    splicing Julet 4 pin tail light cable

    @spokewrench forgive me but I’m having trouble envisioning where that cable is on the bike. It’s so close-up that I don’t know what I’m looking at. For the record, I see two damaged spots on the cable. The obvious cut, but also on the left of the picture looks badly pinched and (likely)...

    Today I rode with some friends (see pic). These guys do very well on their unassisted bikes though I try not to embarrass them. :D No, seriously, they do great. Anyway, cheers! A little over 80 miles for the week over four riding days. Just some beautiful weather. Life is good.

    Oy. You’re talking about that plank at the end of the bridge, right? What do you think? Is that to keep the cows off it? Well, 53 pounds is a haul, Charge, but I’m glad you were able to manage it. That’s significantly (20 pounds) less than my RipCurrent. I’m not quite sure how I’d have...
