Rest days are good, and sometimes a rest week is even better. First time in saddle since riding 150 miles last weekend for the #BikeMS #PedalToThePoint felt pretty good. Casual spin home after meeting an old friend for lunch at @birdtownbrewing . Had a few sprinkles but dodged the worst downpour, which seemed to be in the airport area. Thanks to @summitmetroparks (I assume?) for starting the work to reconfigure the dangerous intersection where the Bike & Hike Trail crosses Seasons Road in Hudson. The previous painted crossing lane left you out like a sitting 🦆 right where eastbound traffic made the turn onto Sullivan Road. This will be a big improvement! An even bigger improvement would be a traffic light; it’s near impossible to get through there during rush hour. Thx to @all_around_cyclery for suggesting and hooking me up with these @teravail Camrock tires for my #RitcheyAcsent. They are a worthy replacement for the venerable Vittoria Mezcals that finally gave up the ghost. I tried them out this past Sunday on the #RedEagleGravelGrinder short route (sorry; no pics from that ride). They are an excellent choice if you’re looking for an aggressive multi surface tire—fast and quiet on pavement, stick like glue on gravel from fine to chunky. Really helped me cruise through the chonkiest part of the #FallsGravel #Route8Gravel on my #BikeCommuting route this morning! Finally capped off the bag collection on my #RitcheyAscent with a Stem Cell Top Tube Bag from @broadforkbags to match the handlebar bag, Bar Buckets, and full frame bag. Fantastic work as always! #BridgeToNowhere Some sprinkles in the morning soon cleared up, making for a cool and pleasant 42 miles on the 7th and final day of #GOBA2026. I chose the longest mileage option every day for a total of 389 miles in the week. This is the farm where they grow the Giant Yellow Hoses. #GOBA #GOBA Day 6, 52 miles, #Goldilocks weather! #GOBA Day 6
