Imagine choosing to model scenarios that implicitly assume a) terraforming-scale carbon capture and permanent sequestration is technically, politically and economically feasible, while e.g. b) shifting from car-dependent sprawl to denser cities with good public and active transit is impossible.

Same! ✌️

This is a danger i'm willing to ignore. 😜 I do indeed plan the route(s) in advance and follow the navigator. Unless something super interesting pops up nearby.

Please also share your rides for us to enjoy!

Thanks, and I totally agree! This time the route was also a real sightseeing trip. I should design the routes around great sights more often.

The final 60km home was pretty tough. No wonder: 4,5km ascent and ~120km gravel roads over a total of 370km. I didn't quite break the 400km threshold I was aiming for, but considering everything I'm more than satisfied. There's always the next time! 😎😅

To finish this thread off: I had the next break at 312km visiting my friend's summer cabin. The whole trip started to grow on me and the final kms were pretty slow. But it was worth it.

The nights shift is done and what an adventure it was! Abandoned mines, creepy forests, moose, elk, bats, fox, Finland's most beautiful tree and forbidden places (🤡) to name a few things. 219/4xxkm.

109/4xxkm. Feeling great! Looking forward to the night. 🌕

What s miserable day. I beat the fatigue of the night, but immediately after our started raining. After 4 hours riding soaking wet I called it quits at 331/435km. Ah well. Next time!

208/435km. Last few hours have been rough but the breakfast place in the sun feels fantastic.

121/435km. It is 1am and still going strong. I've been missing night time riding.

75/435km. Coffee in Mäntsälä. I managed to find myself in quite the copse on the way. 😅 Feeling fine so far.

This looks super interesting. Unfortunately we don't have institutional access to the journal through my university. Would you be able to share the paper or link to a preprint?
