Fall is flying past already and I'm not sure where the 2nd half of summer went honestly from July thru September.
Some of it was travel, great trip to Bos to hit up a work conference. Great to see ole beanie town and get in a few runs. Got to see Weezer at the MGM Music Hall as part of the conference. Wow!
Decent year riding so far, 200+ activities logged. 61 commutes by bike as of today. Hopefully to hit 75 days of commuting. It would be like what a 1.5 to 1.75 avg when you drop out a few commutes due to holidays/travel weeks/etc. Next year 80? We'll see how winter goes as that's what really slows the numbers down Jan thru early Mar. 1722 miles logged YTD in Strava, so not sure I will hit my 2k goal, but
Garnin logged as follows so far, though the "walking",
| Type | Distance |
| Cycling | 1711.2 |
| Hiking | 18.96 |
| Other | 15.96 |
| Running | 7.89 |
| Walking | 9.44 |
| Grand Total | 1763.45 |
Weight - Floating a solid two ohhhh eat. Not terrible. I'm going to try and focus up a tad more and solidly get down to 205 or less before the holidaze.
The world is truly a strange and in someways unrecognizable place these days. Embrace kindness. Question everything. Persuasion/Compliance is everywhere! :P It's an in joke.
Also if your in the DC area highly recommend the newly re-opened Milken Center for Advancement of the American Dream. It's right near the whitehouse. Some really cool info and amazing art, and other stuff. And the building is really amazing.
New Bike FY2026 - The New Commuter - TBD. Mainly something capable of Racks, Fenders, Bigger Tires and a bit larger than the ole RXC. The RXC is probably still a great CX bike but I haven't raced CX since 2017 or 2018 maybe. New bike adventures await and next summer not having to have a sweaty backpack back will be a REAL nice thing.
Doing plugs on side mount V6? SUUUUUCK. Especially the back side. Even more when you drop the last plug and socket into the pan underneath. Many bad words.
