The "I sometimes break a sweat" thread

Cyclocross is freaking hard. Not my video, but somewhere in it you'll see me get lapped.

EDIT: ~26:05, I'm in orange and navy kit.

Rest assured you'll never see me in a cyclocross video.

Nice job. A few familiar names on the start list.  Face plant at around 2:30 minics my CX experience lol, I stick to the road.

The guy that won was apparently a pro for awhile, but I'm not sure what level.

Rode my age today. I'm 61 and rode 62.1 miles. Woof, I'm tired! So far today I've consumed: A cappuccino, a spinach & cheese croissant, and two beers. I'm bushed!

Out to the edge of town:


Breakfast at mile 18:


Liquid lunch at mile 52:


Downtown:

Oops I did it again.  I turned 62 this week so after our normal club breakfast ride I.... just kept riding.  Ended up with exactly 62 miles (although Strava frizzed out for a bit; I guess I accidentally paused it or something, so it was actually a little more).  Strava ended up at 62.2 miles.

And then I followed it up with a 31 mile group ride to see Big Boy, the largest steam locomotive in operation in the world.

Last night I rode over to watch the game at the Bills Backer bar.  7 miles, giving me 100 bicycle miles over the last three days.

Fantastic physical feats! You are this room's iron man. If you get in a quarrel with your usual combatants just challenge the rogues to a road race. You will leave them in the dust! You are the Aud Room's Lance Armstrong (without the steroids--just expresso coffee).

Nice. The cool kids in the peloton call that a "metric". 100km!

Yes, I tell everyone I'm a century old.... in metric.  😉

Nice @Doohicksie! I did my first metric a few weeks ago. It was... an experience, lol. I'd do it again, although probably on a bit less gravel, and not having done a climby ride the night before.

Wow, congrats!

My ride today was just to get to the Bills Backer bar.  8 miles round trip.

That's my fixed gear bike.
