Oh, one of my most recent and very modest triumphs, while I was filling in at Stevie's, was to be assigned a cheap and older MTB with this sort of dragging freewheel; the ticket called for freewheel replacement. I removed it and soaked it ferociously in an increasingly potent series of cleaners, t

Yes, the official ride is always clockwise. On the first ride of the year, first Sunday of June, since it's the official all-country Team in Training ride with teams coming from all over the country, they close the climb to Emerald Bay/Vikingsholm from 6:30 - 8:00 AM on the same direction, so cycli

So you rode clockwise? I've done that ride once, (25 years ago!) but I went counter-clockwise starting and finishing in South Lake Tahoe. How did you feel about the shoulder? Did you feel safe enough? Were there any sketchy sections? Bill On Sunday, June 5, 2016 at 6:53:10 PM UTC-7, René w
