To me this is a question of time in the saddle. If I'm commuting or on a
ride up to about 25 miles, normal shorts/undies are fine (though I still
find cotton lousy due to lack of wicking). If I'm doing a longer ride,
I'll put on the padded wool shorts. It's not just the padding that helps

of increasing mileage, and can't imagine a 600/1200k yet! I agree with

hub I thought I would share my
Tim - I do 13 one-way fairly often in my long-way Seattle commute. Here
are a few things I've found that helps:
1. leave the heavy clothes at work, and don't carry your computer if you
can help it.
2. give yourself ample time, and take your time - easy to get tired out
after a few days of an hour
This is close to Randle/Morton/Packwood - could try something interesting?
It may be a bit of a ride from the train station, but if we have time, it
would be cool. Babyshoe Pass?

Nice setup, David. I love the new tape job, too! I have recently moved the
shifters to the stem on my Miyata, and like the change up. I'm using the
stacked method that Rene pointed out.

I vote red! Saddle matching is the new bag matching. I have a blue B17 on
one bike, and like the matchy aspect.

Looking to try an Imperial - black or browns, honey, etc.
I have a black B17 that has probably less than 200 miles
I'll second the zip-tie advice. I have the medium and just use 2 zip-ties
to steady it on the rear of the bag at the rack.

Amen to the moonlander, though I wouldn't want that kind of distance on one
:) I see all kinds of bikes on Randos, and I would say that the
traditional low-trail front bagger is in the relative minority, although it
is making inroads.

is
pretty easy on the Cypres-shod Hilsen. Good bits included some fast Paul
Racer brake-testing descents (worked perfectly) at about 40 mph, and a nice
single-track climb up from the Sound. The Homer can climb like a cross
country bike!

Jan and Grant remind me of old Outdoor Life writers like Jack O'Connor
who brought romance and excitement to their sport (hunting). They promote
the sport they love through their ideas and designs, but both love
different things about the sport/lifestyle. I generally love reading
everything they

Great pics. A perfect example of why I live in the NW.
Side note... it would be fun to do a PDX vs Seattle ride sometime. We could
meet in the middle and have a Riv Rumble Ramble
Happy to oblige. Just took some photos on the commute to work yesterday.

I've used an iPhone and currently have a Garmin 810. I like them both for
different reasons. The Garmin is more of a single purpose device I use on
longer rides. The main differentiator for me is that Garmin's battery life
(17 hrs) compared to the iPhone's (4 hrs). I generally have the iPhone
It's a semi custom rack made by a local Seattle builder for the Rawland
