I am recovering from a broken ankle so I understand your concern. I have 3 thoughts for you
First: I didn't see how old you are but if you are over 35 or have a history of hypothyroidism in your...
I live in the Phoenix area but there are a few things that are similar. Yes, it is hot in the summer but because Arizona doesn't do DST, the sun comes up between 5 and 6 AM - which is a perfect time...
Hi I saw this post and thought I would post a reply that I had put in another thread for newbie riders since I didn't see this suggestion in this thread. I got this tip I got from a sales associate...

TinM, I did do the ride but didn't get started until about 9:30 so that's why we missed. I am really excited about the progress made on the bike path. I'm hoping they will be done in about 6 weeks....

Thanks for letting us know about the ride tomorrow. Unfortunately, I think I'll do a short, slow ride tomorrow. I gave blood today and I won't have much in my tank.
But,...
hi AZ Spinner and MTKitchn - just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do the FH - RV ride. I learned a lot from both of you. Hopefully we can do it again in the near future.
