Hello all,
How is everyone doing? It's been a while since we've had any discussion on here.

Semester exams and grading ended a week back, so managing to get some riding in. Lots of great scenic routes here in Dharwad.

Currently starting day 3 after a very wet day on the Erie canal trail to NYC.

Hi,

Just returning from a bike camping trip on the island of Rügen. Happy riding!

Gravel ride a few days back near the steps of Mohonk Preserve (known as The Gunks), about 90 miles north of NYC ( not too far from the Erie Canal path that Sreepathi is riding).

You guys are giving everyone FOMO here peeps. The last I rode my bike was 4 yrs back. 🫣

This is where I add to the FOMO by sharing my rides in the Austrian Alps. The climbs are a bit brutal though

Superb! Awesome to see all the pics.
My riding has unfortunately been limited to just commuting on average 1 or 2 times a week, and the occasional short ride.

BTW-- if you are in India anytime you have a standing invitation to visit and stay at Dharwad!

Hi, all.
 Great to see all the photos! 
Abhijit, I am located in Hyderabad. I would definitely take you up on that offer sometime.

I'm back! Took the train back after 500 miles/800 km of pedaling over 8/9 days. Had limited power options. I'll send a long report soon.

Abhi, Dharwad looks great.

It's so great to hear from all of you! Mustu, that setup looks fantastic! I just started bikepacking, but you're clearly ahead [as on the bike!].

Phani, Peter, those rides look awesome. I've wanted to do Tyrol sometime but my climbing ability needs to improve :) Maybe I'll start with the Gunks!

Vijay, the instructions for riding a bike are simple: Lift leg over bike, sit down, and start pedaling. In case you've forgotten :)

Clearly, lots of good rides in the International IBN :)

(Of course, if you're in the Rochester NY area and are planning to ride the Canal or the Finger Lakes, let me know!)
