episode 2 of my travelogue post closing nutmeg needleworks. come along with ol' Ronaldo on some fun bike rides and musings on the road back east to restart "professional" life.
"To the desert go prophets and hermits; through deserts go pilgrims and exiles. Here the leaders of the great religions have sought the therapeutic and spiritual values of retreat, not to escape but to find reality.” ― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild - It was great seeing you man. Glad no one got bit by that beautiful Western Diamondback! Love you buddy. xoxox
Quite some content..Thank you. Waking up to start my day,coffee and looking out at heavy cloudy West Donegal. One observation,just how perception differs. Your road trip-VAST! Life here in Ireland mostly revolves around a small hub (probably a low end Shimano) as opposed to moving between and all around a Chris King 700c wheel.. Good that your priorities included watching some Great Cycling Classics from Europe. Mine too! You love to ride bikes. Me too! As the World moves more and more away from humans being human,your journey involves walking the path of uncertainty,simplicity and meaning. All the best.
saturday morning tidings to you Felix! enjoying my coffee too, about ready to suite up for a full day out on the bike. cheers, and hope you are enjoying the Giro!
"I smell like the bulk aisle at your natural grocery store." Add in some subtle Nag Champa and I know the exact smell. And, nice looking photos. I love my GRIIIx. Perfect bike camera, much better than trying to lug around a Fuji GW90ii.
Give cilantro a try. I go through a bunch a day. Man these videos slay me. It's like the times we had in the 80's. I'm working my balls off to get back into riding. Vicarious is the word.
ha, you know thats a good suggestion with the whole bunch of cilantro... I think I will just switch entirely to garnishes. good luck getting back into riding! it is always there waiting ... nice to have examples out there of folks pedaling outside into their 100s
Yes, I have (hung out with a rattle snake) I was riding the trail in the hills behind my house in San Jose. The rattler struck my front tire as I rode past it. I stopped and had a conversation with it. I apologized for riding too fast and it’s reply was to slip away quietly into the grass…
Thank you very much for sharing! I enjoyed this very much. I really need to get out more and explore this lovely land we are fortunate enough to exist on.
Dang…was looking forward to seeing Namz. Looked like you had a nice retreat from real life, bet you needed it after Needleworks. Hope your new Factory works out for the both of you and I look forward to ordering a bag this mid summer. ✌️
I daily Teddies chunky, Roy-bose is how I say it, the smoothest tea. I was a couple weeks behind you. Southern AZ was a bit colder than you think. Still waiting for 70s back home.
The only thing missing in this video is some Hermanos Gutierrez. Used to work in Durango. Great place to visit, but you went right past all the good riding in Farmington and Aztec!
Ronnie whats your hair secret? Bikin without showers is a common problem for me living on my bike and darn it the helmet/hat hair sweat is a curse. Yours is looking lush at all times.
Running across a rattlesnake on a ride can be a little scary. Especially when you nearly run one over. I nearly ran over an Eastern Diamondback here in Florida. Since I haven't seen one in years, I took a video of it. When I crouched to get a low angle zoomed in video, it hissed really loudly. Very intimidating.
Olive oil is the sauce of nature, works in salads, meals, pure, on bicycles, motorcycles, everywhere. You’re no human if you don’t have your own olive oil trees and harvest. Your personal garden must have: coffee, olive, salad, tomatoes, onions, strawberries, melon, cabbage, potatoes if not rice, corn, salsa, chili and cycle parts tree. A friend of mine has a Moto Laverda motorcycle parts growing tree and it’s wonderful, he’s got no issues getting the right parts. I plan to seed a campagnolo tree, and grow some chili rubber tree for tyres.
I’d plan a garden surrounded by the tree of wisdom (wisdom a day), a tree of vintage campagnolo parts, a tree of chill (shadetree), a tree of motorcycle parts, alternatively a lemon tree. In-between as said a garden, and to the sides a cornfield, a olive trees field. A cycles workshop, A outdoor Music setup, a BBQ place and an open bathtub for rainwater. A donkey, a goat, a cow, some chicken, dogs and cats.
@@davevan1264 to take it one step further Rooibos has protection status / is trademarked for South African (Cederberg, Western Cape) produced products and elsewhere they use the name Redbush... its a thing. Seen custard and rubarb flavoured tea which was straight up Rooibos.
Hey dude. …. That tea you were drinking..comes from South Africa. Specificity the western cape. It’s art of the fijnbos (fine bush) It’s pronounced “Roy boss” tea….Rooi-boss teah. Best with a teaspoon of honey…no milk. And great for sore throats. …..tease a teaspoon of honey/slice Of lemon and slice the of ginger….hot water and boooom let the healing process begin
I love the vidyas Ron, but I gotta say...I'd like to see you not record while driving. I know it's very common and the roads look empty, but I worry it shows the fans it's an alright to do the same when they are driving. Too many people out here dying in the streets! Nonetheless, much love!
100% agree. Had a friend killed on an empty road by someone looking at their phone. He was 6ft 5". The driver apparently didn't see them till he hit them.
@@Reelsofeels thanks for the feedback --- I have been trying to dial in the audio a little better --- I think this one misses in a few spots, but good to know its enjoyable!
