Got any examples _with_ pictures of the great masses riding their bicycles at temps below 0F? I only know about two guys who did that. One of them delivered Western Union telegrams by bike during the great depression. He didn't like it at all but had no choice. The other guy is Iohan and I am certainly not this hardco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0wAPztOO2U -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Problem is that too many Californians are moving into those places and it won't be long before they turn them into other Californias. |

Many times on the bike. Yesterday on my mountain bike all day long. Hope that's ok with you guys :-) Awesome! How's the weather? Absolutely gorgeous day yesterday. Around 60F, sunshine all day. Out of pure coincidence we happened upon the Red Bus brew pub for fuel (Pilsener in my case but they have higher octane stuff) where I could also buy brewing supplies. This is one of the many reasons why my MTB has panniers plus a loading platform. https://behindthebrewscom.files.word...458.jpg?w=1200 Just another day of Global Warming he https://www.channel3000.com/weather/...izon/990278578 Broke the record of -21F? I am quite tolerant when it comes to cold weather but there I would not ride. I rode at slightly below 0F but that's my limit. It's warmer in Minneapolis and also at McMurdo. But its summer at McMurdo. Warm breezes. Palm trees swaying in the wind. I had a great ride in dry 37F over cast with some fog in places. I was wearing my winter tights (thick and a little fleecy), a wool base layer to pay homage to my retro brothers, a Castelli winter weight slightly fleecy jersey and a vest. Wind covers for the shoes and probably too light long finger gloves. I had an earband, too. I got a little hot on the climbs and unzipped the vest, but it was otherwise perfect. Dressing right is a trick, and when you get it right . . . its the little things. -- Jay Beattie. |

Err, ae you telling us that mountaind and a MTB don't go well together. Where did I say that? Utah has great MTB trails which is why that's an area we are considering. Not St.George because I do not like big town but maybe Hurricane. Bit of a rolls-cunhardly too? No idea what you mean. If you travel around a bit you'll also notice that there are areas with large mountains but where the use on an MTB is largely prohibited. Much of the Alps in Europe, for example. So those are not areas I'd consider to move to. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Problem is that too many Californians are moving into those places and it won't be long before they turn them into other Californias. That, and many immigrants who often lean liberal once they become citizens. If we ever move again I'll make 110% sure the area has a high chance of remaining conservative as long as we live. With the last move (to California) I had no choice because it was for work. Well, a little bit of a choce in that I said I would not run the start-up if it was in the Bay Area. So it ended up being Rancho Cordova, well north east of there. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Seems to me we had a discussion that you were commuting to work on a road bike and getting flats from rocks on a dirt road. A Fuji Outland 1.5D 29er but it's usually not this clean and now has two 8" rotors: http://www.analogconsultants.com/ng/bike/Muddy4.JPG The tubes are thick thorn-resistant versions plus there are tire liners in there and the tire liners are slid into a reguar good quality tube with the valve removed and slotted (to prevent chafing). Flats? What's that? Can't remember one in years and I ride some nasty turf. A typical route he https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5cjAW_nrl4 Interestingly, low cost tires of Thai origin seem to last longest, around 800mi in back versus 500-600mi for more expensive tire. I've had pricier ones fail in the sidewalls and no tube can protect you then. I like sturdy meaty sidewalls in a tire. Yeah, they are heavy but so is the whole bike. I rather go up a hill at 1mph less but not become stranded with a blown tire out in the sticks. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
