Maybe 6 months ago... and just for fun I put a 50mm Big Apple on the front
of my AHH. It barely fit (no fender). I did not try the rear, but I think
it's possible it would have fit.

Thanks Ron for the discount code. I have been riding in cold weather now for 25
years. I have lived most of that time in the mountains, but now live in Bend
Oregon. I have not been payin' attention to the newest and coolest technical
fabrics. I appreciate your advice on the wool.

Really? I would like to hear more about that.
I sometimes have terrible knee pain in my left knee but have always chalked
it up to the fact I sprained it 15 years ago and it just flares up. If I
can find a natural, non-doctor/drug way of alleviating the pain, I would
love to.

In my personal experience and that of many others eliminating grains,
veggie oils, and processed foods eliminated issues of inflammation. Helped
a lot of others as well. Also, in my experience, eliminating those from my

So bummed I couldn't make this. What a beautiful day. I'll have to figure
out where Clapstop Butte is and go check it out.
I'm off the next two weekends so maybe some of us can get together for a
Sunday morning ramble one of those weekends. Now is the best time of the
year to ride Dixie Mtn.
Sierra Trading Post is a great place to shop indeed. As I do not wear wool,
I have found med. weight long underwear bottoms of Comfortel (very soft
cotton like polyester with some lycra) to be outstanding. I've worn them
for years and am amazed they still have them !!
They have them in
The following items are spoken for:
1) Dynamo wheel.
2) Supernova light.
4) Handlebar bag.
6) Icebreaker wool t-shirt.
7) Brooks team pro saddle.
Still have the threadless and Technomic Deluxe Nitto stems.
Threadless stems (11 and 13cm) now $30 each.
Technomic Deluxe now $40 shipped.
As noted, that was a previous year's ride. Rob (our RBA) has just
submitted the 2014 calendar. If you are interested, you should join the
SFR which will put you on the email list for announcements. Joining is
free.
And, I'm NOT going to try to tell someone from MN what weather is like, but
When does the Indianapolis charter do their rides? I'm located in fountain

I rode on a different SFR 200k with a gal from Minnesota. She complained
how hard it was to dress for a California brevet. In Minnesota it's easy,
check the temperature and put on the right clothes. In California you are
very likely to see a 40 degree swing throughout the ride.

A few thoughts:
Youth has no inherent aversion to endurance events, as youth is thriving in
ultrarunning events, though it is true that developing the aerobic system
requires a willingness to not go as fast as I can (a good general formula
being not to go over 180-age beats per minute per Phil
I think most of the younger endurance racers are into off-road rides. The
avg. age of riders on events like the Tour Divide is in the early 30's.
Gravel racing is another area where younger riders have found their
calling. Long pavement rides just seem more monotonous compared to the

Do you climb in big gears?

operate when you pedal with the foot forward of the arch.

Standing is no problem; no knee pain no matter what the gear or slope. But
sitting and torquing is the danger.
I just don't feel comfortable with Arch Over Pedal Spindle; it feels
artificial. Note that this has nothing to do with No Retention -- I know of
one man, not much my junior, who smokes
I don't arch pedal, but rear forefoot and outer midfoot pedal, if that
makes sense. When I do sit and torque (for rear traction), no knee issues.

So, perhaps we're much the same -- pedaling just behind the ball of the

David,
I rode a SH 56cm @ RivHq and it fit me really well. Unless there was a huge
difference between the center pull Calipered SH's it seems a 60 cm would
fit you? That's a nice price and with that stable of spare parts you have...
