long time no post, good to see some old names still posting in here. today will make 761 days of riding.
Ride Streak, What Keeps You Going?
- Thread starter ridetoofast
- Start date
It just seems like more of an amiable way to get around. Breakfast bagels and waffles are both equally satisfying when acquired during a bike ride.
I was able to get 6 days in a row this summer when on vacation and being 1500 miles from my daily responsibilities. But I truly do love riding I guess that’s why after 25 years of doing it, I still feel like a little kid with streamers. Inching closer to not have an 8-5 gig, then maybe I can go for that 700+ day ride streak.
I haven't ridden in 86 days. It was hard not to ride that much at first, but it gets easier every day. Now my legs and fitness are atrophied, withered away for the day when I can finally ride with semi-regularity again.
Got lights?
There ya go, @Adventurous is young and doesn’t need sleep. Nite riding is a lot of fun with decent lights.
Got some Night Riders that were cutting edge technology. 15 years ago. From the era when I rode with Splat at Nam, which should be a good indication of their age.
Still cannot ride a wheelie. No matter the circumstance...
It's easy to ride here (netherlands), i use my bike to go to work, do shopping, and 3 or 4 times a week for some trails.
When it comes to continuous offroad riding, variation is the key. From here I can do road, gravel, cyclocross and XC rides, and we have one of those velosolutions pumptracks in town. I can actually pedal there over bike-exclusive roads.
Within a 1-hour carride I can reach some entertaining flowtrails, and within 2 hours i have terrain to punish my Giant Reign.
Too bad chairlifts are so far away.

I have an 800+ day running streak going. Its nice, but the best days are when I get to combine both things in one...rides take up hours, when a run is usually 30-45 minutes or so...
When I do string rides together in the family/work routine they're usually at night after 8pm. That's really fun but ending rides at 11pm for 3 nights in a row is rugged on sleep.
the replies are as entertaining as ever. i'm fortunate to have a trail right here at my house* along w/a stable of bikes to change things up. i've developed a titanium habit since i last posted regular here.

Been kind of tired of my local single track lately. Been on the hunt for a gravel bike to mix things up.
