Holiday weekend Rides?

[rperks]

I hope some of you out there were able to get in some nice holiday
weekend rides.

The family and I were up on the California central coast visiting with
even more family over the weekend. I was able to squeeze in a nice
mixed terrain metric century on the Roadeo. Every time I pull off a
ride like this on the Roadeo I fall deeper for it, lately it is the
only bike I ride unless the little girl is along, she still sits in
front of me on the xtracycle.

Back to the ride, 68 miles over hill and dale, along the coast and
back up into ranch country. Temperature swings greater than 30
degrees over the ride, and maxing out near 100 deg near the end. It
is nice to have a bike with bags so you cna carry some layers, snacks
and plenty of water.

Everything went as well as you could hope. Even the new to me Swift
saddle treated me well, not sure if it was brave or stupid to use a
new saddle on a day like this, butt it went well - pin intended

That's one awesome ride Rob. Everytime I drive down the 101 grade into SLO I look across at that old Stagecoach rd and wonder.....

 

someday I'll get up there to ride when I'm semi-retired!  .... and soon I hope.

Very nice Rob.  I agree with you about the Roadeo.  I am riding mine more and more on dirt roads and trails.  One set of wheels with GB Cypres for smooth and quick pavement, one with cx tires makes for an incredibly versatile and responsive bike.  What tires were you running there?

Tim,
I run Jack Brown greens, and find they strike a good balance. I have
used them on everything from new pavement to some easy single track
and they have held up just fine. The only place they have let me dow
nis in sandy corners out on the trails, but you can not realy hold
your hopes too high for any road tire in those conditions. Out on the
dirt roads they are perfect as long as I keep my speed in check,
probably a good thing in the long run.

Rob
