End-Of-Summer time season Hiatus! – Bike Snob NYC
I don’t use Strava…other than the couple years or so after I did. By the best way, I merely tried to seek for after I started and stopped using Strava, solely to hunt out it was down:
Huh, I don’t loads as take a look at Strava for a yr and after I lastly do it doesn’t even work. I suppose the universe is attempting to tell me one factor–and that one factor is “Don’t be a wanker.”
Anyway, the aim is I don’t use Strava, nor do I observe my working a weblog output. Nonetheless, on a whim I did look it up (gotta do one factor whereas Strava is down) and apparently in 2024 alone I’ve typed over 136,000 phrases into this website online. That’s a lotta bullshit! And it doesn’t even embody texts or emails or Grant Petersen fan fiction or any of the alternative stuff I write within the midst of the day that you just simply don’t even study–plus I’ve purchased to fend off the wildlife:
So whereas it feels every disingenuous and vulgar to advocate that any aspect of curating this weblog is “work,” I must nonetheless announce a quick and non everlasting leave-taking of the sort that, had been this actually work, I’d verify with as a “journey.”

Nevertheless it doesn’t actually really feel desire it. Like a physique that’s been repeatedly stripped down and constructed up as soon as extra I consider this weblog’s readership has turned over a lot of situations since then, nevertheless whether or not or not you’ve been finding out it for awhile in any other case you merely acquired right here all through it as we converse after entering into the time interval “Y-Foil porn” right into a most well-liked search engine I’m grateful that you just simply’re proper right here. I’m moreover grateful for all the people who’ve made financial contributions to this weblog’s upkeep, which you’ll be able to do each instantly, or else by means of Ko-fi while you’d want to throw your money away on a recurring month-to-month basis. (Though in spite of everything you’re beneath no obligation to do each, and your devoted readership–and even your occasional skimming as a result of the case may be–is reward enough.)
In order quickly as as soon as extra, thanks. Get pleasure from the rest of your summer time season, and can all your rides be laterally stiff and vertically compliant, till you prefer it the alternative means spherical. See you on 13.0.11.15.14.
