 🚲 📷

Welcome to my family of bikes, @hammerheadrides Karoo 2. 🚲

My new Hammerhead Karoo 2 just arrived. That was quick.

Pedaled my bike up to the Hundsrücken (at 1234 m) on Saturday. It was foggy down in the valley but above 700 m the sky was mostly clear. I got to see atmospheric inversion live for the first time in my life. 📷 🚲

Ordered a @hammerheadrides Karoo 2 cycling computer/GPS. They have a neat trade-up offer until 30 Nov, where I can get € 150.— for my 1st generation Karoo. Looking forward to it. Thanks to frequent updates, Karoos have been getting consistently better over the years. 🚲

Beautiful initiative to get more BIPOC know the joy of mountain biking. 🚲

Another good read about a bike race, a really cool single-speed rig, and an amazing woman.
