Thanks, i agree. We know some people in their late 60's who had to switch to electric assit because they destroyed their hearts doing endurance.
If you find yourself in arizona, seeking areas with more road runners than humans go here. The perserve is a working ranch but the cattle are well dispersed. It offers dispersed, self contained...
No we didnt get kidnapped in baja:) i have many excuses for not updating but hope to get back into the habit of connecting with virtual biking friends. Wow, what an adventure it was, took turns that...
Hoping it will be not much different than the Owyhee Desert rides we do. 18315
HI, we may be able to help you. Have a wheelset but need to change out the rear hub. We can make you a good deal as we've had for a bit (they are new, never ridden) PM or email me at the shop...
Ouch, the dentist is my least favorite way to spend time, ever.
No way would you fit on a small in Surly world. I think you would be fine on the medium, even if you needed to tweak some with a stem or different seat post
north woods gal, I think your Krampus is awesome ;)
Our quick trip to the Owyhee Wilderness was Fun! Folks in town commenting on how hot it would be but we were at just over 6,000 feet in...
The new Krampus is such a great bike, we've sold several. I agree to a tire switch for the type of riding you do. I had knards on my ECR but now have Maxxis Chronicles and LOVE them. Not sure why,...
Yes, thinking quilts. My sleeping bag is a 20 degree bag and bulkier than I'd like for this trip, plus it will be warm. Of course going lighter means $$$. I have a Costco down blanket I have...
In preparation for our Baja Divide Trip I changed out my Surly ECR rims. These are well maintained. Fully serviced and trued by the Bike Hermit :).
29 x 50mm Surly Rabbit Hole Rims formerly on my...
I ride the Rivet Independence on my Gilles Berthoud touring bike and I have the Rivet All Road on my Surly ECR. They do not soften like a Brooks or a Gilles Berthoud. Note the underneath has the...
watched a great video yesterday on the baja divide website, he says at one point they had 26 liters of water on their bikes for two people, that is almost 7 gallons, YIKES. So far I have
2 - 40 oz...
Pinch me! I think this is actually coming together. The stars are lining up and the DH and I are moving forward with plans to ride the Baja Divide in November and December. 1700 miles of dirt roads...
shhhh, don't tell but we might actually get out for an S24O Friday! It has been such a crazy year between work and weather this will only be our 2nd time. We volunteer for the Owyhee Wilderness close...
Okay, getting political. My new favorite npr program is A1. If you can catch the recording of today's show (5/12/17) Wow, just Wow. Although I do want a t-shirt that says something like Hello it's...
I have a custom orthotic somewhere... The inserts I stumbled upon and really like are actually birkenstock insoles! As my knee gets worse though I can see my left hip dropping so should probably...
I have no excuse for jumping into this conversation so late and perhaps you've found some great gloves! I am a long fingered glove person and find a great pair at our local Farm and Ranch store!...
ahh the joys of aging... My temperature threshold is really narrow now - both cold and heat bother me. Below 68 I am cold, above 80 I am hot - I do a lot of layering :) When biking and if I am...
Ouch, ouch, ouch. Sending positive vibes your way. Accidents like that are always hard aren't they. As you noted, thankfully the little girl was okay as I expect you would be even more traumatized if...
Hi there Hartmame glad you checked in! Don't beat yourself up. Every year is different. We've had a hellish winter and talk about out of shape, yikes. Well my "beer arm" is in great shape but my...
My life has certainly been interesting lately. A few weeks back, woke up on a Saturday with plans to do some chores and finally get a bike ride in - it's been a long winter. Grabbing my coffee and...
Have been so depressed with our weather I haven't dared comment :). I rode 2 times in February which is 2 x's more than January, sigh. Spring can't arrive soon enough.
Glad to hear some of you...
:p I have a clear memory of me giving my bike a good kick after tipping over on an ungodly hill on a horrid gravel road in Big Bend National Park and then we both just burst out laughing and stopped...
