    A message to the angry spandex brigade!

    OY! :mad: I was having a shitty day at work filled with nonsensical bureaucracy and mad ramblings by senior execs ... then I read this thread. OK, the world is a better place :)

    Road Riding in the Dark - Questions

    Because of family and work I have limited riding time and now that it gets dark by 5:30 or so, I ride early mornings. I begin at 5:30 AM to 6:30 AM and do about 15 miles on the road. It may seem overkill but I have: • Blinky on seat post • Blinky on vest • Reflective vest (it says...

    Length of trails

    ... and this seems the most appropriate time to point out that elusive tidbit, that 800lbs gorilla no one is comfortable speaking of, that tiny little painful fact that hunters have those loud boom sticks that throw these lead things at fluffy little critters very very fast :getsome: Alex

    Millstone Park next to Charleston Springs Golf Course on 524

    Hey, thanks for the trail maps for both places. Clayton really seems like a nice place. According to Google's distance measuring tool, the entrance to the park as per the leaflet is 8.2 miles from my house so 16.4 miles round-trip plus a couple miles in the park, sounds very reasonable to do...

    hello to all. new guy from sayreville, nj

    Welcome! Riding with one's offspring is a blast. Can't wait till mine are older. My 3 y/o is one of those adrenaline tasting competitive little ones who can't wait to get a proper bike but for now is just around the block riding. Good luck!

    Millstone Park next to Charleston Springs Golf Course on 524

    Sunday 9/26/2010: Left my house for my usual weekend early morning 10 miles around Millstone. Ventured to the park next to Charleston Springs Golf Course and decided to try the mainly equestrian trails. Well, they seemed a little narrower than what I would have expected for horsey trails but...

    Garmin Edge 705 - Need Feedback

    More questions ... Wait ... two more questions: A cadence monitor is not a feature you'd need on a mountain bike I assume? Road bike yes, but I don't see the need for it as cadence is not something we are looking for to maintain? Am I correct here? Also, maps, I assume you can download...

    Camelbak Tip

    Wow! I had visions of me looking like a mad scientist trying to clean the reservoir while being given odd looks by my family. A relief indeed. Thanks !!

    Camelbak Tip

    Sorry, have to slightly resurrect this thread, just a smidgen ... So I can put my empty Camelbak reservoir in the freezer after a ride, empty of course, and leave it in there in lieu of buying silly brushes or actually making an effort to clean that thing? Really? I mean I get the mold is not...

    Garmin Edge 705 - Need Feedback

    Thanks for all of your responses. I have been doing more research on the 705 and it absolutely loks like the way to go. I have owned Garmin and Magellan units before, although not for this purpose, the battery life and reliability of Garmin units is quite impressive. My main concern was...
