Great post Deacon! My 15 year old son has started riding around tow with me. He really likes how the area we live looks so different from a bike rather than a car. We hit Target and the Fast Gas yesterday. Errandonneering is the best! Scott loves gas stations McLain -- You received this

Aye, Jim, most of my rides have no control(s), so likely qualify as (err)randonneering. Grin. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an e

i read the title to mean "err" randonneering. I applaud "errand" randonneering but I find "err" randonneering more fun. happy trails jim m walnut creek ca On Friday, March 30, 2018 at 7:02:40 PM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Hey Tom! Aye, 44s fit, at least the Snoqualmie Pass do. No idea on R

Hey Tom! Aye, 44s fit, at least the Snoqualmie Pass do. No idea on Rock n’ Roads. The 44’s are snug, so no play if your rim goes out of true, and a bit less front to rear space for shifting. I prefer the ultra supple ride of Compass. Estes is beautiful. I grew up in Ft. Collins and grew up playi

Uh, make that Rocky Mtn *National *Park. We were staying near Estes Park ("Machin's Cottages"), and drove south for a while one day just exploring, and got close enough to Pike's Peak to take in the beauty all around there. On Friday, March 30, 2018 at 9:42:58 PM UTC-4, tc wrote: > > Hey Pat

Hey Patrick, you obviously haven't told your Quickbeam it isn't supposed to be able to do what it is doing! Don't blame you though, for it looks like you both are more than up to the task. I know you really like the 38 Steilacooms and have no reason to change. Just wondering, did you ever try

Just an aside, but I do recall fondly the one time I grunted 45 lb up a very steep (coasting without braking or strong headwind will get you up to 40+ in under 1/2 mile) hill in a 67" gear at 4 mph (digit flickering on my speedo), for a cadence of about 20 rpm. On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 4:32 PM, Pat

Great fun, tho' I'll pass on 17*F and 50 mph winds. And fixed hauling 120 lb must be a new experience indeed. (What is your load-pulling gear again?) Dammit, Patrick, you are making me covet (and during Great Lent, too!) a nice, fixed, or at least ss, dirt road bike! Patrick Moore, of the Orthodo
