Sounds good to me! Here's what the Houston trailhead looked like in July 2013, per Google Street View. Other than adding the pavilion next to the "No Motor Vehicles" sign, nothing much has changed...

I had a chance Saturday to check out part of the new Tanglefoot rail-trail that runs the 43 miles from New Albany to Houston in northeast Mississippi. If you live close enough to venture over for a ride, be aware that Houston provides no amenities at the south trailhead. Unlike the "whistlestop"...

He was having problems with recumbutt on the Silvio 1.5, despite much adjustment, plus it was a rehab bike. Maybe he'll put the funds toward a Vendetta frameset. :D

That looks like @bubbabent's bike.

For our younger members, and those who just like the song:

No, I'm pretty sure Mark Sisson has never had a heart attack. Do you have a reputable source for these rumors?

I was telling my husband about this description, and he said, "Sounds like Yoda." Hmmm... :eek:

Congratulations! You had a beautiful day for it.

Still wearing the Terry Liberty shorts I had bought before getting into Cruzbikes. Almost knee-length, a little looser through the thigh. Thought about removing the chamois, but I still occasionally ride my road bike or my son's MTB. I also found a pair of Gore Alp-X Lady MTB shorts on clearance...

Update: I checked with my very young, green-behind-the-ears* Honda service advisor after a couple of days. He claimed that only the owner of the dealership, who was out of town for a week, could authorize restitution for the damage, and promised to call me back ASAP. Two weeks after the carrier...

Haven't tried the Seasucker. I didn't want to put a strap-on carrier on my Honda Accord, so I had a Curt hitch installed with a 1 1/4" receiver. Can't tow with it (not that I wanted to), but it'll hold a two-bike carrier just fine. Here's the thread where I was asking about carriers last...

I have a short chainstay I'd be happy to get rid of if you change your mind. I converted my Quest from 451 to 507 (24"), requiring the longer chainstay.

A relatively sedate 36.4 mph on the Silvio 1.5, matching my top known speed on the road bike. No pedaling, no braking, no breathing... A comfortable 28.2 mph on the Q507, pedaling hard on a shorter, less-steep downhill, with a tailwind.

I grew up in north Mississippi, very near Memphis, and still have family up there.

They do favor, don't they? I bought mine from @ReklinedRider as a frameset with handlebars, brakes, and brifters. Don't know where he got it.

Photo credits to my husband.

Come on down! Maybe you and @bubbabent could caravan over.

How about a two-for-one deal? The ninth annual Bikes, Blues and Bayous ride in the Mississippi Delta town of Greenwood took place August 6. A record 947 riders from 17 states turned out for the flat, hot, humid event. More than 500 of those riders chose the metric century loop, while the rest...

I rode the first half of Tuesday night's "very hot Parkway ride" solo, catching up to the B group just as they were leaving the turnaround. One of the Thursday-night regulars offered me a place in the line, since I hadn't had a chance to rest. I've been careful to let other riders know that I...

Same here. I'm about 200 miles south of you. It was 96F (35.5C) yesterday at 6 p.m. for the Tuesday-night 20-mile group ride, with a heat index of 107F (42C), and unpleasantly humid. At least five of the 40-50 riders developed heat exhaustion within an hour.
