Tubeless mounting of 40mm Challenge Strada Biancas completed with two sore thumbs, minimal cursing, two Schlafly Oktoberfest lagers, and just a bit of spilled sealant. My first set of tubeless tires (Rene Herse 38mm slicks) made it a full year with zero flats, so I guess the tubeless faff is worth it. #biketooter #biketoot #tubeless

I think I just had the perfect bike ride. The quiet roads and rolling hills in west St Louis County's Wildwood make for great cycling.

At about 5:27 in this clip, a young Slovene named Mohoric gives the most moving and heartfelt sports interview I've ever watched. Sometimes road cycling takes you somewhere transcendent.

Resolution for the remainder of this year: Less reading about bike stuff, what I should ride, where I should ride, and how I should ride; More of just riding my damn bike.

Breadwinner B-Road beguiled by beautiful bluebells. The bluebells along Meramec Greenway are just starting their annual Spring extravaganza. In a few days they should be really spectacular.

Encountered this delightful supply/aid station on Hardt Rd in Wildwood, MO. It's a kid run operation! The compact but thoughtfully equipped site includes a bike rack, work stand, tools, and supplies/snacks (payments on the honor system). It even has a "break room" with a retractable privacy screen. I'm hugely impressed. You can check them out on Facebook @monocyclistsupply.

The St. Louis Cycling Club way back in the day installed markers commemorating members along favorite routes and gathering spots. This one, celebrating William Butler, was erected a century ago this year. His "associations with this spot were always congenial and distinctive." Here's to you Mr. Butler!

First ride on the Breadwinner B-Road and my first ride outside since surgery in October. 2023 is off to a good start. I know confirmation bias is a real thing, but this bike fits like a glove and feels great. #bike #biketooter #breadwinner #bicycle #allroad
