Turns out that good cycling fitness doesn't translate at all to running. Just wanted to get my heart pumping a bit, and now some of my thigh muscles are close to being non-functional, after not even 5km of slow jogging: https://www.strava.com/activities/1831523082

 

Wait, WHAT? There's a pro Deutschland Tour again, and I didn't even know about it? http://inrng.com/2018/08/the-deutschland-tour-is-back/

 

If anyone in Berlin is interested in cycling the entire Berliner Mauerweg (~150km) this Sunday, you're welcome to join us! Easy pace. Heading out from Brewdog at 8am: https://www.strava.com/clubs/330026/group_events/366598

 

The grand tour cycling season is upon us, and this time we get to see a ton of sensor data for the first time ever. Velon.cc offers live data on their site, and here's the summary for today's first Giro d'Italia stage: http://velon.cc/en/news/2018/05/defending-champion-tom-dumoulin-storms-to-giro-d-italia-stage-1-win

Just realized that the UCI mountain bike (xco) world cup is happening around me in Stellenbosch this weekend. Already saw a national champ wizz past the coffee shop, and a BMC team van just pulled out of a parking lot on the other side.

Current Gran Canaria cycling status: doing a group ride up to the mountains early in the morning tomorrow, but I'm the sucker who has to add 17km with 250m elevation both before and after the actual ride to even get to the meeting point and home. I call it extra homework.

 

Just got a serious bike fit. Feels like a tailor-made new bike now. Best upgrade ever.

 

Finally almost on the road again. Tomorrow's next leg of my Germanland cycling tour: https://www.strava.com/routes/9481911

 

Anyone I know visiting the Tour de France start in DUS this weekend? I'll be in town Friday night to Sunday afternoon...

 

The city of Cologne is counting cyclists in various hotspots, and publishing the live data: http://www.eco-public.com/ParcPublic/?id=677

 

Had a great time cycling to OpenTechSummit and back with @jancborchardt@mastodon.social yesterday. Realized I should do way more social rides.

Anyone else in Berlin into cycling (fast-ish), and interested in a group ride this weekend or sometime next week?

 

Took the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt for a spin, and I'm pretty impressed. The turn-by-turn navigation and Strava route sync are fantastic.

 

If you're interested in joining me on a 4-stage, fully serviced amateur cycling tour from Munich to Venice next September, please ping me! http://www.rad-race.com/kopie_tourdefriends-13092017/
