    Kids at the pub is very British😆 most of our pub beer gardens have kids play area's, but a good country pub will happily be full of everyone from dog walkers and their dogs, cyclists, bikers, car clubs, families having lunch with nan, nans knitting club.. The whole shebang! All getting rotten together ❤😂

      If there is more of a restaurant vibe I don’t mind it as much - especially if the parent are doing the parenting.
      I guess I’m just glad our parents took us to do more kid oriented things.

    Putting my eyes on as much of this earth as possible, be it on foot while hiking at places I can’t ride or reach- or ride the bike to cover more ground is my main goal. Anywhere new is a happy day. I like reason #1 best.

    What a great cycling community you guys have, Tim. End goal of beer should get most of America off the couch and on a bike. The country needs your VLOGS bro!

    Awesome. I don't think you said this specifically, but riding the same route in reverse makes it fresh. Agree on riding neighborhoods and nice city roads just to explore and do new things. Great video.

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is a good point - we do that too.
      It actually how I did my solo century last year to mix it up.

  • @mstark77
    @mstark77 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I like Wandrer a lot. Started using it when I was struggling deciding where to ride that wasn’t the same thing. I also ride when I travel now to capture new roads when. :) They also capture adventures on foot, which can be fun, too.

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah - it’s fun to see it locally but also somewhere new. Especially cool to have those long rides or tours on the map.

    Awesome video. Side note , in Ireland Scotland and England family's at pubs are common.

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I guess it just depends on how much of a restaurant vibe places have. I’m glad this isn’t how my parents had us spend our weekends though.

  • @MLRomo
    @MLRomo 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I too work a bit of an unconventional schedule so on my days off during the week I definitely keep an eye on the weather and if its fair I will do all my errands around my cycling. In the Midwest as you know the sweet spot is between 1 and 3 pm. I have me it a priority in my life and the results in my mood and health have been amazing! Cheers brotha!

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have a couple other friends like this and we do pull off linking up at the odd midday time.

    Enjoyed that riding video.
    Tim, FWIW, research those jet aircraft "con trails."
    Those con trails are intentional weather management, plus other negatives.
    TH-cam, "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy." is one starting reference.

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks!
      There have been attempts to seed clouds - it isn't hidden or a conspiracy theory.
      But the idea that all trails contain chemicals outside of what jet engines produce simply isn't true.

    • @garyseckel295
      @garyseckel295 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Totally agree, but one day recently, I counted 16 jet trails AND I could not count all the others there were also up there. Certified aircraft mechanic here, now retired. Used to travel to AFBs to write technical manuals for GE. Been around both jet aircraft fighters and bombers. @@TimFitzwater

    Brewpubs are the new daycare around here… I wouldn’t mind but it seems the kids wander around and bug staff or pop up under your table or just run around screaming while their parents basically disown any knowledge of them and get drunk with their friends

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah - obviously a mix of some responsible people and some not so much.
      Really glad this isn’t how my parents made us spend our weekend.

    I reward myself with a piping hot cup of coffee and an egg white & cheddar baguette at the local bakery after my winter rides. I find hot food and drink more motivating in the winter than the warm months. Super satisfying on a 35 F day.

    We bring our kiddo to breweries pretty regularly, especially if it's mid-ride. 90% of our non-commute rides we have a kiddo in tow. Most have root beer, so he's good to go.

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They have seemed packed with kids lately. You are having a day out on the bike. That seems different to me. These people are sitting around with the kids - my parents took us to the park - you have already had them outside which matters.

  • @racerx8410712
    @racerx8410712 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Seems like you all have a very cool group and vibe. I mentioned burnout in the last stream and that has a lot to do with "overriding" (being bored with my terrain) but now that I watch this it also has to do with the energy and vibe of the cycling community here. There's a lot of drama, clickiness and enthusiasm really waxes and wanes. I'm sure your community has it's troubles too but I think there is strength in numbers, and I think you have a bigger population. Maybe I need to move (there)?!

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’ve heard other people mention that vibe in different cities - glad I haven’t had that issue. When I got into I was on my old MTB, Ben was on a fixie, we had a guy on a vintage Peugeot and a roadie dude - so I never thought about style or types.

    Hey Tim. I know you ride the C&O and do a lot of long distance riding. I'm finishing my 90s gravel conversion and want to know if you prefer foam or rubber drop bar tape. This is primarily going to be used on the C&O. Thanks. 🚵‍♂️

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When I did the C&O that bike had padded leather tape which I love. I've only used a foam style tape once and I didn't like it. Its so hard to ever clean and I don't feel it lasts as long.
