Ride report/ first tour on Cheviot After commuting 1500 miles since October on my 60cm Cheviot, I figured it was past time to undertake a tour with it. My ride report on the credit card tour is here: https://lightofferings.wordpress.com/2017/07/23/gap-trail-july-2017/
The Cheviot of course lived up to my expectations. Loaded with a large Saddlesack on the rear and a basket with a Shopsack on the front, it was steady, quick when needed, and comfortable. My daily commute is 8 miles each way with stops about every 2 miles for traffic lights. I did need to tweak handlebar height and angle so I was comfortable for longer distances without a break. I circumvented the single set of bottle mounts on the Cheviot by carrying a bottle in the front basket and one in the Saddlesack, a workable solution. The Shopsack held my clothes and toiletries, and the Saddlesack housed tools, snacks, extra sandals, raincoat, and 1st aid kit, with plenty of room to add a tent and sleeping bag for when I camp. I look forward to more touring on this great bike! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
