One of two ways, Bob, neither of which is a trade secret. Grin. Cool, quick, and easy method: set iPhone timer, toss phone in graceful ark up and ahead, catch phone*, repeat. *or pick up the pieces of your phone if you are unable to catch it. Use of a stunt phone recommended. Dull, boring, requ

Deacon Patrick, I am very curious, how do you set-up the action shots with YOU in it. I can think of several possibilities, but would like to ask the expert instead. PM me if this is a trade secret. Great pictures, as goes without saying. Thanks! Ride Safely, Beaverton Bob -- You received

Another interesting post with very good photos. Winter must indeed start up high, because Quebec City, at about the latitude of N Dakota and Minnesota, but in the Buffalo, NY snow belt, and where I did my graduate studies, doesn't, or didn't, get its first real snow until November, and often not u

Sorry about that. I typed "Deak", but you know how these spell checkers are. I suppose it's going to modify and "correct" this message, too, as I send it. On Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at 1:56:59 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Well, George, the rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated

Well, George, the rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated. Grin. And good call! Pre-bludgeoned brain I backcountry telemarked (it was just called backcountry skiing then) and loved it. Vertigo doesn't play well with sliding on snow. My theory as to why it plays with a bike is the gyroscopic

Yes, Andy, the jacket is Hilltrek cotton analogy. No laminate or coating, but an inner liner that mimics the capilary action of animal fur, taking moisture (vapor AND liquid) to the outer layer of ventile where it evaporates. Works stunningly well. Best jacket I've ever had. http://hilltrek.co.

Beautiful, peaceful. Just ahead of us out east by enough time to dust off the residual needs put to rest last spring when temperatures moderated. Patrick, is that jacket a Hilltrek? I'm interested. I'm no longer impressed with laminates and coatings. Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh On Monday, Oct

Garth: I'm hoping a delayed start to our first snow (it often comes mid-late September) means a hard, cold winter this year! Doug: If so, winter only lasted 10 minutes, which is how long my bike lay there before I took the picture. Grin. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, October 9, 2017 at 5:16

You may be safe a wee bit longer, Lum Gim Fong. Winter lands from above, and at 8-10,000 feet for most of my rides, it lands early and stays late. Good news (for me) is I'm stupid enough to love it! Ear to ear grin. Kai, I think you're seeing foreground perspective seeming to enlarge the tire.

Lovely! It's still summer (and a very muggy one at that) for at least another minute or so in NYC. Can't hardly wait for the snow to fall. What's that whopper of a front tire you have on there? Looks huge, maybe lens distortion, but from that angle it looks close to 3", maybe it's the snow thic

Cool pics, and thanks for the demonstrations that happy biking can happen in all weather. Be careful, though. In some parts you would get ticketed for even mentioning the word "Winter" before its time. Ha ha! 49 winters is enough for me! ha ha! Our Nov-March "cold" weather is enough for me. I
