We continue riding in Gulf Shores Park. They have a lot of raised walkway/bridges over low and swampy areas. I’m not sure how long this one was, maybe over a mile. This a place we took a break at a walkway and viewing area. We rode 12 miles today. Great weather for temperatures highs in...

We hauled our bikes to Gulf Shores Alabama. They have lots of bike trails in the park. We are taking fairly short rides, a little under 10 miles. This picture is through the woods.

This has been going on in the automotive world for a while and John Deere tried it recently. The logic is you own the physical object but they own the software. Most of these attempts have been shot down. The right to repair has generally been extended to the owner and you can’t lock them out...

I got into a disagreement with my dealer who said the speedometer and odometer was more accurate than the apps I use in my phone. Anybody who has experimented with knows the phones are surprisingly accurate. Just compare it to your cars speed and odometer and/or your car’s gps.

I feel mine cut out at 19.4 mph. I’ve also discovered the speedometer is off maybe 6% or so. This does add up to cutoff happening to soon.

My understanding is WASS is an independent of the GPS satellites. There are 3 of them. The issue is what your receiver is setup for, it has to be WAAS enabled. WAAS basically takes the accuracy from 10 meters to 1 meter. Years ago not everything had WAAS but now even iPhones have it. WAAS...

Stefan I’d say Jim1348 answers is correct. I’d say when you say dual GPS receiver you most likely are talking dual frequency, which as I recall is L1 and L2. I think one improvement they made is added a third frequency to the newer satellites. Why it takes longer I’m not sure but it might be a...

I see this discussed all the time. I’m a retired land surveyor and started using it in the early 1990’s. A couple of points. Originally this was designed for the United States military. Of course smart people found other uses. Until the year 2000 there was something called Selective...

I’ve had a Trek Verve +3 for three years now. To be honest I don’t think the motor has enough power to go much over 20 mph on flat ground with no wind. A tail wind or downhill would be a different story. You should have bought a Class III bike if you wanted more.

I rode 19 miles today. The farmers out in the field, this one is combining beans. I also hit 6000 miles total on my bike today. Not a particularly special number but my goal has been to ride 2000 miles a year. The bike is 3 years old but I’m about 3 1/2 weeks late in hitting my goal.

I rode 17 miles today. I picture that is becoming common in this area as the soybeans and corn are being harvested. This is a pretty small combine by today’s standards.

I did 21 miles on the roads around my house. I see a few fields of corn had been picked but didn’t see any actually working. It’s a little early and if the moisture content of the corn is too high they have to pay to dry it.

I did 17 miles today. I didn’t think to get any pictures but harvest will be going on soon for a few pictures.

I’d bring it inside. If you’re worried about a fire hazard store it in some kind of fire box.

I rode 20 miles today. I went to a couple of car dealers just to look at them and see how stupid high prices are. We got lucky and bought newer vehicles and a small diesel tractor before Covid hit. Prices are high but have come down some. A couple of pictures of a street project I did the...

Um no. In this case it was Colchester Illinois. I had to look up Sam Pilgrim and saw he was from Colchester in the UK.

I did 13 miles today, I rode to the nearby town of Colchester. The picture is where a church used to stand. It had been in private ownership for several years and was falling apart. A nearby business bought it and had it torn down.

I’ve been on hills that I lost my momentum on a couldn’t make it up. You have to stay ahead of it so to speak and shift down early and learn when to pedal like a madman.

I rode 24 miles on the roads near our house today. I rode down a stretch of gravel to take a look at this church. Small church is good shape. It almost looks like someone’s house but I think it’s still a church. It seems to be a common thing to mount the old church bell for display.

In my picture above I hook mine to a bike stand after I hoist it up by ropes. I tried skipping the bike stand once but it just swung around too much. I also took the hoist ropes off once but it helped keep the front handle bars from swinging around.
