Long time without updates, so it seems it does not make sense to remember the whole year, so I will limit this update to summer only.
Work and Projects
I’ve stopped all my side projects for the summer to focus on the cycling activities, while the weather allows me to do it. On the work results, good, we started some new experimental projects, that almost finished, but not yet in production. And looks like after such activities, I may call myself an expert in the fintech solutions. Maybe makes sense to create some educational videos or maybe a short course about implementing different payment solutions in games and other projects.
Cycling Results
As summer started pretty latter this year and the first month was rainy and cold, in July and now in August, I am trying to close all my cycling goals.
I wanted to achieve the title of “Super Randonneur”, which means a person who finished a series of brevets of 200, 300, 400, and 600 kilometers. I’ve successfully ridden 200 in April, also it was hard to finish 400 in June, but I’ve done it. Also, I tried riding 600 in August, but failed with it. I’ve set my record of 450 kilometers at once, by the way.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time in this season to repeat 600, so riding 300 also does not make a lot of sense. I need more training for such long distances. I did almost nothing and just rode 200 and 400 because I have a not bad body. But it is not enough. So, the goals will be shifted to the next season.
These two warm (I hope) months I am going to spend on small traveling rides, about 100–150 kilometers, just for pleasure.
