Re: [RBW] Short rides are good
John: Your setting sounds delicious. Care to post some cycling wildlife photos, if you have them? And a photo of the Brompton would be nice. Within a few hundred yards of my door I have our riverine Bosque (green gem in high desert landscape), very rideable -- if you have fat tires for sand -- with hawks, ducks, geese, and herons, not to mention small game and plenty of urban coyotes. Patrick "Just Walk" Moore, tired and busy, and it's cold and wet and windy, so walked (briskly!) ~1.5 errand miles instead of riding. On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 11:56 PM John McClusky wrote: > I agree.

[RBW] Short rides are good
I will also add that sometimes when I decide to go for just a short rideI start feeling energized and often stretch a planned 10 minute ride to 30 or 40 minutes as its so nice to be moving why stop.

I also get to appreciate that these rides keep one more car off the road. I wish our communities had more of that relief, seems cleaner and healthier.

I agree. Errands are a great way to get pedaling out in the fresh air. Most of mine range from 6-8 miles ( hardware, grocery, the occassional doctor appt). Even my commute is only about 8-10 miles of riding on a Brompton broken up with a train ride. All these rides start and end on our gravel river trail where I constantly spot eagles, falcons cranes, goats grazing (to reduce fire hazard), and the construction of a fish ladder to aid salmon spawning.

[RBW] Short rides are good
I'm on the same wavelength as to rides. I'm right around 2000 miles for 2019 and my guess is more than half is errand running. I try to leave the automobile in the driveway and take a bike on every occasion I can. It's been years now since I decided even if it's only a mile or two to get out and pedal. When I have hours I'll pedal that long as well. Paul in Dallas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Short rides are good
Couldn’t agree more. My mantra for 2020 is going to be #focusonfun I plan to ride to enjoy it. If that’s a long ride, great. But there’s a lot of fun to be had just getting out for a short jaunt. –Eric N > On Dec 27, 2019, at 11:01 AM, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Not much to add to the title, I just wanted to say it.

Not much to add to the title, I just wanted to say it. I notice in lots of posts - including mine - a lament to ride more/longer, as if shorter rides don't count. Bollocks on that. 10 miles is good, shorter is also ok. You're outside on the bike pedaling, it's fun, you don't have to do it all day! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
