Yeah! That's the way to do it, Patrick. I took my kids to the local school park when there was a dusting of snow. Sleigh rides by mammoth are the best. https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/24204812649/in/datetaken/ shoji On Tuesday, February 2, 2016 at 2:13:31 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Here's today's adventure... hauling a hundred pounds of kid uphill to the > sledding hill.

Here's today's adventure... hauling a hundred pounds of kid uphill to the sledding hill. The roads were snowpacked the whole way, so no need to carry the sled. https://medium.com/@DeaconPatrick/the-horse-and-the-sled-582c6ec12558#.yu4pveh7k With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Ahh. Ha! It's all clear now. Thanks Andrew et al! It's impressive that electric assist is small enough to not be detected now. I'll stick with my built in electric assist Neurons firing, brain deciding to fall back to LCG when the going is too tough), even though my system definitely has a few shorts sparking in it. Grin. I did find it intriguing how the snow clung to the inside circumference of my rims such that it matches the look of modern aero rims. Clearly there is a low pressure zone created there that I presume the aero rims eliminate. Maybe that why I felt so zippy coming home on the road. Grin.

[RBW] Re: Crankin' through the snow...
Sorry Patrick, I was making an obscure reference to a topical development in international cylocross competition. A Belgian woman is suspected of racing a bicycle fitted with an electric motor in its bottom bracket. Many news sources covering it. Also in today's BikeSnobNYC post. And no, I'm not a fan of e-bikes. They're just a new form of motorized transport. - Andrew, Berkeley On Monday, February 1, 2016 at 12:19:51 PM UTC-8, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Andrew, what's a Belgian BB and how would it help overcome rear wheel > inertia due to snowpack? > > The vast majority of inertia was from the snow on the ground.

[RBW] Re: Crankin' through the snow...
Hi Patrick, I, too, miss your pics to Flickr. I'm glad to see them on that blog post. I think Andrew is referring to the "mechanical doping" in the cyclocross races this past weekend. (There was a hidden motor found in one of the bicycles of a U23 Belgian rider.) I could use a mechanical assist with the winter studded tires. I'm tempted (but too lazy) to swap out to my regular tires during this 60+ spell that's come over the Boston area.

Deac, I think Andrew was referring to technological doping, putting a motor in your frame to help with what your legs can't handle. http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/motor-found-in-belgian-cyclo-cross-bike-a-disgrace-says-national-cycling-coach-209504 I doubt you need it, a little extra to slog through just adds to the enjoyment, right?

Andrew, what's a Belgian BB and how would it help overcome rear wheel inertia due to snowpack? The vast majority of inertia was from the snow on the ground. When I was on plowed road, the riding was easy. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, February 1, 2016 at 1:06:41 PM UTC-7, BSWP wrote: > > That snow looks pretty well packed into the rear wheel.

That snow looks pretty well packed into the rear wheel.

Patrick: I get "crazy!" a lot too. I think we've gone soft as a people. Way too civilized. Grin. Ccanter: Absolutely! Erl: I've not had much to post, as I've just done a few rides recently when the brain cooperated. It's hopefully in an "upswing" now. If so ... more rides = more photos! Grin.
