Chris, what has you wanting to try no carbs next go? I ask because I've found I need potatoes, sweet potatoes, or white rice, about a cup a day when engaging in long aerobic activity, but not everyone does. So you may need to experiment a wee bit to find what works for you. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

A couple more pics when I met up with him for lunch near the tail end of the trip. Gotta have at least one of yourself on a trip like this! Also got another angle of the rack hack he rigged up with the Irish strap. Great to catch up on the details! It sounded like a dream trip. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjK2zdag Brian Seattle, WA On Saturday, September 28, 2013 10:56:08 PM UTC-7, Christopher Chen wrote: Ride description: https://plus.google.com/103698290912864028533/posts/ZdKuyf3iX4h Pictures proved it happened, but without captions yet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumachrome/sets/72157635903695075/ cc -- I want the kind of six pack you can't drink. -- Micah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report, Part 1: Portland to Ozette, WA
Yeah, nice report Christopher! I've toured most of that area, so I'm familiar with what you talk of. I did a big Olympic Peninsula tour back in 2010 and ended at Lake Quinault. Like you, I wish I had more time to spend there. I didn't get a chance to go through Clallam Bay and then Ozette, either, though I definitely want to in the future. Interesting about the warning signs on SR 112, as there are only two ways between Forks and Port Angeles: US 101 (the main way) and SR 112/113. 101 is also pretty nasty with no shoulder, winding action, and lots of RVs for the 10 miles around Crescent Lake. They also have warning signs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/urbanadventureleaguepdx/6953959277/in/set-72157629524154041 http://www.flickr.com/photos/urbanadventureleaguepdx/6807851092/in/set-72157629524154041 http://www.flickr.com/photos/urbanadventureleaguepdx/6953963943/in/set-72157629524154041 I heard that they had the opportunity to convert the old railroad on the north side of the lake to a Rail-Trail like the Discovery Trail east of Port Angeles.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ride Report, Part 1: Portland to Ozette, WA
Whoops, a missing bit from the Forks entry: Forks to Ozette, 54 miles. In the morning, while I was checking my rack bolts, I noticed that the strut that goes from my R-14 top track to the right seatstay eyelet was cracked. I assume it must have happened two days previous, during my adventure on South Bend-Palix Rd. I guess that would explain the sounds. I fashioned a sling out of an Irish strap, and daydreamed about a big back rack. ... -- I want the kind of six pack you can't drink. -- Micah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ride Report, Part 1: Portland to Ozette, WA
I wondered about the details on that. I am thankful for Nitto's Big Back Rack even when I just run the Large Saddlesack and no panniers -- it's easy to exceed the R-14's technical limit in weight, and you add in rough road/trail, that's a lot of force bouncing around back there.
