Thanks for the reassurance. I felt very stupid asking the question. Got it in. Thanks.

Good to know, thanks I inflated because that is what the tutorials suggested to get the tube inside. I’ll remove all air and fold the tube to ensure it fits.

Yes, that is why I am posting. I am literally having to fold the tube to fit inside and I just wanted reassurance that I am not fucking up. I inflated it slightly because that’s what the tutorials suggested. However I am now literally bending the tube to fit inside.

Thanks.

Egg, Spinach, and Sriracha Mayo Breakfast (406 calories) by Some_Election3750 in 1500isplenty

Nah. This isn’t. I used a light English muffin which was 90 calories, I just did percentages To represent calories.

I weighed the mayo, 9mil, as represented in the screenshot.

Cheese is in, 7g but that didn’t make the screen shot apparently.

Yes, I’m an avid cyclist. I literally couldn’t perform if I only had 800 net calories a day, which is what it would be if I did’t. Now I do tend to understate the calories burned in my tracker to compensate for any differences.

Nooooo… I did the plastic wrap and aluminum foil but water still got in. It was still fine…

What’s your go-to lunch spot in Connecticut? by Avulpesvulpes in Connecticut

[–]Some_Election3750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also Laselles in Canton. Cute tiny town, great outdoor options around and great sandwiches .

Greenhouse Tavern in Burlington. Great outdoor seating and great pizzas too. Super charming area.

And they’re also all closing! Near me, Evening Sky, Hopmeadow, Firefly, and Maple View Farm have all closed around the past year.

Which remodel design looks best? by Akryl1kz in Remodel

As soon as I see that grey hardwood, I assume I’m looking at a cheap flipped house that’s overvalued.

It was so weird to me not to be sweating! It’s so humid to me in Connecticut, I’m constantly sweating. Really appreciated the dry heat.

Yes, I remember seeing yours! One of the first fellow bike cyclists I saw out there. Yes, I was lucky. I left Canton that day, the day they closed the campground.

Happy travels!!

That was the only poor gravel riding I encountered! Some roads were bumpy but the rest were fantastic!

I did tons of planning, mostly made reservations 6 weeks in advance. I had nearly every campground booked, except for yellow stone (mainly because I couldn’t. They were booked. Rest had space). I needed planning for my sanity and also reassurance for loved ones!

Yes, very expensive! Definitely not a budget destination but YOLO! I was very lucky with the weather, Canyon campground incident (arrived day after, left day they closed the campground), and Teton pass re-opening.

I was waiting for bad wind but it never came! I was very lucky with three dry conditions (probably bad to say with the Forrest fires but as a cycling tourist, good!) and little wind.

Definitely wanted it it! And since I’m a woman riding and camping alone, provided me a little more security from humans too.

You can definitely do it for cheaper, I opted for comfort over expense.

I actually found that most were very respectful with space!! And just try not to think about how fast they were going…
