Yes, Nathan very similar bikes.

I owned a very customized 1983 Expedition similar to yours and subsequently did 
2 self contained bike tours on it of one month each back in 08 and 09. I was 
loaded up with 60 pounds of gear and supplies and 
toured with a friend who also had an Expedition.

The Expeditions performed very well for those trips.

One trip was across Nevada on Hwy 50 in July. The other was about 30 miles 
south of Denver all the way to Yellowstone National Park.

I have very fond memories of both trip. They were quite challenging but very 
rewarding adventures for me.

These vintage tourers are no Rivs but have some good qualities for more budget 
oriented builds.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[masmojo]

Paul, yes! I do a Katy Trail loop, very similar to the one you describe. You 
must live pretty close to me here in North Dallas.
I would say that my standard South Loop. Crossing 635 @ the Skillman DART 
Station footbridge, head down the Skillman Sidewalk to around Abrams, up to the 
So Pac trail, across to Mockingbird Station,  Katy Trail, etc. That's 24 to 32 
miles depending. Sometimes I cut across to Hillcrest/Forest, run down Bodecker 
to SMU, but I  dislike the part along Northpark mall, generally too many HP 
Soccer Moms.
I have been trying to use the North Haven Trail more & more, they've got it all 
the way past Marsh now and I believe they are going to link it up with a series 
of trails that goes all the way to Fort Worth.

I am planning on driving up & riding the NETT in East Texas fairly soon. 

I am afraid 40 miles is about my limit, my knees are crap.

I am Already over 300 for the month, if not for the rain, I'd probably be 400. 
Unfortunately if I am over 300 it's mearly an exhibition of irresponsibility 
and a sign I should be thinking about doing something productive. 
Leah, I sure no one here tires of your smiling face (or Clem), better that then 
my big melon head! 浪

Wow, 40 mile rides are very impressive. I have been biking daily and forgetting 
to take photos. But how many photos of my blue Clem do you really need, anyway? 

I’m at 233 miles for the month and am thrilled about it. Well on my way to 2020 
miles in 2020!

Enjoy your rides, friends!

[truegolden]

That's an impressive ride masmojo.

I occasionally will do a long loop around North Dallas to White Rock Lake, up 
the Santa Fe Trail , through  downtown,  up the Katy Trail , through Southern 
Methodist University campus and back to North Dallas for around 40 miles. I 
hope to do that later this week and that would get me 300 miles for 30 days of 
April. 

The last two days were much more modest at 4 miles each day as I rode quite a 
bit over the weekend and needed to recover a bit.

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I did 22 miles today.  I watched an interesting drama unfold alongside the 
pier.  A seagull tried to steal the bait off of a fishing line and 
accidently got hooked.  The fisherman was able to eventually trap the bird 
with a net and get it unhooked and set free.  The bird didn't seem hurt at 
all and more pissed off that it wasn't able to get away with stealing the 
shrimp the guy was using as bait.

[masmojo]

I  ride by UT Dallas all the time, but usually I  skirt the campus on the North 
side to Renner, the South along Campbell or on the East, I've  been though the 
center when my son was taking a coding class the last summer, but I'll have to 
check those trees out.

The thing with Magnolia trees is that they are a lot of work when they get old. 
My other house had one and it dropped leaves, flowers, seed pods, etc. ALL THE 
TIME! At some point I couldn't keep up! I noticed a house 3 doors down and they 
didn't have nearly as much trouble with theirs? Their tree was much younger,  
so that was probably the issue. Cut mine down 16 years ago; there's a  20 foot 
live oak in it's place now.

Set out on a 27 mile loop, but ended up doing 43! Northhaven trail West to 
Denton road, down to Maple, through the West End, Santa Fe Trail to White Rock 
& up the So Pac trail to Skillman & home! 

Borderline comatose now!

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[Roberta]

13 rides in 21 days rides, so I'm a little behind.  Today I did a 2 mile 
ride followed by a 2 mile walk.

I left on my AHH with Dyno lights because sunset was just a 1/2 hour away 
and I was planning on doing my standard 12 miles.  Well, I live in the city 
and it was windy, but the buildings helped block it.  However, when I got 
to the path away from buildings, 1 mile away, I could barely move forward 
for the wind on my face.  I turned around and rode home, then went for a 
walk, instead.

I love seeing everyone's pics and reading all these stories.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

My wife has a RadCity. It has 26" wheels and more or less resembles a 
city/hybrid/hardtail. It has a throttle button in addition to pedal assist and 
also has regenerative braking. It all went together fine and works as 
advertised, but with about 100 miles on it it's too early to say anything about 
durability. Looking at the cost of batteries, I expect the bike to be 
borderline disposable once the battery starts losing capacity. With luck that 
will be a long time.

I believe Bicycle Belle Husband's Pedego is throttle only, which is a no go for 
me but he's fine with it. The gentleman is not a cyclist, he's an "I have a way 
to ride with a cyclist" rider, which certainly solved a problem. Throttle on 
bro!

[Doug Hansford]

Thanks Masmojo for the info.  In my online searching I liked the look of Rad 
Power bikes and their reviews are mostly positive. And they seem to be a U.S. 
company that stands behind their product. The removable battery makes charging 
easier.

I've got a Radwagon & I can vouch for their value & features, they are pretty 
popular and well built as well as being one of the older Ebike companies at 
this point with a variety of models. They are also doing delivery in some major 
markets (like Austin).
I had been contemplating an Ebike & a cargo bike, so it seemed like a perfect 
opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone. 
Just got back from a grocery run to Target & back and it's ideal for those 
quick little trips to get a couple bags of groceries.

Personally, I think every household should have at least 1 Ebike; so much 
potential there to not only alter our traffic situation, but also our bike 
infrastructure.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[Leah Peterson]

Hi Doug,

He got a Pedego Interceptor - I call it the Interloper . Got it for a steal on 
Craigslist and it works great for him. It’s really beach cruiser-y though; I 
don’t know if I’d choose that particular model, but it’s what was available. 
There are so many e-bikes on the market and not a lot of them are quality (per 
the mechanic I talked to) but Pedego seems pretty solid. They have their own 
“dealerships” and there happens to be one in Henderson so that’s where we take 
it for service. Pretty convenient! I wish I had a place I could trust to take 
MY bike...

Good story Leah! I'm curious about JPs ebike. Which one did he buy? I've

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[masmojo]

I can't get anyone in my family to ride with me! About twice a year I can talk 
me son into coming along, but his "butt hurts" for 3 days afterwards. 
My wife is from the Philippine provinces where they believed that a girl riding 
a bicycle might lose her virginity so she never learned to ride and my daughter 
the former gymnast & figure skater has convinced herself that she can't ride a 
bike!
The silver lining of this cloud is I typically can ride when & for as long as I 
like. 
30 miles on a one speed Cruiser may sound like a lot, but my average speed was 
10+ mph; if I was on my Clementine for that loop my average speed would have 
been almost 1 mph slower. Why? No idea!

Everyone's stories and pictures are so inspiring!  Alas, I have no great ones, 
other that I get in 4-5, sometimes 6, rides in per week, more than I was doing 
before our current situation.  Working from home and not commuting or working 
until dark has freed up 2-3 hours of my day.  I didn't feel like a ride 
yesterday,  so I went for a walk instead.  

Inspired by Paul in Dallas' ride to the grocery store the other day, I hopped 
on my She-Devil, the perfect in - town bike, and rode to a hardware store 
across town, 4 miles RT.  The basket and net on the back was a gift of AHH 
owner who lived near me, moved to the UK, and offered it on the list.  I love 
it. 

Once I got home, that bike went into my breezeway and I took Joe Appaloosa for 
a nice 12 mile ride.  Came home smiling.

Dave, the Evasion has a fairly long top tube, so especially with a trekking 
type handlebar you need a shortish stem. This is a 60mm FUNN stem ( yeah, I  
never heard of them either); I think it's actually a Downhill stem?
The handlebars are SOMA Eagle bars, they were on sale really cheap & more or 
less what I was looking  for so it was worth a gamble! :-) I  like them in a 
general sense, but neither extension for or aft is long enough in my opinion 
AND they are HEAVY. I really love the Evasion, but you really can go with just 
about any bar/stem concert and be happy. All the builds I have seen are drop 
bars, but my set up works really good and I think an Albatross set up would be 
great and I would love an Albastash on this as well.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[Patrick Moore]

My own experience is that unless your bell is very loud -- the very large
brass striker bells that Riv sells or used to sell -- and rung early and
rung often, a surprising number of recreation path pedestrians either won't
hear or won't register what they hear. I have switched to Spurcycle bells;
these aren't as loud, though they are more piercing, and I very often have
to augment the bell with a "Cyclist behind you!!" yelled in a courteous,
comforting manner, of course. Heck, I've had oncoming pedestrians walk
toward me on my side of the road (right side in the US) and not see me
approaching until I am 25 yards away, and yell, "*Heads UP!" *or slam on
the brakes and skid the rear tire. So it's less the volume than the type of
sound; many recreational walkers and cyclists seem to take for granted that
they can wholly tune out when they are off urban thoroughfares and out of
their cars.

Yes, I find that bells are more effective and "friendly" than yelling. The

people they may not register hearing it, but then suddenly it gets through to

Sounds good.  BTW, they never hear "on the left" because they are blasting 
their headphones!  I started with a nice "ding-ding" bike bell, but they 
couldn't hear that either.  Eventually, I graduated to the Crane brass bell 
and try to ring it only as necessary.  Nice thing about that bell is that 
you can modify the volume with the force of the strike.

I am not fast either and find I don't want to be one of those riders 
screaming "ON YOU LEFT" and riding way too fast on an MUP. I will let you 
know the next time I head out that way.

Sounds like a plan! My standard ride the is the SRT from Center city.  I 
figured it would be really crowded today.  One  caveat-- I don't/can't ride 
very fast.  I hope you'd still ride your Legolas so I can admire the color    .

[masmojo]

Well, I missed the start of this challenge(?), but I've been riding a lot!
Love that Bantam!

Rode today 22miles, not a Rivendell, but one of my favorite bikes none the less.
This is the only bike I have that has a name; she's called Big Baby and I was 
riding this bike because I just got the new drip camo handlebar bag from Dark 
Realm and I am loving it, fits the BMX bars well.

I rode my Joe A. north to under the Betty Ross Bridge in phila and back.   17.5 
miles round trip.  It's not a particularly pretty ride, but the ride is ever 
changing --downtown, bike path, street, neigborhoods, MUP, etc.  I'm more

I obeyed!  8.5 miles total, into headwind on the way out. Headwind on the way 
back. How does that happen!?

I love all the plants/flowers colors mixed in with the bike photo, Joyce! I've 
noticed this combination on some Instagrams, too, I'm going to endeavor to 
notice these things more on my rides. I have a tendency to tunnel vision on the 
road in front of me, I need to look around and see more..maybe literally stop 
and smell the roses! 

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[REC]

I hope you son is ok!  Not a time to get a nail in a foot. 

The name of the thread is “30 days of biking!” and I’m  interpreting that to 
mean 30 rides in 30 days. Reality is though that I probably get 5 out of 7 
days. Work, weather, fatigue gets in the way.  When I miss a day I try to get 
on two rides within the next day or two to make up for it. 

However, what I have promised myself (and am doing )is “something” every day, 
and that “something “ when not riding  is walking.   So, if for some reason I 
don’t get on my bike one day, I will be taking a longer than usual walk. Some 
lucky days I get both. 

It’s 53* out now and my Joe Appaloosa is calling to me.

Next time I'm up there I'll get out a compass and do a quick feasibility

in there, but not likely to displace Yosemite firefall as a

Alternating beautiful sun then short bursts of snow ❄️ for 20- 30 minutes.

songwriter with so many great songs; what a loss to the music world.  

I love the idea of tree henge...will you keep checking that and let us know 
if/when it happens?

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"

Joe, I hope you do go out when you get a chance.  Exercising and biking are 
good for body and soul.

Nathan, it looks like you're enjoying the heck out of your new bike.  Getting a 
Rivendell has improved my life more than I imagined.  Looks like it will be 
like that for you, too. (Your face might start to hurt from the smiling.)

For everyone else, I did 5 rides in 5 days, although I really missed one day 
and went on two rides yesterday. My rides tend to be 10-20 miles, but my most 
common route is 12 miles.

Yesterday,  I rode to the Japanese House in Philadelphia and took pictures of 
flowering Cherry Blossoms. I'll post pics later this week.  Today, I met a 
gentleman when we both had stopped at the same place to admire the view, and we 
started chatting. It turns out that he is good friend with an old acquaintance 
of mine.  You never know what additional delights riding can bring!

Rode all 4 days but can only be credited with two (Copenhagen Wheel 
controversy).  Today’s was the shortest under 5 solo miles on a Rivendell 
Hubbuhhubbuh Tandem sans stoker.  Apparently 39 degrees is not warm enough for 
my beautiful better half on what was a rainy cloudy day.  Excited for near 60 
degrees and sunshine tomorrow will see if that promising forecast will invoke 
my fair weather spouse out for a spin.  I can’t even bribe her with ice cream 
or coffee because our local favorites are all closed due to the Chrono Virus 
Pandemic.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Joyce, your photo came through beautifully. I love how you have set up your 
Clem. The reflectors on the fenders are just so cool looking, and I love that 
bag on the rear. Very convenient! And, of course, this nurse is cheering you on 
your hip surgery recovery and so pleased to hear how well you are coming along. 
Physical therapists are some sort of magic, I’m sure you agree. 

I hope your recovery goes just as smoothly, Richard. And I hope you can find a 
safe way to involve PT. 

And cheers to the teachers who are using their stolen moments for Rivendell 
rides in spring weather! And cheers to Roberta because I love her and her zany 
idea to make up her rides for the days she misses!

These are the feel-good stories I was hoping to hear when this thread was 
started. You all are SO fun.

Thanks Joyce,Really appreciate the information. Helps me put things in 
perspective. My first post op consultation is this coming Monday and I’m 
hopeful that I’ll get limits on how much I can do. Up till now I’ve tried to be 
careful not to overdo anything so as not to mess up the surgery.And I’m also a 
bit concerned about PT because of Covid19 and being that close to a therapist. 
I’m looking forward to figuring it out with my surgeon.Thanks again,Richard

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[JAS]

I took my first gentle ride about 7 weeks after surgery.  Until then I was 
walking (lots) and doing the post-surgery exercises that had been prescribed.  
My surgeon said I could do 2 things wrong regarding activity:  do too much or 
do too little.  I chose to get physical therapy and really focus on a proper 
gait, and strength and flexibility exercises with the guidance of a 
professional.  I recommend that even though my surgeon didn’t require follow-up 
PT.  I’ve slowly added time and distance to my daily walk and have been extra 
careful not to over-do-it on the bike.  Congrats on your new hip!  I hope your 
recovery is going well.

Hey Joyce,I’m 15 days into recovery from hip surgery. About how long did it 
take you to feel comfortable to get back on your bike after your surgery?

 Leah, thanks for the challenge!  I'm going to try for 30 rides even though 
I've only been going on alternate days so I don't "over do it."  However, I'm 
far enough from my hip surgery to do a daily ride, even if it's short.  I 
missed April 1 & 2, but took off today on my favorite route.  Good luck to all 
on this challenge and remember, it's not how far or how fast you go, it's all 
about enjoying the fresh air and moving at a pace that pleases you.  
Today started with wind and rain, chilly/cold, and extra wool layers.  Mid-way 
through the rain and wind subsided and the sun peeked through the clouds.  
Here's the green Clem(entine) leaning against one of my favorite madrone trees.

I know that Carquinez route between Crockett and Martinez, that's a great ride. 
Especially the section they closed to cars (after too many landslides) and 
eventually rebuilt as an awesome bike path.

[RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[Joe Bernard]

Roberta, 

My current riding availability isn't conducive to the goal, either, to the 
point that I'm lucky if I can get 5 miles in a day and often that's not going 
to happen. Which is to say I'm out! What people call 30 Days of Riding isn't 
really a thing I can do right now and I gotta be realistic and not pretend I 
can. You all have fun!

[Roberta]

I'm in, in a slightly different way.  I cannot always go for a ride, so I 
pledge to go for 30 rides in 30 days.  If I miss a ride one day, I'll go on 
an additional ride, hopefully the day previous or the day after.

Tonight will be my second ride and I hope to see some  Cherry Blossoms in 
bloom at the Japanese House in our local park.

Rob, I've always liked that silver (gray? grilver?) and orange with blue 
stripes on your custom. A spectacular bicycle!

I am a teacher as well, and like Rob, I make sure to leave the house
everyday for a ride - an even rotation of my stable of Rivs, depending on
the ride. With my wife being a teacher as well, and both our kids at home,
any excuse I can think of to get out for a little zen on the bike is
essential. Went all the way down to San Jose the other day on the Bay Trail
and it was a complete Ghost town. The vibe up in Redwood City and San
Carlos is far less depressing. Most places are closed but almost all the
restaurants are doing to go food so that's at least something.

Joe - you may start 30 days of biking on a Frank and end on a custom. Nathan - 
that’s a lot of miles!
