Beautiful bike, Toshi.
My AHH frame arrived today and I'm starting to put it together.
What bars and stem are you running?
Are those Hetres tires with fenders? If so which fenders?
Thanks.

It sounds like you had a wonderful adventure. One thing I am always
interested in is the bike setups you guys use for those long rides: bags,
racks, lights, etc. Any more pics of how that Homer was equipped?
Thanks for the pics.

Impressive feat, from where I sit tweaking my bikes and doing short
rides... Maybe one day I'll ride 40 miles again...

After a couple of rando events under my belt I now understand the major
rule about any rando event.
When it comes to the experience of the actually event in the end the
mileage doesn't matter.
One of my buddies when I first embarked on these types of ride told me
something that stuck with me e
Congrats!! I'm looking to do my first populaire later this year on my new

Too funny.
Indeed, this is why I put a beef jerky outer sleeve on the left side of
that little brevet bag I make. No joke.
And yes, I too have been dropped by everyone, on every type of bike.
Good job Manny,

Congratulations--and thanks for sharing your photos and the nuggets of
wisdom gained in your quest! "Understand the wonderful healing properties

I benefited greatly from applying Phil Maffetone's "Maximum Aerobic
Function" (keep your heart rate at or below (180 - age = MAF). His "Big
Book of Endurance Training" was very helpful. I now run up mountains far
more easily because I have a solid aerobic base.

On Monday,
I can say from experience that you don't need long training miles to finish
the ride if you have some good intensity in your training. What you just
can't train for is to figure out what your body is going to say about the
food you are eating on the second day of a 600k. I got a little sour
stomac
Manny,
Thanks for the info. I am not one that likes training.
You seem like a daily, riding-for-fun, non-trainer also, so I was wondering how
you prepared.
I did a metric century and a 75 miler last year based in my 12 mile round trip
commutes for "training" and it worked out fine, except my kn
Beautiful pictures! And congrats on finishing a 300k!

Well ridden. Well related.
Keep it rolling!

Congratulations, Manny! That sounds and looks like an epic ride!
Going long distance is a whole other beastie than the 40-60 mile range
(distance can be deceptive, as terrain and road/trail conditions can make
10 miles be like 40 on pavement). My longest ride on my Hunqa is 70 (so
far) with 3 m
@ Michael
Training? I don't think I really made an effort to plan my riding to make
it liable for any training. My "training" varied from doing my commute to
work twice a week to doing hard, fast and short rides over the weekend. But
in terms of mileage don't think I did a ride longer then 60 mi
You go, girl!

Wow Manny. You competed all 300K? That's quite an achievement. Looks
like a lovely ride.
