  • Great thread idea! Here's mine: 1. Tires on fresh powder, the only sound around since it is so still and quiet you can actually hear it. 2. Bright blue skies on cold mornings, so crisp and cold it's like it was cut with a diamond. 3. The incredulous looks from your co-workers when they realize you rode to work "in this…

  • I'm running a pair of Clement X'Plor MSO (in 40mm though) on my bike that does it's fair share of gravel and love them. Great grip but loose enough to enjoy, well built and realtively high volume so when you drop pressure the ride evens out a bit. They come in 32mm in both 60 & 120 TPI. The ones I have are a second pair,…

  • Count me in for the Rule #9 challenge. It would be fun to see how Rule 9 folks are but can't think of a way to capture that. I keep track of ride temps in my home spreadsheet and if weather is especially terrible, but really don't know how to measure that against anyone else. Just a thought.

  • Met the man with the hammer when out on a long (for me) ride. He hit me, stole my water and laughed as he left me on the side of the road waiting for a pity pick-up. Learned my lesson though!

  • Deliverance country?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :laugh: That's pretty much where I live. When I get out into the sticks, there's not much around, less to walk up to and ask for help (signs that say "tresspassers will be shot, survivors shot again".) Only rules I live by with the Velominati are #5 and #9...everything else is…

  • If I'm wearing baggies (we have large temp. swings in the shoulder seasons so I need warmth in the AM and cool in the PM) I'll wear the tights under the baggies. But normally I just have tights over the bike shorts w/chamois. That said, I don't buy bike-specific tights but whatever I can find for less $$$ than…

And to cloggsy and Fran for spreadsheet wizardry too! Big thanks to everyone who participated in all the events, it's really cool to be a part of…

  • You get to work on other aspects of riding in the winter...balance when riding on ice, spinning when riding in snow, working the upper body to maintain momentum in the snow and generally HTFU by riding in freezing temps. It's about mindset. You're not going to be riding fast or far when the weather turns but it is doable.…

  • Steel is real! Only kidding. Your husband is right, the Straggler is $500 more due to the "hipster" factor of it being a Surly. There's a bit of a cachet to having a Surly in some circles. That said, they're well made durable bikes that are meant to go and be ridden into the ground as evidenced by a great number of bike…

  • I wasn't a huge fan of the timey-wimey, wibbly wobbly Matt Smith Doctor, but he did well especially considering he had huge shoes to fill. As for Capaldi, initial impressions are good. I like that he's older, more world-worn than Smith, but it's the material that will make (or break) him as the Doctor.
