If you lived here, you could have been lying on a bed of wild grasses with hummingbirds and dragonflies buzzing about by now

A friend let me try his e-mountain bike today,and it was a game changer. You can adjust the amount of assist so you are still working but not dying. I did bite it pretty hard on the way down and have some road rash to show for it. I know some are completely anti e-bike, but I loved it! I would not use assist for road biking, but for mountain biking? Yes please. 🚵‍♀️

Sunday Sends Bike Riding and Paris Baguette pastry store -- Heart Heart! I got a ride in with Jeremy and Ben this morning. Weekly Sunday Sends bike ride that Jeremy set up. Twas a little warm, but I had a great time. My rear derailleur cable frayed up and blew off, but we got it working again. I scored some garlic croissants and a pastry and am chilling at sbux writing a tune.

As a mountain biker, you take risks but you're in control of your risks. In road racing it's so much about positioning and the risk is completely out of your control. You put yourself in a position in the peloton and hope for the best, that nobody in front of you crashes. That took quite a lot of mental work for me to overcome.

#cycling in the Pro peloton and mental work

We read a lot about positioning in terms of competitiveness too, even WvA struggling lately after all his crashes and injuries, riders expending a lot of energy on this matter that would miss in the end

Here Alan talks about transitioning from #mountainbiking to #roadcycling

Just added a 3min version of yesterdays #cycling / #mtb . Not a single-trail as @pfernandes 's video, but it was fun nevertheless:

Just wondering if I should also record some footage from uphill. But you'd just see me slowly fighing up a forest road, heavy breathing ... :-D

I decided to start the MTB season with a loop over a local mountain.
I was a bit ... curious how I had managed to preserve my fitness over winter. But hey, I was really positively surprised! Uphill went really well and ways better than expected.

Unfortunately I didn't record any clips from the uphill, but hey, enjoy some moments from rolling down and back home.

And I also tested my new actioncam chest mount. Well - it works.
