More stuff on flat surfaces...

More stuff that need homes.
Been lingering too long.

I moves these wheels from the floor to the top of the flat file for now...

Porsche cup

Used the mug for the first time after supergluing the handle back on.
It held up OK.
Still holding up OK after about a week's use.
Time will tell...

Paper Pictures -- Part 3 - 1995 Trek Bicycle Catalogue



I have this bike in the garage.
It's a little rough and needs "refurbishing."
Plan to work on it one of these days...

They put it under the "competition" category, implying that it's top of the line.
Carbon fiber was just at it's infancy in the bicycle industry.



 

Rearranging wheels...

Rearranged the wheels on the right hanger to make space to add one more wheel...

Friday, January 28, 2022 -- Cold & Hot

Pretty cold in the house in the morning...

Kinda warm in the middle of the day...


 

Friday, January 28, 2022 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Santa Ana Winds...




The flag shows how the wind is blowing "out".
Not desirable conditions.
It makes the last quarter of the ride directly into the wind...

 

Paper Pictures -- Part 2 - 2018 work trip to Japan & Thailand

Tokyo subway map.
Japanese on one side and English on the other.
I usually actually use these paper maps when in Japan.


I think this was a large park/garden area in Tokyo Harbor.


Hotel where I stayed in Bangkok.
It was a very nice, modern hotel with a full breakfast included.
The pool was on one of the high floors.



Everything in Thailand was very reasonably priced.
The hotel, food, transportation, etc.

Interesting instructions...


Some more instructions.

 

Bicycling Data for 2020 & 2021

 In the past two years, I've ridden more than ever before.
I probably rode my bike more than I drove.

The main numbers that catch my eye are:
For 2021,
Distance = 4004 miles
Number of Rides = 202
Average speed = 18.89 MPH

For 2020,
Distance = 4197 miles
Number of Rides = 266
Average speed = 18.78 MPH


Mount Everest is 29,000 feet above sea level.
There's a "thing" where people climb that elevation in one go (they repeatedly climb a particular hill).
The current record is 6 hours and 40 minutes.
