[RBW] more than 15 shots for 2015...

[Meade Anderson]

Folks,

Here's a flickr album of some of my better shots from 2015.  A few
comments...I didn't seem to capture too many great shots quality wise (all
iPhone) but do have more than a few great memories, and a confession, not
all of these shots are taken on bicycle rides...a few are from paddling
trips, runs, etc.  I did a little more paddling in 2015 than in the past
few years and enjoyed my time on the rivers and bay but my cycling mileage
suffered.  (Now I did have a few days which included a morning spin in the
piedmont area of Virginia, an afternoon paddle/float & fish, and later a
stop at the rural farm brewery (Lickinghole Brewery) for rehydration, a
snack from the food truck and music...doesn't get much better.)  And there
were a few really cool rides that I forgot to take pictures like the day
that my long time pal Steve invited me on a ride around the Short Hill
range  to inspect a forest fire. That day had very high winds and the fire
was moving north up both the eastern and western flanks and towards his
property but amazingly despite the winds, all ended well with mostly burned
timber and brush over rocky terrain.

And another confession, there's more than 15 shots...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/julianmeade/albums/72157662213189129/with/22945313504/

See ya on a ride (or a paddle)

[RBW] Heat Gun to Attach Patches to Bags

[Meade Anderson]

Has anybody tried using a heat gun (paint remover) to soften the glue on
the back of the patch then pressing it on the bag?  Irons don't work well
in many situations especially if you are using them on bags such as Swift
Industries.  And yes I am lazy and am trying to avoid the needle and thread
method...

[RBW] Re: One drawback to flippin' your bike for roadside repair.

[Meade Anderson]

A stretched out old sock (or two) works wonders...can be stretched over the 
seat, used as a glove for putting a chain back on, loose tools can be 
dropped into it to keep them together and from rattling.  I usually have 
one with me and always have a couple for padding with my Bike Friday when 
packing and traveling.  (Cheap cotton gloves also help deal with greasy 
chains when pulling wheels, etc...

A group of us took advantage of the warm winter weather to do a 38 mile
loop thru Brunswick County Virginia following and crossing some of the old
abandoned rail lines that once supported this area.  We were able to catch
a 5 mile section of the Tobacco Heritage Trail that has been converted into
a great rail trail...hopefully the other lines will some day be used
again...for bicycles ...
We  had a great lunch on the campus of the historic and sadly abandoned St
Paul's College...

The links above are for my pictures and Paul's...and you will notice we
were on the same ride as some pictures are somewhat duplicative but hey, we
must  have liked the same shots and they are digital...

[RBW] Solstice Ride

[Meade Anderson]

Dan, Eric, Greg, Paul and I did a loop through western Goochland and 
eastern Fluvanna Counties yesterday with lunch at an old stage stop, 
Wilmington and coffee on Elk Island.  Record warm temperatures and dry 
weather made for a pleasant change from the often cold, damp, etc weather 
seen on the solstice...times have changed as we went by a number of closed 
country stores and at least two former stage stops before we ran across an 
open country store.  And that place is one of the poorest excuses for a 
country store I know about, unless of course your interest lies with 
Richards Wild Irish Rose and its multitude of flavors...

Bottom line, wonderful day, great ride, fun...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/julianmeade/sets/72157638898941363/
And you will see some similarities between Paul's and mine 
shots...surprise... 
*http://www.flickr.com/photos/bikecrazy-paul/sets/72157638928108024/*
Here's hoping for a few more nice days of riding before the end of the 
year...

[RBW] Gravels of Gaar...

[meade anderson]

About a month ago, Paul and I cranked out a wonderful ride thru some of the
most scenic areas on the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia.
I haven't had time to post the links or the story.I'll let the pictures do
the talking and there is some overlap between our shots (surprise, surprise,
surprise) but they are worth a quick view.  Even though I had visited this
area dozens of times over the years we managed to hit many roads I had never
seen except on maps.  It turned out to be a perfect fall day.cool, a few
clouds, no rain, changing leaves, etc

you can bolt it to the rack in two spots making it more secure.

[RBW] Pittsburgh night ride

[meade anderson]

Nice ride report.

 

The local bike club has a weekly "dinner" ride on Wednesday usually which is
pretty much year round barring heavy rain, snow, etc.in which everybody runs
lights, blinkies, etc.and there's a few of us that do our own thing with
evening after work/after dark rides with options stops on the return at
local breweries, etc.

 

Fun times.

[RBW] Dyno - SP Dynamo Hub

[meade anderson]

I see the 650B SP hub and Velocity rim on Rivendell's web site and the
description has me puzzled.  "The 650B wheel will "most likely" supply
enough power for headlight and taillight, but not for charging USB items."
Now I'm not an electrical genius but I realize these dyno hubs won't do all
three at the same time but is there any reason you cannot charge USB items
using one of the "adaptors" available during daytime riding?

 

I was thinking seriously about a SP Dyno hub for my 650B wheeled ride and
part of the reason was to charge USB gadgets on long rides and tours.  

 

Thoughts on this comment.maybe I need to touch base with the folks in Walnut
Creek.

 

thanks

Meade Anderson

[RBW] RE: [BOB] 2013 Summer Solstice - Staunton River Battlefield to Red Hill Loop Ride

[meade anderson]

Osage Orange Trees - one of my favorites, little seen these days but made
great hedges too.now an Osage Orange is a tree that artisan camping axes
should have their handles made out of.(I have a box of OO in which I keep my
piece of  meteorite.protection by the tree of steel)

 

Well to be honest, the ride was 62.99 miles.I lied about 63.it can be an
area which has lots of emotions/feelings.history, abandonment, nature,
rural, desolation.it's a very different area.the collapse of the furniture
industry and the textile mills and those goods being made over seas has
pretty much crushed the economy with the decline of tobacco.I could go
on.but hopefully it can get better.tourism helps.even bike tourism. ; > } 

 

As for the bike, that's a custom Bilenky, 650b frame, that Stephen built for
me.low trail, lots of clearances, s&s coupled, one of these days I'll finish
the details of the built.I've changed it around several times and now it
sports a set of Jitensha Studio Nitto bars which were supposed to be custom
bent.I picked them up about 10 years ago and never used them on a bike.

 

I would have loved to cranked until dark and camped another night but it was
the next to last night of the James River Batteau Festival (talk about the
retro grouches of river running) and they were pulling into Cartersville and
I wanted to catch some old time music and have a cold brew at the
landing.another river, another entire drainage basin with its own
history.though more prominent in the books.

[meade anderson]

If the Tobacco Heritage Trail is ever finished there will be some
outstanding riding throughout this area...what's missing...coffee shops &
microbreweries serving fantastic food and "other " refreshments...and more
camping along the trail areas...the potential is amazing

[RBW] 2013 Summer Solstice - Staunton River Battlefield to Red Hill Loop Ride

[meade anderson]

http://www.flickr.com/photos/julianmeade/sets/72157634266766597/

 

The ride was a 63 mile loop on the Solstice starting from the Staunton River
Battlefield up the south side of the Staunton/Roanoke River crossing on the
historic Clarkton Bridge then on to Red Hill, Patrick Henry's last home.
Red Hill is well maintained and a beautiful spot for lunch and a nap on the
picnic table in the shade of an ancient oak. Located in the front yard is
the National Champion Osage Orange tree which is amazing in itself and the
fact located adjacent to the house it survived the 1919 fire that destroyed
the original structure.  I returned on the north side of the river following
the more rural and gravel roads (and its hard to be more rural than the
southside) most if not all of which are well over 150 years old.  The final
crossing of the river was at the Staunton River Battle Rail Bridge which as
the Clarkton Bridge is open only for non-motorized traffic.  This area along
the river basin was once thriving and wealthy, now has somewhat of an
abandoned feel.tobacco is waning, the factories located in the towns are for
the most part closed, the small farms don't cut it, and many folks simply
moved away, simply a bygone era.many of the fine older homes which are still
standing and maintained are not visible from the roads.I could have and
should have taken a ton more shots.  At times I would ride for a 5 mile
stretch and never see a car or person.and along the gravel roads it was
sometimes 3 plus miles between houses.a great area for cycling but its
definitely BYOB.(bike, beer, breakfast, lunch, etc)

[RBW] RE: Ride Report - The Cicada Ride (Brood 2)...or the Hatton Ferry, Yogaville, and James River Brewery Spin...

[meade anderson]

Yup, that was 98 degrees on the computer but may not have been the
"official" temperature of the day but it was at least the lower 90s and the
first scorcher with humidity.  I had a gallon cooler filled with ice then
water.it's the only way to go.here's a picture of the set up from a ride
several years ago with the "carrying pannier".  

http://www.flickr.com/photos/39037425@N00/4851524483

As for fruit, I tried bananas but they had little effect however Paul had
some apricots and they seemed to give him the energy of Lanc.'er some pro
rider.not sure from what in those apricots.maybe it had something to do with
who is better shape.

[RBW] Ride Report - The Cicada Ride (Brood 2)...or the Hatton Ferry, Yogaville, and James River Brewery Spin...

[meade anderson]

Saturday, Dan, Paul, and I took off from historic Scottsville with a general
route plan in mind, nothing set other than to go down one side of the James
River, cross somewhere and to return to Scottsville and then swing into the
James River Brewery for a quick post ride recovery beverage.  We had hardly
gotten started but the constant hum of the Brood 2 of the 17 year cicadas
began and stuck with us all day.  The critters were humming, flying around,
and catching rides on the bikes and one even managed to get into Dan's
helmet. We ended up taking the Hatton Ferry, the last non-motorized cable
ferry in the US across the river; I had tried to catch the ferry for years
but low water, high water, not operating, mechanical or whatever and always
thwarted this river crossing.  So it was all of our first crossing at this
historic ferry and Paul even knew the ferryman, Craig.great experience and
addition to a bike ride.we crawled up the hill into Buckingham County from
the river bottom and somewhere along the way decided to make Yogaville our
destination.  The heat made us feel like we were on a pilgrimage through
India but a picnic pavilion at a country church complete with ceiling fans
made lunch much more pleasurable.  The Lotus Shire at Yogaville with its
pastel colors is always an interesting sight in rural Buckingham County and
quite a contrast to the usual local color.  We paid our respects and got an
all too brief respite from the heat and sun and then had to hightail it back
toward Scottsville because I had a dinner schedule to meet.  Well, the nasty
hot headwind we had been fighting all day didn't do a 180 on us but remained
constant, steady and strong at our backs.  We buzzed through Glenmore and
grabbed a quick break for water and calories and then hit the pavement
again.  My route hopped onto Route 20 for just a short distance but the
traffic so fairly low and the wind perfectly behind us so we opted for speed
over scenery and must have averaged about 21 +/- mph (at times much more)
most of the rest of the ride which was way above our average so far.  We
rolled into Scottsville, threw the bikes on the car and headed straight to
the best recent additional in Scottsville, the James River Brewery to sample
their finest and catch some music in their beer garden. Following are a few
shots from all three of us.at times different then at times amazingly
duplicative.   Bike content, we were spinning on a Bilenky, a Rivendell, and
a Salsa.and all wearing Keen biking sandals.

[RBW] Abingdon to Damascus - Creeper Trail

[meade anderson]

Speaking of the Creeper Trail.I was down there last week and took advantage
of an evening to ride to Damascus.got back too late (and it was Monday) to
hit Wolf Hills Brewery but had one of their fine energy drinks at the Blue
Blaze and a pizza to prepare me for the return to Abingdon.what a great ride
back in the dark.near full moon allowed for no lights riding much of the
way.

[RBW] Barefoot Friendly Pedals

[meade anderson]

I read a interesting little write several years ago on Goat's sandal setup
on the pedals but can't find it either however here's a few shots and
comments from Bike Snot, 'er Snob and more.If you look closely you can at
least get an idea of what he was playing with.I've seen better pictures too
but it maybe somewhere in one of Ride the Spine's galleries.good luck.

 

http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmuirfromsc/7265984898/

Comment from Bike Snob:  I think that guy in sandals is Goat from Riding the
Spine, in which case those sandals are actually bolted onto the pedal. I'm
not sure where that fits into the smugness-spectrum...

inded-Traveller.html

 

Funnily enough, Wright's favorite creation is currently on a trek from
Alaska to the southern-tip of South America, ridden by one of his friends, a
man that goes simply by the name of "Goat." The bicycle, lovingly referred
to as "Chupacabra," was designed to hold 200 pounds of gear on its back end
and currently has flip-flop sandals bolted to its pedals, as Goat prefers to
not wear shoes. It must be noted, Wright said, that Chupacabras are known in
Latin American folklore as demonic animals prone to sucking the blood of --
what else but goats. "I worked over a period of a number of weeks" on that
bike, Wright recalled, "a lot of late nights."

[RBW] What's the Biggest Advantage of Stem-mounted Shifters?

[meade anderson]

Has anybody tried using the problem solvers mounts as a spacer on an
threadless steerer?  Yup, you'll have to shim it but that's easy.is there
any reason it won't work?

 

Thanks

 

meade

 

Other recipients: 

If anyone's inclined to try a top tube-mounted position, Problem Solvers has
a clamp on shifter mount. Designed as 31.8mm clamp with shims for 28.6mm
tubes, and mounts Shimano shifters. I don't see why it couldn't be attached
to the top tube (assuming diameter is appropriate).

[RBW] Rivendell's/Grant's newest line of bags...proto-type spotted...

[meade anderson]

It was brought up this proto-type didn't have the near mandatory reflective
tape.please remember it IS a PROTO-TYPE and thus subject to changes.one is
free to add their own tape (and with all the new duct tape colors one could
cover the case in multi-color tape).I imagine with a drill, screws, a band
of sorts one could easily add a rigid loop for a blinkie too.

[meade anderson]

It's certainly got that look of quality and will accept beausage
gracefully.but I'm still not 100% sure it will be Rivendell's next offering
in their line of bags but nonetheless I plan on being the first in my Just
Ride Club to hang it proudly from my saddle.
