Part of riding on the road is taking command of the road. Nobody is going to give you space, you need to take what you need.
ha, I take the exact opposite approach of this^

My logic is that I am invisible, no one can see me, and I select my path accordingly. Lane filtering on a road bike seems like a recipe for disaster.... On motorcycles it works because you accelerate away from the front of the line - but on a bicycle you're just encumbering traffic.

The exception would be gridlocked traffic, like they have constantly in socal. I just rip between cars all day in that scenario. We don't have dead stopped gridlock in Phoenix, though.

Rode Vail Vortex to Fairy Tree, and other trails today with the Old Pueblo group in Tucson. 15 mile loop, weather wasn't bad at all. All blue trails, but very flowy.

Lots of tall cottonwood trees and shade, quite the oasis in the desert.

I'm @ 127 miles this week, I think 160 last week.

Been riding a steady/solid amount, nothing WILD. Loving these sunrise rides.

When turning left, I am wide right so traffic turns ‘under’ me. I am not in anyones way. I would avoid a situation like this during route planning. Instead of taking a left from one busy street to another, I would find another more direct way to get from point a to point b. But sometimes it is inevitable.

I leave the intersection when the coast is clear - The majority of the time, I am a quarter mile down the road before they get moving.

In my experience traffic treats you very differently based on your speed. When I was <20mph avg I was ‘in the way’ and people would right hook me all of the time and honk / get frustrated passing me. Now that I average >20 mph and sprint out of stops people are a lot more respectful.

Rode the 24Hour Trail in the Old Pueblo (24IHOP) with the Old Pueblo MTB group last Sunday.

Last time I did this ride was during the 24hour race event hosted by Epic Rides Last February. Rode 7 laps (16 miles per lap). At the start of the 6th lap, I broke my collarbone and a level 3 sprained thumb (30 miles ridden with a broken collarbone).









2nd time I broke the same collarbone. You can see the old bone growth from the first break.
I'm not blessed with riches, but I am rich with blessings.
Thank you, LORD, my God.

Looks a lot better than what I did to mine. No surgery needed?

No, but it still hurts. My range of motion is now severely limited. I think I have a Type 2 SLAP tear. Problem with medicaid, they don't cover the repair.

Hmm, unfamiliar. I'll have to google those. Thanks.

So when it's 109F outside, what do you do?

Go riding before it hits 115F

Why do you think this? Did you get an MRI? I need labrum repair. By looking at the xray they have an idea IF there may possibly be a tear by measuring the gap, but they require an MRI

It's only a guess on my part doing some google-fu. Basically, hurts when I do an external rotation. Common among pitchers, and those who break their collarbone when it's done when extending your hand forward to break your fall.

The first time I broke my collarbone, it was landing on the back of my left shoulder (scapula) extremely hard. That healed nicely, and had full motion after 3 months.

This time, I was bucked, went over the bars at extremely high speed. Natural reaction was extended my hand to catch myself so I don't faceplant. My arm pushed into my shoulder breaking the collarbone.

Anyway, they say a type two slap tear is usually career ending for pitchers as they can no longer throw a ball. Surgery is the only fix, and it's still a long recovery time. Surgery itself is minor.

Again, this is all speculation on my part.

Lol, that 24 hour race looks like the least fun you can have on two wheels. Had a buddy trying to convince me to give it a go with some group, no thanks.

I almost signed up for the Prescott EPIC ride, but again.... Just not for me. Now they have the one coming up in OCT in Pine.

I recently started a ride before 4:00 am, Strava auto-titled it a "night ride" lol

I need to swap my MTB back to single speed; when I have it set up with gears I just don't want to ride it as much.

McDowell/Browns has some of the best easy green flow trails on earth. I love it out there. Hardtail heaven.

I rode the "Tour of the White Mountains" by epic rides (Pinetop-Lakeside). 50-mile Singlespeed class. I wouldn't do the 50 miler again. There were several hike-a-bike sections, and one particularly grueling. Even geared bikes had to hike-a-bike.

It was fun though, but I wish the finish line was better marked. I blew right past it, and had to turn around.

I've always wanted to ride Brown's Trail. Haven't been, but I heard it's flowly and scenic.

Here's my ride at the Tour of the White Mountains last year.

Does it dislocate or sublux?

Could be a lot of things.

Are you a MLB pitcher?

You are throwing a lot of stuff around (no pun intended) where you have no information: a) no test results b) you haven't seen a Dr c) you have no medical training.

just go to a Dr

Internal pain in the shoulder.

Basically:


Like I said, it's only a theory I have. I've broken my collarbone before, and healed just fine. This time, I broke it by extending my left arm forward. Hurts when I do an external rotation, as if I was pitching a baseball, throwing a stone, etc.

I am liking what Trek is doing now with their paint jobs. I'm into high end aluminum frames and upgrading them. I have a CAAD12 and an Allez Sprint. This is great for someone looking for an entry level road bike

Got there a little late, just before 7pm.

Finished it after dark, and didn't bring my lights. Ugh. Still, riding is better than not riding.

Since no one wanted to join me, no action shots. Just a AZ sunset on top of Mormon Trail.

SSing Mormon/national is actually a very good way to do SoMo. They close the road to cars on Sunday morning, so I like to take national all the way to the saddle where the trail meets the road, then climb the road back up, and take the trail back down to the east parking lot.

Tortalita Preserve Trail out in Marana, AZ.

It's a green trail, nothing exciting, but it has its flowy sections. No exciting pics.

Out riding with a group about 20 of us.
