Yeah, Mack! Lovely video, I especially liked the alley footage, we spend lots of time meandering about alleyways foraging for fruit so that resonated. Also nice to put a face to a penpal, here's to many more enjoyable miles this year, looking forward to the other seasonal updates :) jared On

Good stuff Mack. Love to watch vids of someone just riding because they love riding their bikes. There's an over abundance of racer vids and talking head youtuber biker vids already. On Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at 11:36:28 AM UTC-4 penne...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi people, > I have been on a smal

I don't know why Grant took you up that steep road when he knows there is a lovely gently sloping single-track that takes you up to the top of that ridge! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and st

You're right, Mike, using the LCG is one of the secrets to climbing. The other, as Hugh mentioned is standing and using body weight, letting the bike move beneith you. What I do is stand till I can't, LCG (lowest common gear) till I can't, then use climbing rope. Haven't gotten to the climbing

Deacon, -- the secret to climbing is ... ? In the handbook it say's to stand up and rock back n forth, by the looks of Manny' pic's the other secret apparently is to get off and push which IIRC you have mastered both. Cheers, ~Hugh On Monday, August 12, 2013 4:10:27 PM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick

I should add that the main technique I've learned from Grant on climbing hills, I learned from chapter 4 of "Just Ride." Works great for loaded touring bikes, though with my vertigo, it took me a year to get rather than the 10 minutes he suggests. I'm a slow coach. Sardonic grin. With abandon,

I took off work at 4PM on solstice and rode home. Ate a PBJ and filled the water bottles on my favorite bike, then headed out at 5PM for my first over&back of the Colorado National Monument. http://www.nps.gov/colm/photosmultimedia/index.htm The east side climb was in the sun with temps in the low
