[Daniel Rooke]

If anyone has one of these they'd like to sell I'd be happy to buy it.  I 
know they're pretty obscure but maybe someone has one stashed away.  Thanks.

Since you've obviously used that rear rack, could you (or anyone else) tell 
me what the tangs on the bottom of the top platform are for and how theyre 
used? Sorry to hijack your thread.

Hi everyone: These are two great bikes but I have too many (and am

couch cushions).  Let me know if you're interested in either of these.  I 
thought I'd spare you the description text by linking the CL ads below.  
Prices exclusive of Shipbikes.com shipping or you can pick up near Seattle.

Thanks!

As a product person - it's wild that Blue Lug is getting these frames and 
releasing them into the wild before Riv has a chance to. I know how laissez 
faire Grant is and all, but still wild.

[RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

[True Golden]

Over the years I rode in the Hotter N' Hell Hundred 14 times.

It's probably been around 10 to 12 years since I've done it.

Several years I rode it on my 1999 Riv custom before not knowing any better and 
listenening to lighter is better rhetoric and sold it.

I usually rode the 100K but 4 different times I rode the full 100 miles.

All but two times I camped the night b4 in a tent there at the hosting center.

I always enjoyed the big bike gear show during the event.

Thinking back I must have been a bit crazy to sweat overnight in a tent and 
then get up and ride that far in late August heat.

I still remember the sound of dozens and dozens of tandem riders passing in a 
group.  First time I heard those tandems coming I thought a train was about to 
run over me.

Trying the HHH now I would probably have a heat stroke and cash in my chips.

A 40 to 50 mile ride at a slow pace is about my max these days.

Heck, even back in my early 40's when I first tried it my best was only a 16 
mph average.

I recall a couple church buddies that were very fit back then went up and did a 
flat 5 hours/ 20mph avg. for the 100 and I was in awe of that.

Safe riding in whatever temps...
Paul in Dallas,
who rode 20 miles today on my
Sam Hillbourne in wonderful 60 degree temps.

Re: [RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

[Philip Barrett]

My favorite HHH story is as follows; An ex-work colleague of my wife's who 
has became a great family friend decided upon retirement to take up cycling 
for his health. His wife poo-poohed the whole idea particularly when it 
came to spending money (and she is not one to be messed with, we'll leave 
it at that). So he dug out an old 70s Peugeot from the back of the garage, 
got it tuned up & set about in his shorts & t-shirt to go riding. And 
riding he did, and a whole lot of it, then some more. Wife was still 
unconvinced but finally she relented & said if he could finish the HHH he 
could spend some money on a new bike. So on the Peugeot, in his gym shorts 
& t-shirt he did exactly that, even posting a respectable time and passing 
quite a few no-doubt gobsmacked fellow cyclists on the way! This guy is no 
quitter.

So with his weekend bike buying pass in hand he heads to Richardson Bike 
Mart & picks out a new bike. But after riding for a couple of days he 
realizes it's not a good fit & returns to the store to see what he can do. 
Whereupon he bumps into Jim Hoyt, the founder of Richardson Bike Mart (also 
the man responsible for discovering Lance Armstrong). They get to chatting 
and obviously Jim is as impressed as the rest of us with the achievements 
on the old 10 speed, empathizes with the disappointment around the new bike 
& tells my friend, that he's considering upgrading his own bike and since 
they're pretty much identical size & weight it would be perfect for him and 
he could cut a deal on it too.

Long & the short of it, my friend still puts on a couple of hundred plus 
miles a week on his "new to him" full Dura-Ace Litespeed Titanium he got 
for just under $1,000!

Re: [RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

I rode the HHH in 2016 on a Surly LHT. I got a lot of second looks, but at the 
end of the day I was still relatively fresh and free of aches & pains. A steel 
bike with a relaxed fit is fantastic for a century. I wanted to do it again 
this year but the pandemic conspired against me.

Speak for yourself. When I had a bike commute I generally saw between 50 to 100 
other bike commuters, and only one or two in lycra or bike shorts. If I get to 
ride the HHH again I plan to wear a regular sleeveless top, partly for comfort 
and partly just to mess with peoples’ heads.

Re: [RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

[Philip Barrett]

I did the race as a Cat-4 in the late-80s. I had a friend who was 
struggling so I decided to stay with him, he dropped out at about mile 65 & 
I rode the rest of it on my own. I remember my 1st thought after I crossed 
the line was "I will never have to do this f***ing thing again." Words I've 
lived by.

 Patrick, 

 My area, not for from the northern portion of Dallas County, got around 
 4 to 5 inches of snow one day and then around another inch 2 days later I 
 think it was.

 It's a massive state. 
 The Panhandle and northern parts tend to have more snow and colder 
 temps over the typical winters.

 The further south you go typically multiple inches of snow is more rare 
 although it does happen.

 Our previous record was 11 inches 10 years ago in 2011 also in February.
 I distinctly remember that storm.

 The reports I saw showed even the Houston area received several inches 
 last week.

 My understanding was it wasn't the amount of snow but the week-long 
 frigid temps and loss of power to several million causing so many 
 problems. 

 Typically when we get snow a day or two later it's all melted with 
 increasing temps.

 It's a running joke about Texas weather as Phillip alluded to that if 
 you don't like it wait a day or two and it will change.

 My wife and I rode at 70 degrees yesterday.  I was in short sleeves.

 Plus with the rarity of snow and ice many here are terrible drivers on 
 roads with either snow or ice.

 There seems to me to be many aggressive drivers not allowing for road 
 conditions.

 Also the greater Dallas-Ft Worth area
 is growing phenomenally with ever increasing traffic and demands on the 
 power grid and water resources.

 Reports indicate the area is nearing 8 million population if it hasn't 
 already surpassed it.

 Other cities like Austin, San Antonio and Houston are also experiencing 
 such growth.

 I was very blessed to not loose power but know many did including two 
 of my nieces and a good friend. 

 Paul in Dallas 

 Who perhaps within a couple years may become Paul in rural Texas.

Re: [RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

[Philip Barrett]

There's an old saying;

"If God had meant Texans to ski he would have given them snow"

To which the Texans reply

"If God had meant Coloradans to ski he would have given them money"

Those CA transplants got a shock last week! But I'm all for them, together 
we can turn this state blue.

Riding sucks here though, between a distinct lack of scenery, bubbas in 
their Tonka Toys & brutal summers it's not exactly SoCal. I always wanted 
to tell Grant when he was on a lycra rant, dude try riding in Texas in July 
in cotton!

Re: [RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

Lots of CA companies are moving to TX to flee the over regulation and high 
taxes here. My nephew is one of the CA transplants now living there. He’s in 
Flower Mound just outside of Dallas.

A friend in CO says that lots of Texans are moving into his area outside of

Re: [RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

I'm glad things are warming up. It's sad to hear of such massive and rapid
growth. Albuquerque is fortunately in far less demand as a place for
outsiders to move to, but it has still grown tremendously in the last 20
years -- we're almost 45% bigger than when I arrived in 1989. I wonder if
Zoom-type work arrangements will mean a reversal of this gravitational
trend toward huge urban spraws.

Hope to visit some friends in Ft Worth in May, so I'll be able to see the
area for myself.

[RBW] Bizarre Winter Weather

[True Golden]

Patrick,

My area, not for from the northern portion of Dallas County, got around 4 to 5 
inches of snow one day and then around another inch 2 days later I think it was.

It's a massive state.
The Panhandle and northern parts tend to have more snow and colder temps over 
the typical winters.

The further south you go typically multiple inches of snow is more rare 
although it does happen.

Our previous record was 11 inches 10 years ago in 2011 also in February.
I distinctly remember that storm.

The reports I saw showed even the Houston area received several inches last 
week.

My understanding was it wasn't the amount of snow but the week-long frigid 
temps and loss of power to several million causing so many problems.

Typically when we get snow a day or two later it's all melted with increasing 
temps.

It's a running joke about Texas weather as Phillip alluded to that if you don't 
like it wait a day or two and it will change.

My wife and I rode at 70 degrees yesterday.  I was in short sleeves.

Plus with the rarity of snow and ice many here are terrible drivers on roads 
with either snow or ice.

There seems to me to be many aggressive drivers not allowing for road 
conditions.

Also the greater Dallas-Ft Worth area
is growing phenomenally with ever increasing traffic and demands on the power 
grid and water resources.

Reports indicate the area is nearing 8 million population if it hasn't already 
surpassed it.

Other cities like Austin, San Antonio and Houston are also experiencing such 
growth.

I was very blessed to not loose power but know many did including two of my 
nieces and a good friend.

Paul in Dallas

Who perhaps within a couple years may become Paul in rural Texas.

[RBW] WTB: Brooks C19

[Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY)]

My Brooks C19 got swiped from my Xtracycle over the weekend (just the 
saddle, not the post which is Pitlock'd). Anyone have one sitting around 
they'd be up for selling? Dug out my old Abus saddle lock so this won't 
happen again...

Thanks,

Justin.
