  • Going into Freiburg the next couple of months it will be hard not to stop by this ice cream shop every time. This stuff is seriously good.

  • From Sunday’s ride. It’s a terrifying yet beautiful sight to see when you’re on the bike.

    Two-lane road extending into the distance on the right. On the right hand side there’s a storm system moving to the left. On the left the sky is still clear showing a view into the valley.

  • Had a good day. Went for a short but taxing bike ride that put me into this state where I’m comfortably exhausted physically and mentally alert. I love feeling like this. 📷 🚲

  • Brunch ride and the long road to build up stamina again

    😕 not happy with how many breaks I had to take on the climbs today.
    Yes, this particular route is a bit brutal and sure, I’ve cycled ever day the past three days but none of them were long or particularly strenuous. I’ve lost so much stamina through and in the pause after the Covid infection in September last year.
    Don’t get me wrong, the pause was necessary and sensible to reduce the chances of damaging my heart but it’s still disappointing and demotivating.

The air is fairly clear with white and grey clouds starting at around 900 m of elevation.

  • While researching tyres for a new bike project, I stumbled across the Vittoria Terreno Zero 700×47c. They’re not listed on Vittoria’s website but lots of retailers have them. Looking forward to giving them a spin. 🚲

Outside of the center of the image, parts of the carbon for and the left drop and brake/shift lever of the handlebars is visible.

  • I do enjoy me some hiking, even in cold and misty weather like this past Sunday.

    Foreground: Flowing grassy hilltop covered in frost and some snow. Closed off on the right hand side in the near distance by trees. Background: Foggy skies and barely visible hills.A path covered in brown leaves stretching into the distance. Coniferous trees, roughly 4 metres high flank the path as it disappears into mist in the distance. Higher trees are visibile in the background.
