seachaint<p>Got out on my bike and tried the new Middleton-&gt;Eochaill greenway, at least between Eochaill and Cill Ia. Really peaceful, some lovely uncultivated wetlands to either side much of the way, and a nice little box-café at the Cill Ia end. Would love to do the whole thing someday - hope it gets extended to <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/Cork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cork</span></a>!<br><a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a></p>

It finally struck me last night that Tadej Pogačar is basically the Bazball of #cycling, or Bazball is the Pogačar of #cricket. Both are more than a bit unhinged, really just in it to win, not to draw, and hence often super entertaining. Except Tadej is ridiculously more successful.

Watch this — Greg Lemond (🇺🇸) stuns in the 1989 Tour de France, final individual time trial (solo race against the clock). Wins the overall race and the TT by 8 seconds over Laurent Fignon (🇫🇷)

"In more than a century of racing, the 1989 Tour remains the closest ever."

With the addition of a bottle cage using a handlebar adapter¹, my Raleigh's cockpit becomes a little more crowded, but a little more practical.

I also got some brake levers to replace the ones that came with the bike, which I loathe. No rush on installing those, since the bike is currently inoperable for want of a rear tire :neofox_sob:

Haha! Yes! Today I went to the office #cycling. 40 kms to and 40 kms from the office. It almost feels like it should not be allowed. That you're supposed to be shuffling behind other cars on the highway. It took more time than driving, but on the other hand: commute is now training time! Also it was a beautiful ride. Win-win. Only downside: the laptop in my backpack was rather heavy.
