My bike riding was the subject of a flattering article in the Milwaukee
Journal-Sentinel May 29. For anyone interested in reading it on-line, type in "JSOnline.com" on Google, then at the top type in "wallenfang". Not surprisingly, I was unable to copy and post it directly. Ron Wallenfang |

... My bike riding was the subject of a flattering article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel May 29. That was a great article -- it highlights your accomplishments. I also like the, "At 200 pounds, he is built solid, like a tree trunk" comment. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

I've only got about 2/5's his mileage even though I started in '88 or so. |

Ron Wallenfang A very nice - and as you say - flattering article. Thanks for mentioning it here. I must say, I always figured that you must be built like Miguel Indurian or something with the number of miles that you do in a day while on tour. τΏΤ¬ We ride the same sort of bike (hybridized MTB - no shocks) and with the same bar end Mirrycle. Did you stop by that road debris on purpose in the first picture. It *looks* dangerous. As far as riding every day - meaning in rain and all - do you worry about trying to keep your drive train clean? (I just cleaned mine, which I hate doing, installed a new chain and then found out I needed to install a new rear derailleur, so I am trying to avoid rain for as long as I can; which not too difficult in our drought ridden CO front range. I like the quiet ride of a clean machine. BTW, I saved a copy of that article to my hard drive (sans ads). -- ***************************** Chuck Anderson • Boulder, CO http://www.CycleTourist.com Sig? What sig? τΏΤ¬ ***************************** |

"Chuck Anderson" wrote in message news .. it here. Did you stop by that road debris on purpose in the first picture. It *looks* dangerous. I wouldn't have recalled the debris if it wasn't in the picture. Debris usually isn't a problem in the Milwaukee area, where the road maintenance is pretty good. Potholes are a problem in the winter and early spring, but by later spring they're pretty well filled.

I like the quiet ride of a clean machine. ***************************** I wipe off and lubricate the chain, derailleur, and brakes after those rains where sand accumulates, but am not nearly as diligent as I ought to be. One consequence is that I end of replacing the chain and rear cog on both of my main bikes every year, although they also each have a lot of mileage by then, and might need replacing anyway. |
