Pro tip: maybe don’t go for a ride when there are multiple active wildfires within a 20 mile radius and the mountains and hills you can usually see with perfect clarity are almost invisible in the smoke. Or do, if you enjoy coughing and hate your sinuses.

Uh time for another military move next summer and Petaluma, CA is at the top of my list. Seems like awesome cycling, but….you guys sure seem to get a lot of fires. Coming from New England and now DC, am I overreacting or is it something to consider maybe not putting on my list? Pros : biking, weather, food Cons: smoky, unbreathable air with a chance of mudslides?

Fire season is only about Generally homes in-town are safe from fires, it's the outlying buildings that are at risk every year.

Pretty stoked on my current cockpit setup. Decided to go full Rockgeist because I liked the idea of their spacelink attachment system and it's working well thus far!  I know the thread isn't a fan of phone mounts but this Rokform one I've been using owns and I'm happy with how this 180 degree USB-C setup came out. Did my first longer solo ride in a while yesterday and had to explain to a motorist that stopped to see if I was okay that I was just taking stupid photos lmao  Doing my first week long tour down PCH with a homie in a couple weeks and am excited to drop out of society and exist in the saddle for a few days.

Eh we’ll see-trying to short tour based on promotion but they might tell me to gently caress off and keep me in DC another year. Only thing I’m worried about, besides my house burning down and insane cost of everything, is the infamous Sonoma aroma, but it can’t be that bad? Never been there, just been to Yorktown more times than I can count. nwin fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Aug 8, 2021 |

From the latest Rivendell newsletter:quote:Here's an example of what [the supply situation']s like now: They found the last known NOS Nexave derailleurs and bought them all, which have a resting position in the big cog instead of the little cog. Can't imagine it'd work well with any brifter where everything's gonna optimized for releasing cable on upshifts. But there must be fellow weirdos that appreciate it as much as Grant Petersen does https://www.rivbike.com/products/rear-derailer-shimano-nexave-rapidrise?_pos=1&_sid=56fd1350d&_ss=r Finally, a subtle lil brag quote:Trail was a hot topic a couple years back and came up in phone conversations at least once every two days. There's a great article, written by John Schubert, in RR 37, that lays it all out there as plainly as possible if you've heard about trail but aren't quite sure what it is. I like that he measures it in inches. It's here on pages 24, 25, and 26.

If you're fine with your phone on the bars run it. Its your device! Post more about your ride on PCH. I've ridden it countless times on a moto. Cycling it would be epic. Getting motorists to stop and ask if you're ok should be the goal for every photoshoot  Albinator posted:In a perfect world - Motorist: I'll have what he's having...

Living in Petaluma will set you up for all sorts of awesome riding, whether its going to Napa and Lake Berryessa, or heading over to Valley Ford, deciding to go to Bodega Bay and Jenner, looping back through Guerneville, or if you want a fun gravel day, going to Old Caz Road. Lots of random little hills and what not and most of the locals are relatively friendly. Its an awesome place to be and I'm intensely jealous.

Rode my first (metric) century yesterday! Got a flat a 90km, but managed to find a remove both a piece of glass and a metal splinter from the tire, swapped in my spare tube, and finished up the ride.

nwin posted:Uh time for another military move next summer and Petaluma, CA is at the top of my list. I don't think the area around Petaluma has burned, IIRC it's not quite the right mix of chaparral to be really dangerous, it's more farmland/grasses than that scrubby tree and underbrush mix that is dangerous. Smoke happens but it's not all the time, at least for now not super familiar with Petaluma really but you should be close enough for plenty kinds of biking in interesting places

I threw a cheap mud guard and a cheap rear end saver on my bike. Tried it out in the rain yesterday and the sides of my thighs got very wet. Not sure if it was a problem with the rear fender or the mud guard on the front. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X5ZK6Q/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RVKY8V2/ Which one of these is most likely the problem that I need to figure out a replacement for? I'm thinking probably the rear needs to be way closer to the wheel. I won't be able to fit regular fenders without changing my tires and I have a rack that will limit how close one of the seatpost mounted ones can get to the wheel.

waterproof over shorts are great but inexplicably hard to find to the point where you might have to take a pair of scissors to some waterproof trousers.
