This was me today, in sandals on me old trusty shopping cart mtb.
I do have very similar shoes (all black adidas something gtx) to Brtek as the mainstay and everyday use and light hiking which I don't do a whole lot lately.
Also very comfy Zamberlans for actual hiking where twisting and tweaking your ankles is possible.

I only speak slovake but it's basically the same. 
> I like Tadej's racing more, his unpredictable starts are attractive to fans. Visma does race effectively and with a drive to win, but they and Vingegaard are going through the season in the style of "I'm interested in the Tour, and that's the end of it for me". Tadej, on the other hand, tries to win from February to October. Which is more sympathetic to me.

fixed the crevaison on my triban shitter today. I had to change the tires anyways, unlike bertaczeks old looking contis, my vittorias had some white spots showing the cotton layer and telling me it definitively was time to change them.
I should have properly cleaned the rim and inside of the replacement tire, which would have spared me another crevaison on my test ride. I first thought it was just the tube losing pressure because the tire would need a bit of time to properly seat itself, but it was a proper hole.
you win this time tubeless sisters.

honestly the worst part about rain is starting your ride in it or getting washed unexpectedly
if it isn't freezing and you're prepared you can get in a good zone and feel the inner strength

tbh I don't know about Czech cyclists but last year I rode a hill/mountain event with friends where it was raining like 80% of the time and there were still a ton of people on the start, many of which only did half the distance but still
what I'm getting at is that brtek may still face all the same opposition. What if they are stone cold hardmen who embrace the suck or even thrive on it

Last year I did an event with friends where it rained for 4 hours and we did like 15km of cobbled roads in it.
Probably the strongest riding I've ever done from a mental standpoint, 4 man train blasting by lone hardmen.

The washing up was hell though.

last year it rained so much that I feel like anyone who went outside regularly got rain immunity

something must be stuck in my rear wheel that keeps causing the inner tubes to getting punctured. good chance to properly align the tires with the valve and put the tires in the indicated direction to make it look more professional and not like bertaczek fixed it.

mallorca races, UAE Tour, Hainan, Guangxi, Langkawi etc. 

Avoid all the countries with road furniture, good riders and cold crummy weather. The life of a Li Ning Star kermistomper is the comfiest in cycling.

I've been wondering how the jobber economy works. AI claims they earn 32-200k a year but I think that's PRT not CT level. Another source claims a continental team rider makes anywhere from nothing to a few thousand bucks, fuck knows how much they actually make. Teams like the Universe Cycling rapists with 16 riders and lots of staff (why do they have so many) probably still needs several hundred thousand €$ annually to pay the bills. 
Curious that they find sponsors to front them cash when most of the races they do don't get televised and are in some African/Asian place where the locals probably don't watch live either

my take on the rat challenge 2025:
> I dislike eggplants, so I cut the cubes very thin, just to add some consistency
> cooking all veggies separately lead to me using too much oil
> fresh herb mix was a full success
> green house veggies simply don't cut it and adding sugar would be cheating 
> veggie mix wasn't right, too much zucchinis and not enough pepperoni
I rate 6/10. this needs better quality and ripe vegetables from the fields and some good quality olive oil. 
yeah and please don't tell me to clean the oven. I have a oven clean spray laying around somewhere.

I don't even think this person exist and is just an AI pulling from news articles

> Actually, Arnaud De Lie should be the favorite. It doesn't increase so much that it is unambiguous, but we learned on stage 8 of the Tour, where De Lie was locked in, and in Quebec in 2023, that the Belgian is better in ascending sprints than Girmay. He will also love this simple race, where he doesn't have to struggle so much with his positioning, and he is made to be the strongest in a tough race. The uncertainty about his form is just great. After his spring crisis, he retired in Cologne with breathing problems, and now he missed Mayenne with illness. It creates a little too much uncertainty for me to have him as the favorite, but when the race is not a mountain stage after all, it must be bad if he doesn't sprint for the win

this guy is insane, de lie will get dropped on the first passage over the muur

What Norbert advised was the key, make it less runny. When it all reduced to a more saucy texture the flavors exploded. And doing it one vegetable at a time.
Then I put it back on the stove again, overdid it and burned it just slightly which has destroyed the taste completely kek.

Don't know about doing it in the four (four), guess it is the same heat going on, just difficult to stir and control it.

If you asshume you have to pick Jonas too (you probably should) then the only decish is who is your 8 point sprinter.
Brussels is fairly easy to pick, this is the phase of the season where everyone starts to have the same team.

How do you guys cope with doing the same route everyday? I know it's a first-world problem, but basically all my rides (including commute) start and finish with the same 20 boring minutes to get out of the city. This morning I woke up and really didn't feel like doing it again, so decided to rape a bit. Tomorrow is holiday anyway, I'll ride big then

Oh me too, in the next job I am maxxing out wagebucks and starting to look around for land.
Of course not for the sake of it at any cost, I'd prefer it to be on a hill, with access to a stream, not crammed in between other tiny plots and slightly larger (0,3-0,5 ha), outside of hearing distance of main roads but close enough to a bus stop and/or train station so I am not a full time chauffeur for my future kids for the next 20 years.
And the house has to be really nice, not some CAD shit abomination, like Fishboy's so it will probably be a fancy custom project.
We shall see how many points of this wishlist can be checked out and if I will be able to afford it all without loaning meself to death.

Meanwhile, Dauphiné is closed.

I just ate the leftovers. they were left in the oven for 2 hours with the rest heat before putting it in the frigo and it tasted much better. I'll be more patient the next time and just turn off the oven and keep it there for at least another 30 minutes or so.
also those organic pork sausages were very good, I thought they added wine, but it was cider. would buy again at 50% discount.

Pogačar is a fantastic rider and the Strade Bianche is a tough race but not a super race. He rode away at 90 km from the finish and no one could follow,” he said. “I guarantee: if I had been on his wheel, he would never have dropped me in my good form. Never in his life!
