Yes, feel free to PM. The C&O will bring you in to the Georgetown neighborhood in DC, and I’ll help you from there. Depending on where your sister is specifically, it might be better to jump off the C&O earlier, but that takes away from the satisfaction of official completion in DC. HMU on GART...

Just a heads up to ppl planning a 50-based route. It is not bike-legal from DC to US301. And nobody bikes US50 out to the terminal point of Ocean City, bc much safer/more pleasant alternatives exist. There are only two spots requiring any engagement with US50. 1) crossing the Chesapeake Bay On...

I just checked — the box it came in is stamped 91107.

Krikit (Gates) with low of 30lb (two hash marks below an engraved 50). $16 on eBay IIRC. Worked well.

Limp mode is exactly what you get with 503 (magnet position error). Has happened to me. Reason you get limp mode is bc the default is to assume that we’re tampering to fool the system into thinking we are at a lower speed.

Suspect it will be selectively enforced, but I still don’t plan on going to TN at this point.

I would guess it’s high-volume items that are put up, like Satiator-related. This tells me they will discount for a big enough buy. It‘s not just Grin in CA, there’s all those products in Germany and the UK. An EBR-based group that buys monthly could have some clout, but the challenge is...

If your range estimate increased at the end of your ride, it’s bc the last couple of miles were flat/downhill. The estimate is based on recent (last couple of miles) cadence and torque. I was once riding in MD’s hilly “western” shore. My eco range was 75 or so. After the Bay Bridge, I was in...

I bought this cable for $18 shipped on Amazon. Grin has an Amazon store for some of their products.

If you’re in the DC Metro, I now own a R&M Load cargo bike, so I no longer need: Burley Coho trailer, new in box, has never seen the road. Burley is out-of-stock and sellers want $500. Box was opened to check skewer size. $400. Cirrus Kinekt BodyFloat, 420mm length, 31.6mm seatpost, 2 black...

I live in the DC Metro. My original plan was a round-trip but I got a very late start. When I got to MN, I hopped on Amtrak to get to Seattle. Once in Seattle, I rode out to Olympic Peninsula and officially started my route home in La Push, WA. I did a combination of trails/road but tied to pick...

Seattle WA to Wash DC. Plenty of wind, no probs. Genasun, charging spare Bosch battery, no other option. Peak output in July -early Aug but dropped off dramatically in Sept. Biggest issues: crap tires on Nomad. Constant flatting. No theft attempts. Used motorcycle alarm, no locks.

I did this last summer — a Sunpower 110W on the Nomad rack. I did not find additional support necessary. The POS rack did not fit the Nomad exactly — my biggest problem.

sure, hitch type: Burley Steel Hitch (first picture, black) R&M part nr: VBK0017 i have a friend with a 2021 SC2 who has attached the hitch adapter/hitch w/o issue and has taken a few trial runs with his trailer. I can take pictures of mine this weekend if you’d like. Yes, that’s a 110W...

I can confirm that the hitchpost that comes with the Nomad (purchased 6/21) will work with the R&M adapter w/o interfering with the E14 shifter (which is what I have). This was using a Nevo, which should be similar to your setup as they are both hardtails. I see seatpost recommendations — I...

Rohloff Is unlikely to warranty an E14 shifter unit that has collided with a tow bar. I saw a post on their Instagram account to this effect. Riese&Mueller sells an adapter kit to prevent the interference: https://propelbikes.com/product/riese-muller-trailer-hitch-mount/ it worked fine on my...

Greetings from College Park!

So, when I got to Rosalia, I was banking on the six camping sites that were to be available at the town park. Could not find them. Next morning I was told they had been ripped out the previous week due to “transients” who come through between Pullman and Spokane and trash the place.

From DC to Steubenville, OH is complete, as is most of IA. Western half of WA is coming along. Some nice disconnected trails as well, but other sections simply don’t belong under that 52%. I think it’s obvious that they were quite generous with “complete” pretty much for the reason you state —...

I rode all of these in 2018 and again this past summer as they are part of the GART, as I’m sure you know. The problem is lack of funding. The Hennepin state park office has never been open for me. Camping fee collection was non-existent, and I talked to people who’d been camping for four days...
