Next level! After my success yesterday, I tried a route that I didn't do since ages as it is quite steep.
~15km to the 🗻
~5.5km asphalt with ~7% incline
AND THEN
~3.5-4km gravel with an average incline of 17%!!

The sweat wasn't dripping but RUNNING from my face, my shirt completely soaked and I just tried to go as slow as possible.

Heck this WAS demanding. But I did it with just a single 2min drinking pause.

A young man in outdoor gear stands atop a mountain, wearing a large grey and black helmet and a backpack. He is smiling brightly at the camera, with a pair of glasses on and his hair blowing in the wind. He is enjoying the breathtaking view of the world around him, with trees and other mountains in the background. The sky is a vibrant blue, adding to the beauty of the scene. The man looks proud and content, as he takes in his surroundings and the feeling of accomplishment from reaching the summit. He looks as if he is about to embark on a grand adventure, ready to take on whatever challenge the mountain may bring.

Yes!! I just tried #cycling a local #mountain. It is one of my standard tracks with ~450m elevation.

A year ago and with my old #mtb, I couldn't do it without resting during the ascent - and it always took me ~50-60min.

Today I did the 450m in about 45min, without rest and I didn't feel devastated! 💪Seems I did a lot of #training that pays off (together with the new bike).

From last week's mountain biking trip - I just wanted to share that vista with you. I never saw this panorama from this side.
Wherever you look: Mountains, mountains, mountains. Some rare houses and only mountains. THIS feels wild.

Went for a ride and front tire was leaking. Took the bike to the shop and they said "When was the last time you added sealant to the tires?" uh ... when I bought the bike 4 years ago, obviously? #mountainbiking

Pray for my ridiculous 2010 Scalpel XC racing machine. Took it in for a stuck brake piston and mech says it creaks like me before CrossFit.

I don’t want to keep shoveling money at it but it’s so much fun to ride…

I'm back from my #mtb tour!
91km, close to 1000m elevation gain
I don't feel OK - I FEEL GREAT! I'm not deadly exhausted or so. It was just a wonderful day! Just going at a constant, convenient pace, the right clothing, enough to eat and drink, and aaaall the #landscape and #mountains around.
Man, this is life! This is freedom!
Yesterday I struggled if I could make it - obviously I very underestimated my #cycling endurance. 🥰

This photograph captures the grandeur of the outdoors with a stunning mountain range set against a beautiful blue sky. The snowcapped peaks of the mountain are surrounded by lush green trees that seem to fill the entire landscape. A few clouds dot the sky, adding to the drama of the scene. The bright sunlight shines through the trees and illuminates the vibrant colors of the landscape. The picture is a perfect example of the beauty of nature and the serenity of the outdoors. It is a reminder of the wonders of the natural world and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
This image depicts a man wearing a helmet and standing in front of a mountain. The man is wearing a grey jacket and a black bicycle helmet. He is standing on a grassy incline, with a bright blue sky above him. The man has a pleasant expression on his face, as if he is smiling. He is also wearing a black backpack. The mountain in the background is rocky and covered in trees, with tufts of clouds in the air. The man appears to be enjoying the outdoors and taking in the scenery. He is standing with his arms at his side, looking as if he is about to embark on an adventure.

As I bend my trashed prescription glasses into alignment again I move sport glasses up the priority list.

Mountain biking and prescription glasses are a bad fit.

August 24, 2023 - Day 236 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 256

Game: Shred! 2 - ft Sam Pilgrim

Platform: Steam
Release Date: Dec 18, 2018
Library Date: Aug 9, 2023
Unplayed: 15d
Playtime: 19m

Shred! 2 - ft Sam Pilgrim is a 2.5D mountain bike game. I'm not sure simulator quite fits.

Firstly, I don't know who Sam Pilgrim is, and I don't really care to find out. I assume he's the mountain biker you play in-game.

I got an email for a 5-game bundle from Fanatical a couple of weeks ago, and as I wanted one game in the bundle, and $8.00 for 5 games was cheaper than that game on its own, I bought the bundle.

I have a terrible sense of balance which means that riding a bike is a chore, and pulling stunts or tricks is utterly impossible.

Riding a skateboard (or anything with small wheels) is a non-event. Yet I lost countless hours to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, & 3 (even 4, to a degree).

I also got invited to the Rider's Republic beta, enjoyed it enough to buy the game when it went on sale. In both the THPS games and RR, I've managed to pull some pretty wild stunts and had fun while doing it.

None of that mattered in Shred 2. Shred 2 wants you to pull technically correct tricks... perfectly timed. Fail? Start the level over.

I started a lot of the tutorial levels over. The restart level button on the controller is the Y button, which meant I started more than a few levels over because I hit the wrong button.

When I started playing THPS2, I found it incredibly frustrating, but the risk/reward balance was just enough to keep me in the "One more try" loop, and I kept improving.

This was less of a loop, and more of a grind, and it just didn't feel like fun.

It actually felt a bit like OlliOlli World, but without the sense of humour that underlies that game.

Oddly enough, the closest comparison I can make is Forza Horizon to Forza Motorsport. I own Forza Horizon 1 through 5. I've sunk countless hours into Forza Horizon, and I'll tell anyone who'll listen how it converted me to playing arcade racers.

I also own Forza Motorsport 7. I think I've raced three laps, if that. Forza Motorsport is technically demanding, requiring focus and discipline, and understanding the technical limitations of your car and the track.

Forza Horizon, I just press the accelerator on the controller and steer the car, and have a lot of fun.

Shred 2 feels like Forza Motorsport. If I had excellent hand eye coordination, and the ability to repeat the same bio-mechanical movements over and over, I might be able to enjoy it; unfortunately, I don't and I can't.

For me, Shred! 2 - ft Sam Pilgrim is:

2: Meh

Today was often wet, which was fine as we were staying in the same accommodation as yesterday. And above #Strontian, there's a good place for some easy #mountainBiking, with a rocky path, a #singleTrack one and great views.

Tomorrow due to be dryer, we'll be off to #Glencoe by the road and #ferry - which accepts only #foot passengers and #cyclists at present!

NZ GETS GOLD, SILVER & BRONZE at the UCI world champs!!!

Mind you, you won't hear a word about it in the NZ media, because its women's mountain biking world champs, and they only give a rats about track cycling (that almost no one rides in NZ).

Well done to Erice Van Leuven (Gold) from Lower Hutt, Poppy Lane (Silver) from Mt Maunganui and Sacha Earnest (Bronze) from Auckland.

Today hasn't been the most productive day for me. Up late. Had toast for breakfast. Watched some mountain bike YouTube videos. Configured a new Orbea Wild e-bike I want to buy next year. Watched some review videos for We Are One wheels and Industry 9 Hydra hubs.

Then spent 30 minutes tracking down a bug in Tap Forms and actually fixed it.

Now time to go outside and ride my mountain bike.

8y ago I bought a used 26” Cannondale Scalpel Lefty XC racing bike with a slightly too small frame.

I was a novice mountain biker. When I told my mentors the bike was trying to throw me head first they scoffed.

8y later I know I was right. Trust your experience!

I do like that ornery bike though. I ride it often on blue trails where my modern bike is overkill. It punishes mistakes harshly so helps me improve.

Sunset mountain bike ride tonight. Some SF Bay Area smog, but mostly a very nice sky. Out of shape so it was tough riding, especially the super steep ascent I had to take because the storms closed the route I would have preferred.

I don't know if buying a mountain bike at the age of 42 is a sign of a mid-life crisis but at least it's better than buying a sports car 🙂. I decided to go for a budget Fuji Nevada 29 1.7 that was on sale for €387 as I wasn't sure how much I would like mountain biking. I can't compare it to more expensive bikes but I was surprised by how well it handles. Fairly decent hydraulic brakes as well.
