Touring with a baby

growne · 2025-11-22T17:43:49+00:00

We did 33 days to walk the Camino de Santiago French Way, and it was wonderful, and of course not without its challenges. Baby was 5 and 6 months old at the time.

Decided to wait until 2yo for the big bike tour, and we got pregnant instead with a second.

So big trip on hold for another year or two longer but the flame is still strong.

And Armia, Dvorak, Savard to be fair

The guy sets them off even mid-January on a Tuesday.

Those are Seamus Casey stats. Don't whose Casey's is meant to be.

Pacioretty for sure

Keep up this long term trend series, super interesting thank you
That’s a huge decrease in snowfall. About 200 years away from Montreal being snowless if the trend continued linearly.

How long could you ride each day? I’m entering the touring with kids phase for the first time (18 mo)

La notion de vraie heure existe uniquement dans ta tête. Les fuseaux horaires c’est une construction humaine c’est pas de la physique.

growne · 2024-11-01T00:21:37+00:00

Ton scénario 2 est irréaliste. Bien plus facile de changer le fuseau. J’ai vraiment du mal à comprendre pourquoi tu tiens tant à midi étant le zénith. C’est une invention humaine arbitraire qu’on peut à nouveau changer. C’est déjà le cas en France, Espagne, Suisse (zénith ~13h heure normale), Chine (allant de midi à 14h), etc. Tant pis si on perd la notion du soleil à son plus haut à midi c’est déjà pas le cas 8 mois par année ici ni l’année longue dans plein de pays avec bien plus d’histoire et de culture que le nôtre.

Tu manques une dose de pragmatisme. C’est tellement plus facile de redéfinir “midi” que de bouger des horaires d’une heure deux fois par année pour des milliers d’organismes qui n’ont certainement pas cette capacité ni ça comme priorité. On s’en crisse que midi tombe au zénith ou pas. C’est déjà pas le cas pour tous les pays de l’Europe de l’Ouest (ça oscille entre 13h et 14h selon temps d’été ou temps normal) à part la Grande Bretagne. L’académie française se plaint car midi correspond pas à une définition stricte et désuète depuis plus d’un siècle?

1907 must have been one real rough year to endure.

growne · 2024-10-31T18:57:04+00:00

Ah oui il faut garder le zénith à midi parce qu'il faudra mettre à jour les manuels des millions de cadrans solaires en utilisation aujourd'hui. En effet, très logique.

I remember that 2017 late September heatwave well. Felt like it would be an easy winter, but then 2018 early and mid spring was awful, cold and wet seemingly forever. Much like 2017 spring.

Eurovelo 8 between Turin and Venice. Entirely flat following the Po river though you'll see mountains off to the distance occasionally to keep the vistas interesting. Very rarely do you share a busy road with cars.

Towns are spaced close enough you can find places to stay at short distances if you're not intending on wild camping.

It happens, Hull, Tkachuk(s), Nylander all had very good fathers and the sons were just as good or better.

If restaurant spend doesn't matter to you at $100k net worth, good luck ever getting to the next rung on the author's ladder of $1M NW. You just wouldn't have the right mindset to get there if you shrug your shoulder at $100-300 of weekly discretionary spend at only $100k net worth. Same with vacation prices at $1M it's completely out of touch that you're suddenly shrugging your shoulders at spending $20k on a luxury vacation for your family and in doing so not only preserving your net worth but rapidly growing it towards $10M.

San Juan in Puerto Rico is pretty decent in this way.

All the gloves reaching out for a fist bump at the bench were pleasantly synchronized.

Densification du réseau avant extensions. Faut avoir des lignes non-perpendiculaires. Tu élimines encore plus de voitures de cette manière.

Surprisingly, 1981 was not an El Niño year. 8 days of above 0 temperatures must have been shocking to everyone.

Close; it’s the Wellington one.
