Beyond Research
Cycling, the outdoors, and the occasional data question.
Outside my academic work, my main hobby is cycling, and now and then it overlaps with the day job.
I ride bikes, both outdoors and indoors on Zwift, and I try to put in 8 to 12 hours a week, though the honest average is closer to 8 or 9; a good week hits 12, but life tends to get in the way. Most of it is around Fribourg, where I live: into the hills and mountains when I want to climb, and out toward the Murtensee (Lake Murten) when I want flatter, faster roads. Off the bike, I also hike, nothing too extreme, and go for the occasional run. I log it all on Strava, if you want to follow along.
