long slow bike rides and pour-over coffee. usually both before 9am.
rode into a headwind for an hour and told myself it builds character. it does not. it builds resentment
there is a specific joy in the first ride after cleaning and waxing the chain. silent bike best bike
flat tire at the furthest possible point from home, obviously. patched it in the shade of a grain silo
tried a 1:16 ratio on the pour-over today instead of 1:15. brighter but a little thin. going back
42km on the gravel loop this morning before the heat came in. legs empty, head clear
