PBP, twice, completed each time. 2007 - Blue Rambouillet, rear rack with rack trunk. 2015 - Rodeo with Blue Accents, front rack with Gilles bag. Both bikes rode very well for the whole distance. 25s front and rear, Schmidt hub. Also completed the Crater Lake 1000K in 2014 on an Orange

One of the cool things about long rides is discovering what you can do under bad circumstances. So if you ride 12 hours in the rain you discover that you can do it which gives you confidence next time you're out riding in the rain. I knew it won't Fiero riding in the rain and whatever

On a light note, I cannot help but think of stories of yore , like "when I was a child we used to walk 10 miles to school each way, through driving rain, frozen wind blown sleet stabbing your eyes, sub zero temperatures, and umpteen feet of snow which we blazed trail through". Of course,

Well, that certainly leaves me safe! But this: Our Paleolithic ancestors did lots of walking, with occasional sprints, but not extended running. They would run long enough to escape the

Several years before I owned a Rivendell I discovered that long hard days in the saddle just wasn't for me, that was also before I discovered Brook saddles and handlebars above the saddle, so discomfort was part of the experience. Of course no use trying for more now that I realize that long

OK...100km once on my allrounder and a couple of 85 km outings; similar longish miles on my road. 85 km is my max comfortable distance right now...but when I retire, maybe that will increase I'm impressed by all you mega-milers...intellectually the brevets appeal but not sure I could handle

50 or so miles for me, a short-haul, wimpy sort of rider. But it was hilly and windy! And all in the (at the time) 75" gear! Recently: 30, also hilly, also fixed, but used the 67" uphill and the 76" downhill. Long ago: 3-4 hour rides up toward the Rift Valley, fast in the big (48t) ring on my

Might well be of equal value, but it's pretty unlikely the riding after 200 continuous miles would be "the same" as riding 30 miles especially because of the condition. On 11/11/2016 07:56 AM, Garth wrote: About 2-1/2 hours, 30 some miles I guess. Not that this is any better or worse
