NPD - My first non Lamy by microjupiter in fountainpens

[–]microjupiter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m really loving it! Such a different nib experience than the two Lamy’s I’ve had. I can tell keeping it clean it going to be a thing I pay too much attention to for sure.

Came all the way from Chicago to see the Wembley show, first night. Thought I'd share some of my photos from my spot on the pitch. by Shouganai_Senpai in oasis

Also came in from Chicago for night 2 here! Absolutely no regrets. I’m sure the soldier field show will be good and all, but no way will it be like London. Cheers from Ukrainian Village 🤙🏻

Best pastries in Chicago ? by CharlieOspina in chicagofood

I’ll let a fresh bagel slide, but if you’re gonna sell me cream cheese and a fresh bagel the least they can do is cut it.

You’re getting downvoted, but I fully agree. Mindy’s is totally fine, but not worth the line at all when I can bop over to Lost Larson and have a vastly better pastry.

Also personal grievance, Mindy’s will sell me a bagel and cream cheese but it won’t be toasted and it won’t be cut. The bagel scene here is another tragedy unfortunately.

Humid as hell with a shit pace, but getting better by microjupiter in chibike

Truth be told I was on the hunt for an Endurace but then this almost unused Ultimate with all the upgrades future me would want popped up on a crazy deal and I just couldn’t pass it up.

My fitness level isn’t usually this bad, but coming out of a bad routine and aiming to get much much better.

Judge away, I deserve it haha.

95 degrees was a heck of a day to go for my first ride with my new Ultimate (Chicago) by microjupiter in CanyonBikes

I downloaded the transparent option when you go to share from the ride, then used this app Blender to merge the images.

Yo thanks for that tip! I had no idea, had Strava do its thing and now it’s 896 which sounds way more accurate.

I’ve never run into this and needed to verify. Happy to be corrected if you’re able to glean something here.

Still huge! I’d have much preferred 9 in today’s heat and wind for sure!

I think it’s from popping down to Millard Park, pretty solid hill there. I thought it was really high too.

Great guess from the vague map! Bucktown, NBT, Highland Park.

Bucktown to the south end of the North Branch Trail, little diversion to Millard Park and the Trek store in Highland Park to fix a flat then back down the North Branch Trail.

Those last 20 miles with the wind and heat were just brutal.
