#Night#gravel#cycling with a friend! The weather was perfect and the company just couldn’t be better!😍 We’ve pushed ourselves a little bit more than usual! #Swarzedz by night is deserted and peaceful!😁
For our anniversary run of Rene Herse bikes—and for the bikes we ride in long-distance events—we wanted a better solution: a reliable needle-bearing headset that is Rinko-compatible. This is another project that had a long gestation period: We made the first prototypes three years ago. We ran them in Unbound XL (twice), in Paris-Brest-Paris, Arkansas High Country Race, Dark Divide 300 and many other rides and adventures. Along the way, we fine-tuned many details, both aesthetic and functional. We decreased stack height, lowered weight, and increased clearances to make sure the headset works smoothly and quietly under the harshest conditions. We tested and re-tested, and now the headsets are ready.
#GoodMorning#Cycling! It’s #RoadBike mood and weather. A bit more relaxing ride today, with only few mild accents, as I’ve pushed it harder 2 days in a row.
#GoodMorning! My #Canyon#RoadBike has been lonely recently, so I took it for a spin, hoping I will ride strong. I forgot to eat before the ride so it was more of a painful struggle…😂🙈
#GoodMorning#BalticSea! Probably my last ride on this trip! Ventured inland in search of interesting roads, but found none… Just poor quality asphalt and bad drivers!😁 It was way colder today, but what do I care…🥰
I used to love #bicycle touring, but after years of doing routes most riding wouldn't even consider, having various kinds of "type 2 fun" times, and then COVID hit, I just can't get myself to do it. That even applies to supported tours like #BikeSTP! Being a "sitting duck" in a sea of drivers of all personalities scares the everliving shit out of me. :blobfoxscared:
During the pandemic and motivated by the psychological pressures of quarantine, I learned how to ride a #motorcycle, and went through various scooters and larger bikes to get to where I am now. I spent so much time riding street (really rural highways to or through natural landmarks) that I got bored of that, too, so I bought a dual-sport so I could, well, honestly ride gravel roads to places farther off that allow OHV and/or larger use. That dual-sport was a CRF450RL and was sprung custom for a much heavier guy than me, which made it super tall for me. :blobfoxsweating: As you can guess, I traded it in for a #Tenere 700, which I will be riding this weekend on a rural gravel highway that I've ridden before on a much heavier street bike. :blobfoxhappy:
#GoodMorning#BalticSea! I’ve got nowhere particularly interesting to go, so I’ve decided to speed along the seaside through #Dziwnow and #Miedzywodzie to #Kolczewo… Forecast has been unfavourable, but I’ve avoided rain!🥰 Once again felled from the #bicycle at low speed…🤦🏻♂️😁
An entire day we’ve spent on the #beach! What a pleasure, despite overall poor weekly forecast… Favourable water to air temperature ratio made the #BalticSea not so bad…😂 Dear Franiu crashed just at at the end…😅😩
#GoodMorning#Baltic#Sea! A little bit of #morning#gravel is always good. Let’s hope the weather will be better than the last rainy visit…🥰🤷🏻♂️ To bad the route is not directly by the sea, hotels everywhere…😒
#GoodMorning#Gravel! What can you do after #cycling until 1am? Get up at 5:30am and trash your legs even more!😂 I’m surprised with the power I’ve put out after 4h of sleep and no food…🙈
#Night#cycling adventure around the chimney. Decided yet again to start my ride at 11pm, but damn… I’m tired now…😂 I still intend to get up at 5am in the morning, because my plans seem to be fucked…🤷🏻♂️
#GoodMorning#Gravel! Lost nearly 2kg of body weight in yesterday’s heat, so it was time to double down and push towards the rising sun…😂🥰 Had a stressful day yesterday. #Cycling helps!🥰
#GoodMorning#Poznan#Gravel! A nice hot morning, but decided to ditch the forests because of the yesterday’s torrential rain. I didn’t feel like mud today and my drivetrain already looks like dipped in shit…😂
