VɅVɅ

Hej!

Wir sind VɅVɅ, ein lockerer Zusammenschluss von Freunden, Familie, Kollegen und Bekannten - alt und jung - aus dem Großraum #Dortmund, die gemeinsam Freude am Fahrradfahren leben und erleben.

Bei VAVA geht es nicht primär um sportliche Herausforderungen, sondern um gemeinsame Aktivitäten, gegenseitige Motivation und Spaß auf dem Fahrrad.

Allzeit gute Fahrt! ☀️

Grrr another road bike issue tonight. Topped up the pressure, all was good. Get half a mile from home, rear tube finds a gap between the rim and tire and blows.

At least it was close enough to walk home, and I just took the Brompton right back out the door for a cool 33 mi.

Ah well, it beats car maintenance by orders of magnitude. But I think I'm done with this folding tire soft bead thing, not the first time this has happened. I gotta find somewhere in #Boston that will sell me 27-¼ wire bead tires.

Viele 🚗 🚚 🚗 treffen sich gerade auf der A19: Rostock -> Dreieck Wittstock/Dosse, zwischen 0.3 km hinter Bansower Forst und 3.1 km vor AS Krakow am See und blockieren die #Autobahn.

Vielleicht protestieren sie für mehr #Carsharing. 🤔 Nutzer*innen von Carsharing nutzen übrigens bis zu 30% ÖPNV und bis zu 20% das Fahrrad. (Quelle: bcs)

"Großartig, dann bleibt noch Zeit eine Runde Wald zu scheppern."

Durch ein spontanes Kinderfrei konnte ich meinen heutigen Arbeitsrückweg strecken und noch fix auf Wald- und Wiesenmodus kalibrieren. Richtig guter Arbeitsausgleich, jedes mal aufs Neue.

"Cabonara, e una ... Ach, Mist!" :oD

"Carbonara e una Coca Cola..."

Ein Ohrwurm, welcher mal so gar nicht ins eigene Musik-Beuteschema passt, ist wirklich nervenaufreibend.
Und dann auch noch dieses unangenehme Gefühl jedes mal nicht weiter als der Refrain kommen zu können, da einem die Strophen völlig fehlen. Immer wieder ein neuer Anlauf, immer wieder eine herbe Enttäuschung nach dem Refrain :oD

my Fenix BC21R light did not last through this ride, although I left it on the charger and it *should* have been topped off. they claim 33 hrs of illumination at the lowest setting (where I generally leave it)

not sure what's up with that. the battery shouldn't be toast, it's practically brand new.

lesson learned: get a spare 18650 and carry it with me on rides longer than 3 hrs. better safe than sorry.

It would be fun to time-lapse the whole ride, but my action camera was acting up and would not stay powered on, with plenty of juice left in the external battery.

Either the connector is on the fritz, or (more likely) there *must* be some residual charge in the on-board battery for stable operation. I know the on-board was close to empty when I started the ride. I dunno, maybe there's a steady drain or something. I got enough footage to grab some stills and clips at least, and that's all I really want.

Vibes at the start line were good, too. The 'canonical' departure from the starting line is at midnight, but people begin the route from 6 PM onwards. Lots of cheers from the descending crowd for those who are grinding out the final climb to the start point.

The Midnight Marathon also sets a new record for my longest ride: 53.93 mi from my home to the starting line and from there to the finish line (i.e. not counting the short trip home from there).

The previous longest ride was to Concord at 50.99 mi.

The stars of the Midnight Marathon for me were definitely this couple on a tandem with a speaker trailer, blasting house music the whole way through (much of it by Ben Böhmer). Great fun to ride in their sonic shadow and I stayed near them for most of the whole return leg.

When I left the start line I was chasing a group with a sound system¹ in search of riding tunes, but I ended up passing them, and a few others. Eventually I caught up to the trailer and the surrounding pack, which had immaculate vibes and was going about ~12 mph which was a just-right pace for me.

¹ they might have been SCUL members, actually? they were all riding Contraptions. I don't see anything in the SCUL mission logs but I believe that not all rides get logged. I asked someone in the know. (Edit: yes, there was an unofficial cohort)

Ich habe alle Fahrradklingeln getestet die es gibt (damit ihr es nicht müsst).

Billig, teuer. Glockenförmig, rund, drei und viereckig. Digital, analog, dampfgetrieben und ich habe es mit Brüllen versucht.

Die einzig wahre Klingel ist von Chirp.

Sie ist winzig klein, kostet 10 Euro und ich muss mich daran gewöhnen 200m eher zu klingeln weil die Leute sonst vor Schreck in den Graben springen.

It was a bit of an ordeal, but the road bike has been given its inaugural "okay winter is no longer an excuse" deep cleaning, in anticipation of tonight's Midnight Marathon since it's also an opportunity to check all of the components.

Bit of a chore without a hose, but a two-basin bucket does the trick well enough with an interlude to change the water.
