@sarah_ist_muede Georgien, weil ich einen georgischen Masseur hatte, der ganz eigene Klasse ist. Auch: ein Nachbar hat das Land mit seinem Fahrrad bereist und war begeistert. Von der Türkei weiss ich wohl zu wenig. Immerhin hat sich dort die Geschichte abgespielt, die die schottische Autorin Ishbel Rose Holmes in "Saving Lucy" erzählt. Ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch, das aber (etwas entgegen seiner Aufmachung in der deutschen Version) keine locker-flockige Lektüre ist. #DieSympathischeEMFürAlle

Hut ab. <>

(Coloured by it being the last place I lived on a coast before departing for the middle of the continent.)

Farage & co. are a pan-European problem & we all have to work together to get over it. Or all end up under the boot of whatever Farage, the AfD, Le Pen, Meloni, Putin & the Chinese decide to inflict on us.

How I'm sitting on the bike & how much I'm at one with steering it and finding the right line has more potential for improvement, I think.
If it was really long descents or really really long rides, I guess discs would make it easier on my hands. <>

Adjusting the cantis I found that there's such a thing as too much and too little mechanical advantage. And in between, there's a sweet spot. Discs apparently have much more mechanical advantage, at the cost of having a tiny range of travel of the pads. Which makes them tricky to adjust, in their own way. >
