Kenilworth Square East, currently a UW Milwaukee arts building that was once a Ford Model T plant in built in 1914.

@rasterweb There’s actually a street close to me called Kenilworth that’s in a pretty nice neighborhood.

At first, I thought that was a historical photo!

I did 7 miles this morning and the hills were killing me!

@mathiasx It’s pretty nice!

@fistfulofdave I am not. I just go ride around at this point! I never really know the route ahead of time.

After a week off due to travel I had my longest ride yet… over 9 miles in about 55 minutes.

@rasterweb Is that the path of barts head and extended cigarette?

I'm really liking the lo-fi garage punk sound of Jinksie...

Did 7 miles in 45 minutes today and it looks like this…

Visit Milwaukee has a new logo so I wrote about it...

@rasterweb @Ryanteck while on the surface sure, not sure if masculine is exactly right, powerful and intense may be a better terms. Helvetica Black used everywhere, everything is loud and conveys endurance, which comes off as masculine. Internally it’s not reflected culturally. It’s a great place to work, at least how I work.

@fistfulofdave @Ryanteck I guess I’ve never thought of the brand as masculine but always considered it to be quality, solid, strong, powerful, and expensive. (Maybe those are considered “masculine” qualities by some people?)

@fistfulofdave I’m gonna go just for some of the other bands!

Got in a 5.2 mile ride this morning, including going all the way to Appleton Avenue which is probably a good place to get killed...

@rasterweb ah that isn’t the old map — at least that says whether it is a path or on the street!

This is the old bad map that I was thinking of: https://county.milwaukee.gov/County-Files/Parks-Department/Photo-Gallery/Explore/Trails/2021-OLT-parksexplorer18x241.pdf

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@mathiasx Oh yeah, I saw that map as well and it seemed somewhat useless.

Hey, longest ride yet! (Well, since I started tracking.) good ride, lots of up & down hills. So what does the route look like?

Award for longest ride.

@rasterweb Vernier calipers

(Or maybe a pipe wrench?)

I got out before 7am today so I was able to do 6 miles. I tried staying on just the east side of the cemetery this time.

@rasterweb I need to start getting outside again on my bike! Thanks for the reminder.
Maybe we can find a morning to ride together some time.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@mathiasx The Holy Cross Bicycle Club meets at 7am most mornings (when it's not raining). Or we could try something else...

Fair warning, my average speed is under 10mph and I've never done a ride over 50 minutes.

I only managed 4 miles this morning as I had to get to UPS to ship out a MIDI controller to some guy performing at Coachella.

Also please tell me that somewhere is a woman who is a coach and her name is Eleanor and they call her "Coach Ella".

@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

I did manage a 5.28 mile ride this morning before the rain. It’s been a while, felt good to get out there again. (I also reported a bunch of potholes to the city.)

@rasterweb wasn’t trying to shame or even motivate you to do more. I do it pretty seriously, 2000 miles a year. Do what works for you. Not a competition, or so I tell myself when the 25 year olds blow past me. All that matters is that you’re out doing something.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave Cheers! I am just getting started. When I started doing daily walks in 2021 I started with less than 10 minutes a day, worked up to 60+ minutes most days and sometimes more on the weekends. It takes time, but I need more exercise and so far I'm enjoying it.

If you happen to be in Milwaukee this Saturday April 6th I'll be offering a bunch of my art for "Pay What You Want" but it's also to benefit a local food pantry program.
