Pumped up the tires on the Atlantis just a couple of weeks ago so they're probably just right for this ride. 3 water bottles plus groceries in the Acorn & I'll be ready to go. Looking forward to seeing the paint job on the Protovelo. dougP On Feb 7, 9:46 pm, Michael_S wrote: > the Ram is fairl

the Ram is fairly dusty still (from all the dirt trails) but I will be there BaE @ 1000am ( earlier no doubt). Nice to have a bail out option in case the body doesn't perform as expected too. That week in the Yucatan didn't help my training regimen nor did the cold I picked up down there. ~Mike O

Gentle-Folk of the Wheel, this is your friendly reminder to drop everything and get out for a ride this Saturday! Should be 70 and Sunny, so no excuses. There's a good bail out option if the mileage and or distance seems too much. Yours truly might have to consider that as I spent the last two w

I want to do this, but the distance on the highway has my head spining. Santiago Peak was the most time I spent in a car in 6 months. This one would be 200 miles each way, through LA and Orange Counties. But the mountains out there are so so cool, decisions. I may have to use this as an excuse

The JBs would be great on the 35ish miles of paved road, and don't sound like they would be a hindrance on the dirt... so dust off that Ram! On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 12:08 PM, Esteban wrote: > I think the dirt sections are relatively mellow (save for a few 50-ft. > sections with big rocks to preve

I think the dirt sections are relatively mellow (save for a few 50-ft. sections with big rocks to prevent erosion, which may have all of us walking). 35s recommended, but the jump from JBs up to those is not huge. On Jan 4, 11:27 am, Michael_S wrote: > Would Jack Browns be a good choice for this
