Out for a ride before it gets too hot.

That looks like a peaceful setting. Is that a customized Cross Core? (I see the mechanical brakes).

It's a BH bike, they backed out of the N.A. market 2019. It has a Yamaha PW-SE motor though. Probably pretty similar to a Cross Core. Supposed to be a "gravel bike" which to me seems to be a road type bike with "gravel" tires.

I like it a lot, my only real complaint is that BH had the walk assist disabled, which to me is a big deal.

Supposed to get into the high 90's today but it was a nice ride this AM - that is until the front derailleur started shifting funny, then the chain came off a couple times. About 1/2 mile from home I noticed that the chainrings came loose, that's on me because I'm the one that changed them out.

Thanks for the clarification. I like the look.

Different spot on the same river, different ebike.
Supposed to get hot today also, then a cooling trend

20 miles today just to get my heart pumped up. Enjoying what is left of the natural bike paths before it all gets paved.
1st picture is a bridgeway under construction. I have been following its progress.
When it is completed it will connect with Historic Pearl Harbor Bike Path.
I will no longer take detours and ride side to side with speeding cars. It will take me right to my house!!!!!

todays ride was to test my memory ... i was shown a off road track last week , which i thoroughly enjoyed . so i went almost the same route to see if i could find it on my own ...lol it was a success ^_^ . a short but enjoyable ride and gives me an other option when cycling through Darlington... which is no bad thing . just short of 42 miles

What lake is that?

Bad start to someone's holiday weekend

On a happier note

Trail action from yesterday. A buddy and I took to the local single tracks and finished up our ride at Heritage Ranch which is generally considered the greenest (easiest) of the bunch.

What lake is that?

I think it's called round lake but I'm not sure. In sw Washington.
Most lakes in the pnw are clear but this one usually looks like pea soup. Maybe from all the fertilizer runoff from development?

@Prairie Dog . How wide are your handlebars?
On video it looks very narrow.

Bars were cut down to 760mm from 800mm as most of the single tracks I ride are fairly tight. Trees allow only so much space before they remind us who’s more resilient. This width works for my arm length, geometry and riding style. Not much if any DH around here to speak of.

Footage was shot with a GoPro Max which tends to enhance the superview effect. I use the Max almost exclusively now in my videos as it’s such a versatile format.

Mine are at 780. Thinking about 760 or 740, but not sure with 29ers

Maybe I needs to cut mine.

 

[Prairie Dog]

Wider bars will definitely give you more leverage and control especially on DH. With my reach and short stature and the fact that I ride more of a progressive trail bike, I could probably drop down to 740mm. Consider you body type and the style of riding/discipline that you find yourself more inclined towards.

I plan to go here tomorrow. See map
It's in a military installation. I still get lost here because the paths and normal routes are constantly changing. It's 7 miles out from home one way.
Blue dot is my homebase on Google maps. Blue flags are my check points.
I will be on my Bulls. Packing nothing but mini pump and tires plug for ebike essential.
My other ebike is not licensed to go on federal property. But soon it will be.

I set off to ride the Peninsula. It was just me and some very illusive peacocks and peahens whenever I try to take a picture they would run into the bush.
Thorns was not my only issue today but sticky Hawaiian mud. Enroute to Bulls sanctuary I encountered such. It looks dry but man I was wrong . Nevertheless it was a great ride. Gravel, hard pack dirt, single track all thrown into one. Borrowing @theloafer 's phrase, "I got my biking legs" a good workout. I rode around the perimeter mostly, middle of Peninsula there are mazes of trails. Last month I pedaled through there I nearly got lost.
There's a good view of dry dock 4 across the harbor you can see giant cranes, and picture of barn boat ramp. It's where landing ships would unload military trucks and munitions before they go in for repairs.
I exited by way of Waipio soccer field and it started to rain, rested under a tree drank my grapefruit juice and pedaled on towards Pearl Harbor bike path and ended up trailing behind a gang of roadies until I reached my exit and headed home for College Football. Da Bull will have to wait for a bathe.
Peninsula rides will never get old !!!!

My left ankle has been bugging me lately, so after a week off I went for a 30km ride to try and beat it into submission...
Also a skunk spewed its weapon all over my back yard last night, so GTFO sounded like a great idea...

Lazy goat... His computer has all the RAM...



Water/NUUN stop...



Heading back...



It's not easy being...



Supplies for the long weekend...



Almost home...



Yup... still stinks of skunk... dang it...
