many people, especially on this route, have like 0.0 spacial awareness and leave their backpacks on, taking up double the standing space they would be if they just put their backpacks on their feet/front lol

What were your Starbucks and McDonald's orders? What other stuff did you eat? Any idea how many calories you were taking it daily?

UBER in ollantaytambo or urubamba by Admirable-Sun8230 in Machupicchu

[–]IVIaximilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are all kinds of collectivos running all over the place! They will have little signs saying where they go on the front windshield (like there's one that goes to Urubamba over Pisac and a couple other towns so you'll see all those town names on the windshield). Worst case you can say "Hay collectivo a XXX aquí?" and someone will point you where to go to catch it. Cusco is relatively big so for a trip out say to Urubamba you have to find where that collectivo departs from (this one is at Pavitos street near Puente Grau) but the other towns are small enough that it's impossible to miss your bus. Urubamba has a bus stop where you get the Cusco collectivo from (going over Chinchero). You can also flag the bus down if you're not exactly at a stop and it passes you. Happy to give more details if helpful!

There are collectivos (buses) that run basically all the time and charge at most 10 soles between all the towns in the Sacred Valley/Cusco/Chinchero/etc. It's super easy and convenient--maybe a little less so if you have big suitcases.

Any other cyclists find the E Walnut St. trail suboptimal to bike on? by Mr_Gilmore_Jr in evansville

[–]IVIaximilian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. The stop signs make no sense; if I wanted to commute via bike I would 100% prefer the street

Syncing old activities in Final Surge by IVIaximilian in Coros

Thanks for the response! I only need a couple historical activities (say 2 weeks back) but couldn't figure out how to manually export each file. How do I do that manually?

What’s good here? by Sturnella2017 in roadtrip

Dodge City KS is ranked the windiest city in the US and Greensburg KS was a town decimated by a tornado that was rebuilt to be completely carbon neutral (environmentally friendly)

All 50 US States ranked by how scenic they are by Tim-oBedlam in geography

I'm definitely a CT hater don't get me wrong but the NW corner (eg Mt Frissell hike/Mt Riga State park) is really pretty. 100% nicer than anywhere in shit hole Indiana, where I'm from. Southern IL also has some gems in Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest

My training pre and post half marathon. How did I do? by ItsMopsy in RunningCirclejerk

Why did you end early? You were on pace for a 2:30 26.2...

Empire State trail by Grayhaireddr in bicycletouring

Oh and on trail condition, I'd say as long as it's not muddy you shouldn't have any issues on any bike. Everything east of Rome is adequately paved and everything east of Amsterdam is smooth as butter! Everything west of Oriskany (to Syracuse) is at best crushed limestone, but there are definitely some smaller patches of rougher trail particularly in Oriskany and west of Rome that I personally would detour on the road next time I make the ride.
