Just got back from a tour. Many things learned, lots of things seen,
reflected on the important things.
My second long bike tour, I felt much better about this one than last
years, more because it was causal, nothing really planned out just
kinda going. Didn't really train for this tour but I

I looked at our forlorn Murphy Project the other day and definitely
felt a twinge of guilt. The problem is that our To-Do list just gets
longer and longer, and in terms of priority, Murphy is way down the
list.
I'll take it. Just sent you an email.

Nice pics, sounds like a fun trip.
And you went over the 150 from carp to venture, you had your legs on
for sure, great views though.

Another excellent Manny adventure!
Thanks for the photos and report.
I gotta ask,
how much weight did you gain on this trip?
The meal and food place photos made me hungry.
Cheers,

that were the case on the trains between Chicago and Minneapolis.

On your return via Amtrak, did you have to box up your bike for the

Amtrak's coastal trains require that your bike be in a box (which they will
sell you for about $10). In the Capitol Corridor, you can roll the bike on and
hang it from special hooks in the passenger cars.

My wife works at Habitat for Humanity and they have a beautiful
riv'ish bike available at a fair/great price right now. I almost
jumped on it to then re-sell, but I'm not interested in the hassle to
make a small bit of cash.
Anyway, it's a beautiful bike...original paint, TA cranks, Campy

About 10 Readers back Grant mentioned a special run of lugged
Rivendell unicycles. They were going to be made by Toyo and possibly
have 650b wheels. Maybe this was a joke? I would love to have one.
While I dont think unicycling is great transport, it is fun. It is a
totally different feeling than
I raced an Italvega back in 1980-81. It was a good sturdy italian-
style bike: Columbus tubing/Campy dropouts of course, reliable
handling, road geometry (that is, not the tighter wheelbase/higher BB
of the crit-specific bikes that became more popular in the mid 80s),
and lug work that was a
Shoreline park is fine, 4:00 is fine, or 4:30 if you need it to be
actually after 4:00. What location in Shoreline is convenient for you?
I generally enter from the Embarcadero/101 bike overpass, so I can
easily cruise from there to any where else in the park. Let me know
where and I'll be there.
So after lots of soul searching I've decided to hold off on taking
delivery of the Hunqapillar. There are actually 3 bikes that I badly
want, and I can only afford one, so I'm going to take a few months to
decide which one that will be. I have the build kit for a Hunqapillar
all set up. It will
It's useful for my particular setup to have the bottle mounts a bit lower. I
ride a 54cm frame and use Polar water bottles which are a bit taller than
standard, and I have a frame pump mounted under my top tube. If the bottle
mounts are too high, the top of my bottle hits the frame pump...so

Depending on the type of tour, my Atlantis usually gets loaded up with
20 to 35 lbs of stuff. Last summer I met a college age young man on a

I wonder about the bus portion. It would be cool if Amtrak lets you
just toss your bike in the luggage compartment on the bus.

Actually Doug thats exactly how the bus portion happened. I just
tossed my bike with the panniers under the bus. On the bus ride back
there was three of us touring so we had to take our panniers and front
wheels off. But we made it fit.
