Sunday ChitChat – Week 11 Highlights and New Prompts

Sunday cheers to everyone, from dawn to dusk — whatever your clock says... I’ve got to grab the chance to write this from my kitchen while I can. Sorry it’s short, but I could lose signal any moment.
First off, thanks to nozem01 for his Sunday chat post. As for his reasons for not joining a big cycling event — I won’t spill them here, you’ll need to check his post. It’s a nice read, and not just him but the whole community would welcome your comments there. Appreciating a mate’s effort adds to our community, and it all comes back around, you know?

That’s a cracking line mate. Very wise indeed.
As always, we got Lesmann’s weekly update.
Cycling Community Weekly Milage Update #85, "A little better than the week before"! (Brilliant, mate! Feels good when things get better, and you’ve clocked up 85 reports here already. That’s a whole journey.)
@tanzil2024 shared those lovely views heading to Huairou. A bike’s so handy for running errands or picking things up.

@flemingfarm, this is your first post here — WELCOME! Great to see new people popping up, and especially to hear about their buys, haha… Hope the new shoes work out nicely, and that you find the right pedals for them soon. Cycling can be pricey at times. By the way, we’ve got this initiative you can hop into any time during the week.

nanixxx (yep, that’s me) turned up right at the last minute but joined in the initiative anyway. That’s a win — and a proper classic! 😆
These are days for improvising by nanixxx.
Big shout-out to all the Strava2Hive regulars. Brilliant effort on the pedals, everyone! And hats off to the crew behind the automatic posts who sorted out the glitches this week.
And the moment has come for this week’s prompt!
Do you think of Hive while cycling? Share whatever you can about it. After all, we are members of this blockchain and content creators, which is always a challenge even for those who have been around for a while and are used to it. There are also thoughts about the future of the chain — what we learn from others, what bothers us, what makes us better and more resilient… in short, one can wander quite a lot on the subject! Haha…

Remember to use the hashtag #SundayChitChat, and feel free to invite a friend to join in. That will help us connect with more people.
Catch you soon, hardcore sweaters!
Cool to see some more activity in the community! And even a new face... welcome @flemingfarm
I'm going for a ride later this afternoon. It's a sunny Sunday, so maybe I can take some nice shots along the way. And I can think about your #SundayChitChat question @nanixxx
What a joy indeed. They are small steps, but we are enjoying them. And I am happy that you are also taking part… come on, I have been waiting for the debut of the Bianchi!
Thanks for the welcome. I'm finally cycling more since my running is limited and am enjoying the much farther distances and faster speeds with less impact on my body. The shoes fit just right and my pedals will be here tomorrow morning so I will get to try them on my ride. Just did a 8 mile ride to the lake and back with my boys, my oldest and I are working towards an overnight 100 mile loop trip this summer to the ski area and back.
Always a pleasure!
Make sure to train well for that ride. We look forward to updates!
O well here we are again!
Good to see a new community member, cycling is so popular there has to be more hive cyclists out there. Now the weather is improving I see 20 - 30 cyclists on my Sunday rides while in the winter sometimes I met 1 but mostly none 😅
Twenty to thirty cyclists? Ah, the Dutch go all in or not at all!
