    Creo 2 - Road Spec now finished

    Damn, that is a hell of a good looking rig! I do love my Creo, was able to get out today in very unusually warm weather for these parts.

    Creo rear thru axle spinning out

    Duly noted on the Loc-tite, Mike. I'll have that axle and the threaded part on the frame looked at.

    Creo rear thru axle spinning out

    Anyone seen this? Last fall I finished a ride and when I picked the bike up and put it on the car rack, the rear wheel came loose and lodged right up into the frame. The thru axle had spun right out of the threads and when I put the bike onto the rack try the axle fell right out. Never saw that...

    Finally, a decent day and an opportunity to use it. Got out for the first time in a month to a sunny 45 degrees and a very happy 30 miles. The next two days are more of the same, and then the cold and more snow come back again. It’s been either frigid, snow covered or both for four weeks around...

    NH ebike trail ban bill.

    My brother has a house right on the Northern Rail Trail near Enfield. Omer and Bob’s is a very popular Specialized dealer close by in Lebanon and there are a hell of a lot of ebikes on that trail, ridden by mostly middle aged types and old bastards like myself. I’ve ridden it many times and...

    Thanks! We’re in a bit of a cold snap currently - 18 degrees this morning, and no end in sight for at least a week. The Creo is sitting in the garage wondering what the hell happened, but the guitars are getting a lot of use.

    Oh my gosh, I love those last two shots of the whole outfit lined up and ready to go. Now THAT looks like a truly good time!

    That might work! I’m super impressed with the hill work you put in. As usual, the views are gorgeous. I guess if you’re huffing and puffing up 20% plus it’s good to have something nice to look at.

    Got 20 very windy but enjoyable miles in yesterday, but late in the day the weather pattern started changing and now the temps are going way down and we’re looking at the first real good snow event tomorrow. My Creo is leaning against the snowblower in the garage, and I have a feeling I know...

    Captain, I’d love to keep seeing pics of what you’re up to.

    No great photo opportunities today, but I was able to get out on the Champlain canal for a shortish ride. An actual snow event predicted for Saturday night, so I’m going to try and get out in the meantime if I can. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a picture of the sign:

    Well, we took a bit of a pounding in 2023. Richard Friedman (Alaskan) and then Alan Hicks are gone and missed by many of us. Dave Berry stepped off the stage over a year ago, whereabouts unknown… the hugely popular Dallant has been missing in action for a couple of years now. There are others...

    Just saw this on Reddit. Not a super strong selling point.

    The transition

    I was so enthusiastic about and ready to buy an EV until I got one for a loaner for two weeks while my car was getting a warrantee repair. The EV itself, a Hyundai Kona, was a really nice car, fun as hell to drive. It doesn’t weigh much and has the usual ton of EV torque so it would chirp its...

    Holy cow, that Norco is some piece of equipment! But “wait for slightly colder temps”? In Alberta? Not something I find myself saying too often 😎 That said, it’s been way too warm around here and was pushing 50 today (10 Celsius up there on the wrong side of the border). Given that, I was...

    Creo at 5000 miles

    Thanks Joe! Hope to get a few more anyway, partly so I can get back down to Charlotte and ride some more of the Greenway system down there. How’s the infrastructure in the Triangle?
