That's a pretty good ride for feeling under the weather. I was pretty sick a few weeks ago and went on a similar length ride, it was brutal. I'm still getting over it a bit, it's not fun my nose keeps getting plugged up, i makes breathing that much more difficult.

Here's my ride from today, it was very nice out, except for the fact that it was pretty windy, which is no fun.

Yeah the last two miles were some of the worst I have been through. I had no energy left after the wind battered me. I feel like I have gone swimin all day. My body is beat up.

That's a really good ride you went on. The elevation gain is about my regular ride which is really good. Not too difficult and not too far. Just right.

Yeah... I know that feeling.

It's a good ride, probably a bit far considering it's the first long solo ride I've done in months, but I made it none the less.


I don't know... sounds like you need to start riding with the B group, you're 25-30 mile rides aren't going to cut it.

rick you could have got the 645df and leaf 22 for under 7k

mehhhhh I would have gotten an Aptus II and 80 f2.8 LS which would have been worth paying 10

is the 645 a full frame?

its a 645 camera.. with film its full frame 645... the back I got is a 1.5x crop..

Hasselblad and the RZ are 6x7 which is larger

so you 80mm lens turns into like a 125?

No, it will be wider than 80mm. The lenses are still in "35mm focal length"

That was a good jump start for you. If you can get some short rides in during the week it will help out a lot.

Yeah I won't ride too far because the temps are high 20s to low 30s with wind. Once it warms up I'll start riding further.

Yeah, it's almost to the point where I can get back to my old routine of 1-1.5 hour rides after work. Although I'm mixing running into the equation too. Ran 5k Friday, rode about 50 minutes (did a pretty crazy climb, and it would have been further but the guy I was with was having knee problems) and then lifted a bit, and then did that ride today. It's been a good weekend.

You need to revisit rule #5.

but if the backs a 1.5 crop then how is it wider

Because, I think the 645 effective focal length is like half of 35mm.

So on a FF 645 back the 80 is like 40mm I think, and then at 1.5, it's about 60mm.


I could be wrong with the ratios though.

full frame 645 is a 0.6x crop of 35mm lenses.

.6, so with your back you're at like a .9? So now much wider, but slightly wider.

Are you going to pick up a different back for your Mamiya?
