Fine shots of the St John River and the bike looks right at home. Judging by your posts you seem to thoroughly enjoy riding your Volt Bravo. Our neighbors have the exact same model only in white and just returned home after a trip to Salmon Arm, BC where they rode the Greenways.
You're in good company Dave as my better half tells me that I usually have one or two bolts loose. Maybe that's what makes me so cranky!Another couple of shortish rides this weekend (10km and 25km).
Uh oh... on my way home today my cranks would not turn! I was at the very south end of 120th St/Scott Rd. I immediately came to a stop to take a look.
And then I see this...
Hmmm... That ain't good! The lower rear motor mount bolt is almost out, and that's what my crank hit.
I put the bike up on the makeshift bike stand and pulled out my tools. The bolt needs a 4mm hex key, OK no problem, but... Rats! I'm missing the nut for the other side. Ugh...
Welp... the plan WAS to head down a steep path from that location and take the trail through Watershed Park. This incident changed my mind and I stayed on the road instead.
Stopped at the local Pickle ball court for an inspection, and to finish my water. The bolt shifts location a bit but stayed in place...
My suspicion is that my recent dropper post installation requires dropping the motor, and that the tech forgot to torque the bolts after.
Off to the LBS ASAP!
What a beautiful, serene experience! Your gorgeous kayak brought back fond memories of my ocean kayaking days on the central California coast and Lake Tahoe. Verboten now for medical reasons, but would love to take it up again now that we're on the SoCal coast.
Beauty! I haven't biked that yet.
Do it while you can. I heard they're trying to open again in August but from the look of those fairways I have my doubts.
Coastal SoCal is crawling with spectacular golf courses — 4 within a few miles of my house alone. Obscene waste of water and fossil fuel to maintain them in my book — especially in a semi-arid region with a tenuous long-term water supply.
We haven’t paddled the briny going on five years now so our outings have been limited strictly to local waters but it’s no where near as exhilarating as a seaside destination. We’re hopeful that we too can, once again, dip out paddles in ocean waters when our hopes and dream of some day moving out to the west coast come to fruition. Until then, I’ll jealously envisage your Cali lifestyle through your images and text.
Stunning footage on both the bikes and the kayaks, those shoulders were so rough but the views were just out of this world!
The rough shoulders can be a bit challenging on this stretch of Hwy 40 and cyclists are often forced to ride on the side open to vehicular traffic as we obviously were. Riding with a Varia/mirrors installed is a must as some motorists show little respect for sharing the road with bikes. It’s especially bad during the busy summer months and the optimal time to cycle is before mid June before the north/south gates re-open to cars after the winter season. You can then ride up and down the Pass during the narrow car-free window but at this altitude one must be prepared to turn back due to potential snow pack.Stunning footage on both the bikes and the kayaks, those shoulders were so rough but the views were just out of this world!
