Friday cycle and a vlog

I was hoping my neighbour was going to join me for the ride today, but he was working the night shift and didn't feel up to it. It's a lovely day and I had a good ride anyway. I used part of the half marathon course to make sure I know where I'm going next weekend. That means I spend even less time on roads.

My video is at DLive

Here's my route today. I may actually have got close to the maximum rate it shows for a change.

Route

You see some interesting places off the main roads like this estate of old pre-fabs.

Despite the clouds it was warm enough for shorts. You can see the train heading from Letchworth to Hitchin.

Funny weather. I don't know whether to put my plants outside or keep them in! Have a great weekend and hope all goes well for the half- marathon next week.

Cheers. I hope we are past the frost now. It's been an odd spring so far

I'm looking forwards to the long weekend. Why did you use DLive rather than one of the other live streaming platforms?

I'd be interested to know what was tracking the route of your ride. I go running most weekends but I have a Gen 1 Apple watch with no GPS.

I've found dlive just works for me. I have issues uploading on dtube. Works in Firefox, but not in Chrome.

I track with Endomondo on my cheap Moto G5. It works well apart from spurious top speed readings.

Wow. I didn't know there were any prefabs left @steevc.

Sounds like your training is going well.

Sadly I couldn't watch the video. DLive often doesn't work on my computer for some reason. 😢

You didn't miss much, just my ramblings :) There are some more prefabs up the road from us that have been done up with brick cladding.

They don't sound very appealing @steevc! 😊 I remember my auntie an uncle used to live in one when I was very young sans brick cladding!

I've not been in one. I think they belong to the council or a housing association. Probably been modernised a bit

I think I saw a documetary about them saying they were highly sought after nowdays. There can't be that many left. 😊

Cool.. how often do you do this?

I try to do it once a week. I finish early on a Friday, so I have the time for it.

Nice one... keep growing stronger

I can't believe you have chickens, are they not a pain to take care of?

Sorry to hear about old Bernie picking on you, he can be very destructive. I don't know much about him, but I always have an image of a teenager having a tantrum.

Such a pity as he could do so much good for Steemit. I have looked at some of his downvotes, and they are certainly justified, but his more recent ones seem to be very random.

Good luck with the upcoming half-marathon.

I disagree with some of Bernie's flagging, but there's nothing I can do about him. It's best to stay out of the fight. I feel flagging has uses, but it can be abused.

The chickens are easy if they stay healthy. Just feed and clean out. Get lots of fresh eggs

I intend on staying away from him and other whales. I just wanted to appreciate and eventually make some content of my own (Travel and food mainly) and not knowing much about the platform, didn't even realise he and a couple of others were downvoting me.
This all related to Haejin, and it was in fact you who convinced me to stop upvoting him. This was done with you explaining the situation and not just flagging people with no reason provided.

I hope people will realise Haejin is not their friend. He's just out to help himself. There are some nasty people here, but also lots of good ones too.

Burning all fats and keeping fit. I already downloaded the application too, starting the workout tomorrow.

You've been riding the last time of the weekend if your neighbor could join you with the ride then it would have been better if the country is now working in the knighthood, it was not possible for him to hope you did well.

I'll wait for your next weekend vlog, hoping you'll be able to go around with your neighbors in the next weekend and have a great ride.

cycling helps in exercising whole body it keeps a person fit and fine

Great way to start the day, it does not matter that your neighbor did not want to accompany you as you do things by yourself!
