Sorry, but we had a meltdown here at the house around 11pm so it didn't get uploaded.
I read this afternoon about your adventures and the good deeds done by you and others. I always found when I was a member of the American Youth Hostles that during such bike rides, the camradre is such that no one will be lost or left behind. That seems to hold true today?
I hope it is still true. At least that is how we ride.
Quote:In my teen years, I was a pretty good bicycle mechanic. I met a lot of people fixing flat tires and broken chains and spokes on group rides.
About the broken fork on the $2K bike, was it aluminum? I am NOT a believer in the aluminum frame. The best performance and longer lasting are the titanium or the cheaper columbus 531 prevelent in the 80's.
It was a carbon fork. Apparently it was the 2nd carbon fork he had break on him. I don't think I would consider carbon after what I saw!
Quote:Reading about your trip allowed me to relive the days I did overnights and century rides. If you guys ever want to ride the KATY trail here in Missouri, let me know (Maybe some advance warning to get back in shape).
The KATY is a trail we would love to do sometime - I'll be sure to give you plenty of warning before we head down there!
