Lovely! Husband is on board to bike there next year, probably a regular bike, though. Getting the 13 year old daughter on board will be harder.

2018 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Unfortunately the over 600 balloons didn’t ascend this day because of high winds. But it was worth every mile to bike there. I have GOT to find a prettier trunk rack.

After at least a 10 year hiatus in riding (because of hills and wind)I did my first 20 mile ride this weekendin a decade. There were a lot of headwinds and it was still fun. I could’ve put it on turbo, but didn’t because I wanted to challenge myself. I got plenty of exercise but wasn’t...

I downloaded the app Map My Ride for my phone and iWatch. I used it once so far. I can start, pause and stop it from my watch. The app tracks where you rode,speed, the elevation, HR, and some other stuff. It was easy to use but also easy to forget to pause it when you get to your destination. It...

Day 2 work commute- It’s impossible to arrive at work grumpy when after the first turn from my driveway I see a zebra- shaped hot air balloon floating in the crisp blue sky. The exercise ring on my fitness tracker watch, which rarely exceeds 10% of the goal, has reached 210% of the goal 2 days...

Day 2 of riding. Electra handlebar mirror is useless. It jiggles out of place. Returning it this weekend.

No one *needs* the iWatch. But it sure is handy once you get one. No regrets. I have the iWatch 3rd generation. I haven’t validated the data from the watch with a bona fide heart rate monitor. Seems accurate enough though, based on my perceived level of exertion.The “exercise” ring on the iWatch...

The verve+ was on my shortlist. I’m impressed to hear all you’ve overcome. See you in the next 450 miles!

I obsessively read reviews and educated myself on the batteries and motors, decided which of those I wanted and went from there. There was really only one out of three shops I went to where the employees showed any evidence of knowing the product. The shop with the Stromer had it perched very...

In all my New Mexico travels, although I’ve seen plenty of roadrunners, I’ve YET to see a single anvil.

Green. But sometimes I get tired of it. Am I allowed to say that outloud? I want to bike there sat. but we usually do the Park and Ride. If weather holds out I might bike there the following weekend for the mass ascension. I’m hoping next year at this time the family will want to bike there too.

? that’s fantastic! I never thought of pinwheels!

Hello! I LOVE bike touring. Went across a few states on a tandem, a hybrid, and a road bike. Then I stopped riding because we moved someplace where I literally could not make it out of our neighborhood because of hills. I used to feel like I had something to prove, to challenge myself. Now I’m...
