Hi there Eric. We just found a beautiful farmhouse to renovate that seems close to where this ride took place. We are in Facquier County near the town of Orleans and can attest that for any ride, forecast 100 feet of climbing per mile. I am interested in knowing more about your route,

Thanks, Pat! It's lovely and worth working towards :) Scott — Ah, I really did mean to include this info in the ride report. I'm running the S-Ride 7speed 11-32. The max cog size listed for the Cyclone is 34 so I went on the safe side. I'm not sure about the tab extension for the 13-42 and

Amazing ride report! QQ regarding your drivetrain overhaul, of the S-Ride 7-speed cassettes, which did you choose? I also recently overhauled the drivetrain on my Sam as well from a V/O wide double to a Sugino XD2 - bash-guard / 40 / 24 with the S-Ride 7 speed 11-36. The RD is a new Altus.

Great question, John. I did indeed change the bottom bracket. I went from a 117mm to a 113mm. The clearance is pretty nuts, the chainring bolts just clear the chainstay, I can slide an index card between the two and that's it. On Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 3:14:52 PM UTC-4 John Hawrylak

Eric Great ride report. One question: Did you install a shorter BB when you changed cranks from the Sugino XD2 triple to the SunXCD double?? John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Monday, August 15, 2022 at 9:52:21 AM UTC-4 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > Shenandoah Foothills > 47 miles, 5,380 feet >

Thanks, Bob. Yes, right to roam would be lovely and could be really helpful for riders looking to stay off the bigger roads! I've heard that in some Scandi countries (forgive me for not being specific) you can camp in any open space and trespassing is defined as something like "you can get

Hi Eric, Nice photographs and sensitively written. Glad you had such a good outing. Since you've been immersed in Jobst Brandt's riding adventures, I'm certain some of your experiences would have been Jobst approved: 1. Unpaved roads 2. The climbs. Not Santa Cruz elevation but climb what you

That report makes me want to skip out on my obligations later this week and head out on a nice ride. What makes a bike trip for me is summed up by your recollection and appreciation of details of the experience usually lost to those riding pace lines, hurrying through similar locales. I'm
