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

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

I took some really old ski gaiters and strapped them on to the albas. They don't insulate much, but they do keep the wind from getting to my fingers. When combined with lobster gloves I'm good into the mid-low 20s for my commute. Don't have any snow tires for the Sam, but if it snows more

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
