Up and over some hills. Bigger mountains this weekend.

Pursuing a higher self everyday (just at a different spot than usual).

Working from the border between France and Spain this week. 

That means mid-week rides are hilly to say the least. 

Aiming higher today.

Consumer crypto needs to come to mom and pop shops. 

Down in Perpignan, France and the owner of the pizza shop has been in crypto since 2018, but still uses a POS and pays LOTS of fees to the POS providers and the bank. 

Why? Because there hasn’t been a consumer friendly way to pay via crypto.

Taking the long way from Paris to Brussels for EthCC. 

How about Paris -Roubaix on day one and Ronde van Vlaanderen on day two?

Higher Cycling ↑ Challenge #1 is LIVE

A warm Farcaster welcome to my favorite pink ring bearer and my partner in crime through thick and thin in life, @panamenyc!

As seen last Saturday on a bike ride - the grand Paris metro line coming nicely 😱

Summer finally came to Paris this past weekend. Had the chance to go out for a longish one. 

Mostly roads. Some on dirt. Can’t ask for a better way to spend Saturday. 

(Girlfriend begs to differ 🤔)

Heat training on an easy day. 

Heat training supposedly helps with blood plasma volume, which is paramount for endurance performances. Full winter kit indoors during the summer with 0 fan and window closed. 

HR is supposed to stay at 110-120 range for a ride like this but body is working harder. @receipts here.

My parents said this bike is not masculine enough, but my girlfriend and I love it. 

So here it is - my favorite bike from Enrico Belle.

writers and editors are builders too 💯

The definitions of Builders are expanding, and rightfully so. 

Artists, writers, editorial, athletes… anyone who’s creating onchain and driving demand for block spaces are builders.

Working at Optimism requires a lot of context switching - governance, retro fundings and products. It’s awesome.

Receipts v2 coming soon. 🧾
