How much do these weigh?

300 baud... with an acoustic coupler

Despite living in the Bay Area for about 5 years, I only went up Mt. Tam once, for a hike. I recall that it was a great view up there. I'm not sure I can bike up it in one go. I was actually wondering about biking up Mt. Tam yesterday, not sure when I'll have the opportunity to try it. (I did 45...

I recently had some front tire slippage on a climb (Conversion Kit), the hill pitched up near the top to over 15% grade, maybe as much as 20% (only for about 5-10 yards). I couldn't make it up on the bike and had to walk the bike up the last bit. Traction problems on lesser grades are more...

As a follow on to this ride, I drove over to Shenandoah National Park's Front Royal entrance with USS Yiggy, my Trek Y-26-based Conversion Kit bike. USS Yiggy is probably 35 pounds heavier than the Ridley Fenix Carbon I rode 11 days ago. The weather this afternoon was incredible for mid-late...

Steve: Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's got torque sensors on the cassette/axle to measure your pedaling effort.

Those screws protruding into the area under the neck give me shivers...

Today I went hunting for some climbing nearby, there's one hill which is a good 5-6% grade, but only about half mile long. I went up it twice. Looks like I was about 5-6 mph. Heart rate 170-180 bpm but I was in a my lowest and second lowest gears and I didn't feel like my legs were all that...

Trying to forecast weather 11 days out is really iffy, but weather.com forecast for Front Royal, Oct 25 is low 47, high 64, humid, mostly sunny, 20% chance of rain, light variable winds. If you wanted to go this Sunday (Oct 18), low 32, high 53, cloudy, no chance of rain, moderate winds.

There was one point where they ferried the bikes for everyone, due to a confusion on the meeting point for lunch (I think this was actually the first Skyline Drive trip they did), they likely have ironed out the few glitches for the next trip.

The main thing is to find an arm position that's comfortable for you. The extreme schools of thought are superman (extended) and hamster (close to the body). For most of a year I was almost right in the middle, but after moving the handlebar out a few inches I find my arms don't get tired as fast.

The main problem was how they would carry my bike. The van and the car only have rooftop mounting, and my bike was a) very heavy and b) would take a lot of space. On Sunday, they had the van's roof rack full of bikes at one point. They said they might have a trailer in the future and they said...
