Popular Post bikeman564™ Posted August 12, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted August 12, 2017 148 miles. One day ride across Michigan. Included 2 deluges, thunder and lightning. And bbq and beer at the end. Loved riding it with bike club Chick. We're in Bay City Michigan for the night. Now more beer and hot at the holiday 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_photog ★ Posted August 13, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 13, 2017 Can't say exactly. The ride home from the show was 28.2 miles and I am estimating I rode about 5 or 6 miles on the show grounds. Salsa Fargo pulling the trailer. 34 miles won't be far off. About 15 mph on the roads on the way home (just under 2 hours) and walking speed while at the show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 13, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 13, 2017 That is an epic day. Well done. I set out for. 60-70 mile day, but when I had 2 flats in the first 25 miles, I called it a morning and headed for home. I am totally impressed. I don't know if I have a one day 148 mile ride in my legs 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smudge ★ Posted August 13, 2017 Popular Post Share #7 Posted August 13, 2017 I rode a bike!! Put flat pedals on the Roubaix. At first I rode like a peg leg pirate; I couldn't make a full pedal stroke. After a couple miles the knee started loosening up, and I could pedal with both legs. It wasn't pretty, but I was pedaling! I think about 11 miles. @Randomguy was right; the brace kept catching on the bike. But I worked around it. Good times! And now I'm on the couch with ice on my knee. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post petitepedal ★ Posted August 13, 2017 Popular Post Share #13 Posted August 13, 2017 I went to the Irish fair and walked around a bit with my friend who was volunteering. We watched Border Collies herd sheeps And looked at stuff we couldn't afford. I came home after a stop at Menards looking at shelving for a closet. A short Nap after a late lunch...Then I walked at Como park,Something like 19,000 steps for the day. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted August 13, 2017 Share #20 Posted August 13, 2017 About 20 of coasting. Rode a black diamond and didn't crash. I only skipped about 2 big features and a couple foot dabs. Last time I rode it, I walked a bunch and crashed 4 times. Progress. This line is scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
