    I took advantage of a "warm" 44 degree sunny day and rode 42 miles. Yesterday it was only 10 miles at 24 degrees. Five miles of the ride were along the Airline Trail in eastern Connecticut. The trail was a little muddy but avoids a problematic highway crossing...

    It’s hard to click “like” on a scene like this but it’s a fascinating photo.

    How active were you in October?

    October started the short day and cold rainy season. I can deal with the cold thanks to some excellent @Alaskan advice but the short days really complicate my riding. Still October was decent and better than last year so I’m not complaining. (Much) 574 miles 23 rides

    2019–2020 R&M Homage : Riders' Impressions

    My Homage is set up the same as yours. Initially gear 7 was quite noisy. Noisy enough that I avoided using it. Of course that meant that I often found it was just the gear I wanted to use. Now, 3000 miles later I have to really listen to hear a difference. For me the break in was real with the...

    We are in the midst of another rainy, misty stretch of weather. I convinced Marji that we could fit in a ride between downpours. We almost made it!

    Recommendation for a Riese and Muller?

    For reference a 5'3" friend took my 49cm Homage out for a 25 mile ride. She is an experienced cyclist and enjoyed the ride. The seat post wasn't even all the way down. She found the bike stable, comfortable and easy to handle but was a bit intimidated by the size before the ride. Here she is...

    We were traveling this past weekend but came back to find the oaks putting on a quite a show to end what has been a memorable foliage and biking season.

    Enjoyed some wonderful fall foliage rides this weekend as the reds and yellows begin to fade. I recently noticed this pond on a map of the Natchaug Forest and went looking. I've biked by the road leading to it many times but never noticed it. The Still River in Eastford, Connecticut...

    50 mile ride yesterday with my colorful companions. We call ourselves the Neon Oldies. Foliage in Northeastern Connecticut is at about peak. We spent about 6 total hours riding and taking photos. A full thermos of good coffee and snacks kept us warm and energized. Fun ride. Audubon viewing...

    We had a break in the rain for a few hours so I went for a ride. I'm glad I did. The colors are changing all over and really pop when wet.

    I expect yesterday was the last ride for a while. A 3 day wind and rain storm is forecast. Hopefully some color will be left after that.

    How Active were you in September?

    September was a good month for me. We had a nice stretch of weather and I took advantage of every day. Work and weather will limit my riding until next spring so I splurged!

    We have had a string of delightful fall days recently. Yesterday Marji and her sister Bev joined me for a 40 mile tour into Monson Mass. We came across an abandoned sand and gravel operation with the huge rusted machinery still in place. Next stop was the West View Creamery where we ended up...

    Found a little more fall color on my ride yesterday. It doesn't feel quite like fall with temperatures in the low 80's in the afternoon but we also saw 38 degrees one morning this week so fall is coming.

    Homage Frame Size

    Their factory must be fully online now. My April order finally arrived in July after a 2 week delay for “paint issues” and then shipping problems. But the bike was well worth the wait. I’ve just crossed 2k miles with zero issues.

    I expect most of Connecticut is still green. This group of maples decided to celebrate early.
