Going from a 46 to a 40 on my Creo completely changed its climbing personality. It’s a low cost, simple change that should be a big win for your wife. 38, 40, 42 would all be viable choices, I’d think.

That’s a very inviting logging path! Love that kind of riding.

Still at it, just not a lot to photograph till the trees get green again. Saratoga Battlefield this morning on a 60 degree sunny day, heavy rain coming for the next several days and a good 20 degree temp drop.

Okay, take the rest of the day off. Never let that thing out of your sight!

I don’t think I see a McRosie in there anywhere Dave, you ain’t done just yet Still kicking myself after 27 years for selling my McRosie

Eco or unpowered on the Creo. Makes for great range!

Yup, that’s it. My local shop had that thing on the floor for two years and every time I came in for whatever else I was doing, there it was looking at me. When Giant dropped the price all the way down to $2460 last Fall, I gave up and bought it right away as a great alternate to my Creo. Rode...

I pretty much knew I was going to buy that bike the moment it hit the shop. Color really jumps out, and I was already a big Giant ebike fan after six years with my Toughroad, now in the custody of my son. I’m working on getting it a little dirty, but it sure looks great clean! The power it puts...

Nothing blooming around here, but we got to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is part of the Erie Canal before they refill it after the winter finally ends over the next couple of weeks. Nice day for a ride. Dave from Vancouver can see that I have carefully followed his stuff transporting ideas for a...

Hey Chazmo I’ve heard a little about this trail but take it that it’s a bit of a work in progress… where is this section and does it look like that for any appreciable distance? Looks like it might rate a ride over from the Saratoga area some fine day.

The original buttons on the top tube should still change assist also, but I’ve almost never used them since installing the remotes on my 1st gen Creo. Congrats on all these new Creos showing up!

Welcome indeed. We seem to be missing a couple of highly regarded Albertans of late, so maybe you can pick up the slack! Hopefully this condition will correct itself at some point though.

OK, let’s review here… RabH has 1000 miles for the year on Feb 28… I have six. No problem.

40 degrees plus? Check! Mohawk path partially plowed? Apparently! Ain't much, especially since it turns out only three miles has been plowed and everything else is still absolute solid ice, but when we drove over it this morning, I realized right away that I could finally get my first actual...

So, the calendar rolls over yet again… what will it be this time? Will RabH decide to test the 7000 mile barrier? Will Stefan figure out a way to sneak into the Tour de France? Will Art outrun a bear? Will Dave Matthews get a Fender guitar? This place is very much about the people, though of...

Thanks, Jeremy! We dont have the big vistas that our Western friends have, but we do have excellent infrastructure and a wide range of choices, especially this close to the Adirondacks and right next door to sothern/middle Vermont. It ain’t bad. And i do love looking at that gorgeous yellow SL...

Holy smokes Stefan, nice numbers! Caught a sunny 40f day on this final day of the year, ran out and picked up a very pleasant 26 miles down in Albany county just south of here. Total for the year therefore is 3047, a bit pedestrian but it does meet my yearly minimum goal of 3000. Rainy summer...

Thank heaven, we finally got a day where the sun came out, the temp hit 50 degrees and the snow is gone, even the last couple inches that fell two days ago. Called my riding buddy and it was off to the Saratoga National Battlefield, closed for the winter to cars but plowed anyway, and today...

Wow, another killer ride, Rab! So, whaddaya think? 6500 for the year?? A nice good looking number! I learned a long time ago you never scroll past a RabH ride report. And some day, you’re going to have to have that Road e bronzed and turned into a statue!

Damn, this thread led me to the past “Winter Is Coming - Biking In Cold Weather” thread in the Similar list below, and there’s good old Richard Friedman weighing in. I find it terribly sad that he isn’t with us anymore, but am happy to be reminded this way on occasion.
