Woke up really early to catch the lunar eclipse that was visible from the west coast today... Not bad!!

that is all.

Presented without comment cause I'm lazy Did my first proper adventure with friends in over a year yesterday... got some nice photos along the way. Alltrack did excellently with 250mi of hard roads, 16-35mm did great as well.

I now have 5 infinity bikes and reality can be whatever I want

More details later but the short version is I picked it up from a friend for a price I couldn't refuse. '19 Cannondale Habit, Fox Rhythm 34 and Float w/ lockouts, SX 1x12, dropper post that's a little too short but it'll do. It's a gorgeous bike and several tiers above anything I've owned before, and I'm quite excited to get some trail/downhill miles on it!

Hmm...

Enhance:

I said ENHANCE:

Ah yes, road bike good. This thing is an absolute rocket. 12-32t cassette and compact rings made it nice on a short ride with 1500' of climbing, but the thing that really sticks out vs my gravel bike is just how stupidly fast it is. Putting in the same effort just gives WAY more speed. And it's comfy too!

@ITA97 I'll probably jinx myself by saying this, but never once on today's ride did I get two downshifts when I asked for one. Apex 2x10 is a very different beast than the Apex 1x11 that I've ridden.

Oh also @Highlander
Pedals: Clipless
Mirror: Gone

Can't let the trucks be the only ones to have the fun here

Who's got a longroof here!?

For the purposes here, you have a wagon if:
-it has glass over the rear cargo area
-it's based on a sedan or hatch but with an extended roofline
-it has a seat height and roofline lower than a typical CUV (I'll let the outback slide here, lifted wagons are good)

I find snow, I park not-jeep on the snow. This is the way.

Got some very fun skiing in today...

Finally, a very important DOTS. Someone has THE. BEST. SKI. CAR. On proper snow tires-didn't see if awd or not, but guessing it is.

@manwich naturally aspirated EJ25s with precisely 99K miles on them and no headgasket replacements.

Round two of Moderna done! Thank goodness. Here's to a better 2021 than 2020.

Related cool glacial erratic rock from the drive home, for your time.

Haven't had much time to post lately but life has had a couple fun little upsides lately...

First off, both bikes got new contact points on the bars. Lock on grips for the manomano and fancy donut bar tape for the rove:

Been riding the wheels off both bikes as much as possible. Good times...

Then... my macro lens arrived! Shortly followed by the older EOS Rebel G.

Couple photos from the macro lens. This thing is a total blast and I should've gotten one AGES ago haha.

@kitt222 Yeah that's... not a hybrid. Blue outline and says hybrid on the back

@jminer It really was!

@carsoffortlangley YO NICE!

@carsoffortlangley Alas no! getting school credits (sorta $$) to look at rocks.

Riding will probably always be non-pro for me. Although, Kona, Cannondale, Santa Cruz: My DMs are open if you wanna send me free bikes

Adventuring for fun and in a somewhat professional capacity took place this weekend... lots of photos!

Up first was smith rock for some riding + hiking

First time riding here with my 29er, 130mm traveled bike and it was fantastic!

Night 1 sunset

Crooked River

Cool rocks (and the actual reason for my visit)

Day 3 sunrise

Possibly the coolest roadcut I've ever seen. pretty rocks

View looking the other way from that same road... very pretty. Wild gravel road too, actually used the faux lockers on my car a bit!

@essextee relatedly, @e90m3 's M3

@essextee a couple spring to mind...

Gonna nominate @GibbsEmphasis for BOTH of his.

Also, @Jordan for the fast cavalier?

And maybe @monkeepuzzle's civic?

And definitely @fintail for namesake

@silentbutnotreallydeadly You spelled AE86 funny...

@poor_sh hey that's my idea sir
