[RBW] Re: Mt. Desert Island, ME Acadia cycling tips

[Howard H]

Erl,

The carriage roads are great. I've biked them a few times and always enjoy 
them. You'll share them with hikers and even some horse carriages and 
probably some riders on horseback. There are over 40 miles of carriage 
roads so you could spend a lot of time on them. The park loop road is paved 
and though you share it with cars I've seen plenty of bikes on it. It's 
mostly two lanes and one-way. I think the speed limit is around 30 mph or 
so.

As for roads outside the park, I think both Rt. 3 from the 3/102 split to 
Bar Harbor is going to be busy, and Rt. 102 from the 3/102 split to 
Southwest Harbor will be busy. The other thing to keep in mind is that many 
of the roads don't have much of a shoulder, which you may or may not be 
comfortable with. Assuming you're driving up, you might want to spend a 
couple of hours driving around to scope out some of the roads along the 
coast (For example NE Harbor to Sargeant Dr. along Somes Sound). 

Also, consider taking the ferry (mail boat?) to the Cranberry Islands. It's 
a quick trip, but I have no idea if they allow bikes on the boat.

I've been there many times. Contact me off-list if you'd like any dining 
recommendations.

Have a great trip!

[RBW] OT: Loosening crank arm-thoughts on cause/solution?

[Howard H]

Erl, this sounds exactly like what I experienced with my Ram last year. I took 
it to my LBS and they confirmed that the inner surface of the arm had worn and 
would never seat properly. They ordered a new Sugino left crank arm and 
installed it. I think the arm itself was surprisingly inexpensive, around 20 
bucks IIRC.

I took some really old ski gaiters and strapped them on to the albas. They

When combined with lobster gloves I'm good into the mid-low 20s for my

an inch or two I have a (too small) Raleigh MTB with knobbies I can use.

Nice Bomba! It looks like the perfect bike for the Leesburg loop (one of my

I've noticed those signs for breweries along the WOD as well, it reminds

Ashburn. So tempting.

[RBW] Re: Bike and Hatchet First Aid

[Howard H]

I carry a few 2 gauze bandages, some large (2 x 4) and medium band aids, 
and a couple of gloves in a small zip-lock bag. 

I should probably add some antibiotic ointment.

Luckily I've only had to use my kit once, when a small group of roadies in 
a tight group crashed in a pile about 50 feet in front of me on the WOD 
west of Leesburg. One of them had some nasty road rash and a bad cut on his 
finger. Nobody in their group had a first aid kit so I gave the guy a 
couple of large band aids for his leg and and also used the gauze and a 
band aid to wrap his finger. I told him he should go to the emergency room 
because of the size/depth of the cut, which I thought would need stitches. 
It turns out I was so focused on helping this guy that I forgot to put on 
the gloves (...that won't happen next time).

 Since early August I've had or have been close to others with some bad 
 luck on the bike and using a hatchet... I've been over the handlebars twice 
 and then this weekend a good friend put one of my axes (fiskars x15) into 
 his knee while splitting wood.  All's well in each case thank goodness 
 though two out of the incidents involved the emergency room and the Axe 
 wound required an ambulance.

 Prevention of these incidents is definitely worth discussion and I've 
 given each allot of thought in that regards but the recent issue with the 
 Axe really has me thinking hard about my first aid kit for the woods and 
 while on the bike...  We were lucky to have several level headed people 
 (couple of eagle scouts!) And the materials to improvise a tourniquet and 
 compression bandage.

 So as I've been pouring over trauma kits for my truck and campsite I also 
 started thinking that as a nearly every day commuter I should have some kit 
 with me on the bike just as I have repair tools for the bike.

 The things I'm thinking of so far include;

 -wound cleaner, alcohol wipes?
 -antibiotic ointment
 -sterile gauze bandages (typical road rash size)
 -conforming wrap or athletic wrap or medical tape
 -triangle bandage
 -small assortment of band aids
 -rubber gloves

 Would the following be overkill;
 -CAT style tourniquet
 -quick clot sponge or bandage
 -'Israeli' style compression bandage
 -trauma shears

 The scenario for this kit is urban commuting with professional emergency 
 responce time of 10 min or less, cell service at all times and the level of 
 training I have is relatively basic. (Scout and basic military level).  Oh 
 and it needs to fit in either a large saddle wedge, frame bag or other such 
 unobtrusive, stays on bike type location.

 What, if anything, do you guys include in your on bike kit?

 I'm still getting used to the handling and braking responsibilities for

 alot of tandem riding for the rest of this year!

[RBW] Re: GAP Trail from Confluence to Rockwood, PA

Nice write-up. I wish I could convince my wife to do a trip like that.

Thanks for sharing.

 Riv content: Two Rivendell-inspired riders, two Riv’d out Surly LHTs, a 
 large Saddlesack, a platrack, and a Slickersack. 

 This summer my wife and I are planning to ride the entire Great Allegheny 
 Passage (GAP) trail (150 miles) from Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland, MD with 
 our 13 and 11 year old sons.  Since we have never cycled the GAP, we 
 decided some real world experience would help us prepare the boys for the 
 adventure.  We settled on exploring one of the more remote stretches, the 
 20 miles between Confluence and Rockwood, PA.  On Friday afternoon, my 
 wife and I loaded our two bikes on the car and drove the three hours to 
 Confluence, PA.  We spent the night at River View Kitchenettes, a great 
 place right along the GAP Trail and overlooking the river.  After an 
 early evening walk around the town, the Trailside restaurant provided us a 
 great pizza dinner washed down with a strawberry Nestle Quick.   

 The morning came crisp and clear; it was going to be a beautiful weekend 
 for cycling.  After a delicious breakfast at Sister’s Café, we set off by 
 10am.  Leaving Confluence the trail runs consistently uphill to Rockwood, 
 PA.  The grade is gently but unrelentingly upward with little opportunity 
 for coasting.  However, we were in no hurry and spun along at a 
 comfortable, leisurely pace enjoying the beauty and quiet of the forest we 
 rode through.  The trail follows the Casselman River, and as we rode we 
 listened to the water rushing by.  The main CSX rail line runs on the 
 other side of the river and goes through both Confluence and Rockwood.  
 Freight 
 trains rolled through at least every hour.  I enjoy trains and was not 
 bothered by their presence.  In reading online reviews of lodging options 
 along the trail, many reviewers do complain about the train noise, 
 especially at night.  At times we felt like the only people for miles 
 around.  At the Pinkerton High Bridge, next to the closed Pinkerton 
 Tunnel, about half way between Confluence and Rockwood, we took a break 
 overlooking the river.  Oranges and another Strawberry Quick refreshed.  
 Three 
 and half hours after leaving Confluence we arrived in Rockwood.  Did I 
 say we took a leisurely pace?  We did pass perhaps a dozen people, a mix 
 of bikers and hikers, in the 20 miles.

 Rockwood was a welcoming place, and we enjoyed more pizza and some ice 
 cream at the Mill Shoppes on Main Street.  We then explored some of the 
 more kid friendly lodging options in town for the summer trip, while 
 waiting to check in at the Gingerbread House BB.  The BB was wonderful, 
 and we spent the late afternoon relaxing and reading on the porch swing.  
 Sunday morning dawned crisp and clear.  After a delicious breakfast at 
 the BB of blueberry French toast, we headed back down the trail to 
 Confluence.  The downward grade was a welcome relief from yesterday’s 
 ride and we covered the distance in only two and half hours.  Still 
 leisurely.

 Overall it was a terrific weekend, and we are excited to experience the 
 whole trail as a family this summer.  Pictures prove we did something on 
 a trail with bikes:

It's hard to tell, but is there any room for fenders? On second thought, 
you might not want them if you're riding in the snow. I rode out past 
Leesburg on Sunday and there was plenty of snow on the trail. It eventually 
filled up the space between wheel/fender on the Ram until I had to stop and 
clean it out.

Love the basket up front. It's so convenient and the Shopsack will fit 
perfectly.

Hey Michael, I was thinking of doing that training ride as well. You still 
have a couple of weeks to recoverhope you're feeling better soon!

My most painful ride was the last 10 - 15 miles of an 80 mile ride. I 
realized (too late) that I had not been taking enough breaks, or drinking 
enough water.

 Training for upcoming Metric Century I hope to go on.
 Went on the Bleriot.
 Rolling hills of Howard County.
 ~30 degrees and still.
 Nice ride.
 Salty roads.
 Bike felt rally draggy.
 I think I am outta shape from not riding much since the cold weather has 
 kicked in.
 Legs were killing me and I was reduced to lamentably slow speeds.
 27 miles of pain, but fun and rewarding to do the ride!

 Weird, because I just did a long ride with Tony DeFillipo and Co. about 
 two weeks ago and I felt great.

 Here are a few pics from the Howard County Fairgrounds:

 What were your most painful rides?
