I believe this depends on the person.
I know people who pack 3 weeks of vacations full of activities and are more tired afterwards, than before they departed on vacation.
And I know people who fly 3 hours to lay on a beach and come back having done literally nothing.

Personally I don't go on vacation. Too much hassle and I don't like hassle. But I'm in the countryside with a large backyard so there's that.





 >>/85563/
I like booking cheap last minutes to somewhere in Europe.
Just a week and a half unplanned taking in the sights and culture but nothing forced, a day at the beach if the mind wants it.
The happiest I've been was after a long hard working summer I just booked a trip to croatia 2 days before leaving. Was never so relaxed


 >>/85563/
Same, but no countryside with backyard.
Can't be sharted to travel, where, why would I not sleep in me own bed among me own stuff.
If I had a countryside home with a backyard, small orchard, another small patch of a unkempt, wild garden and a view?
Pshh, not going anywhere ever.







 >>/85575/
Traveling is not for everyone but this is a braindead and soulless take. You can travel without simply purchasing a manufactured experience and it is quite depressing to be so dismissive of something that can be joyful, refreshing, educational, life-affirming, challenge, etc depending on what you do.













 >>/85577/
I wouldn't mind if you could teleport me in the morning and back before sleep. I'd like to hear some late evening Tokyo but a fair bit from the city center. I'd like to live somewhere really cold for extended period of time.
But I don't like traveling, simple as, the process and the nuisance and the zero sum game of extremely familiar vs. unfamiliar which I mostly know what to expect from but just in different flavor makes me face sink. 
For the joyful, refreshing and educational, I can rely on myself to generate more than enough of it, that's what happens when you tame and rewire probable high functioning autism plus experience of an only child from a ghost family.

> "My legs were not hurting at all. I dropped myself because my heart rate was 190+ for 20 mins and I thought i was going to die. It was terrible. And it surprised me a lot. I don't know what it could be. I didn't even have leg pain, it was just the pulse.”

We 14 public holiday's, not that I care much about line going up, but it is plenty.
Besides for me, and my bong employer? I get all their "bank holidays" as well. Technically I should be at work but practically no one is around and no one checks.
Next stop, 25th of May.

Yay, I got a podium in the 20km ITT. The other guys were on proper TT bikes and the former Finnish champion Vlad MAKOGON rode this in 24:30, but I was only 2:10 behind on my road bike, so hopefully in a few years I can challenge him. Power was about 20W lower than I had hoped for, I blame not doing any kind of warmup and dogshit rainy weather (I got there ~50min before the start but then I had problems with my front brake piston being stuck so I ended up removing my brake pads to be able to ride, then change of clothes, then 5min of warmup before riding). But it was fun, will be doing more of this and hopefully I'll improve

Luckily no spoke was broken, it's all a 1 minute adjoostment but for a moment I felt like my foot is going to get cut off and I will do a superman over the bar.









alternatively do what rusbert did, get a VPN and watch it on European state television that happens to show a cycling race. of course it will be in a funny language, but world tour except for vuelta is pretty much covered and Belgian tv has the mudraces.






























































> Christophe Laporte was a member of the intended eight-man squad that, with team leader Jonas Vingegaard, will make a bid for the overall victory in the 2026 Tour de France this coming summer. The 33-year-old Frenchman suffered a tear in his quadriceps (muscle in the upper leg) in a fall and will consequently miss the Tour de l’Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the 2026 Tour de France. This was reported by Visma | Lease a Bike.

lol how many of their riders chute out of competition now

The only reason I can think of is that they signed up so send their most useless shitters with Schiffer as captain but then changed the plans because Brennan had a bad spring and they want to farm easy wins for him.
It looks so pathetic though they are literally the only team over conti rank meanwhile actual racing is happening in Hungary.

It's just szarvas. Like the town where this etappe started.
The -félék means kind/like, so szarvasfélék = "deerkind" means belong to the group of species that generally called deer. Since they are quite a few deer species. Like dámszarvas, gímszarvas, rénszarvas = reindeer
Fun fact, the name szarvas is a step-in for a taboo word, it means "antlered one". Deer was considered a holy animal, a totem, in ancient Hungarian folklore and saying the original name of the animal was taboo, so they used the description of it. Same with wolf.

> Gusts of wind up to 60 kilometers per hour. And that on top of today's stage was already grueling in itself.

> The Giro peloton has to tackle the brutal Blockhaus (13.6 kilometers at an average of 8.4%) in the final part of the stage, and a strong wind has been blowing at the top of the mountain all night and morning. Although the wind is blowing diagonally from behind, because there is little shelter on the Blockhaus, the riders could well be significantly hampered by it.

yep it's time


A note on the holyness of the deer. The town Szarvas (where this etappe started) is at the geographical center of the Carpathian Basin.

 >>/85941/
Yes. It is likely a quite ancient word, from a region where a certain type of deer lived.
