November 2026 Photos and Rides

Snyderville Basin, Northern Utah. Chilly at around 40 degrees F.

We just keep having one 5 star day after another here in Massachusetts.  Hard to believe it's November.

This was a little bit prior to November.. but I recently did an 8 day tour from Munich to Venice on my Sam Hillborne! It was an incredible trip, and my first tour outside of the US. I plan to make a separate post soon with a full trip report!

In contrast to Kesler's 5 star days, I'll have to rate the weather here in my corner of North Carolina as 3 stars; sunless gray skies with  a bit of a chilly breeze. Still, it felt dang good to get out for a mellow rail trail ride after spending all of last week doing battle with a virus.     Steve in AVL

Sounds awesome, can't wait to hear more about this trip. 

Thank you

When autumn leaves start to fall...

[Brent Knepper]

past couple weeks I went to both Connecticut and Japan, which are riv hotspots (relatively) these days :)

some nutmeg content to start:

"fashion, sweety" atlantis

(Ben's a gem!) Sam

faerry mermaidin appa and platy

[Brent Knepper]

Kyoto content, first is Humhumhug Cycle Center near downtown

susie wolbis and a platy in sergio green

the orange ano, brass spokes, and sergio green paint is a pleasing, masculine combo on the platy. wild light setup too

non-riv content sorry but I feel like Araya and Grand Bois/I's Cycle fit thematically

[Brent Knepper]

some rivs in the wild while walking around Tokyo, mainly Shinjuku City and Yoyogi Park area. kickstands are alive and well!!

[Brent Knepper]

don't worry everyone I went to all the blue lugs too :)

think above are from Yoyogi Park, Hatagaya, and Kamiuma respectively.

la monarcas~~*

[Brent Knepper]

last, a periwinkle Generalissimo Especiale at BL Kamiuma. wish I coulda rode it but it was dark already and I was running late for non-bike-nerd evening plans. next time??

the sugino mighty 75 cranks with 94bcd chainrings were my fav part of this build.

ok enough spamming this thread! thanks and sorry and enjoy

[Matthew Williams]

I had an errand in Milpitas and I took the long way home.

Hopefully this Rivendell adjacent (Black Mountain Cycles Monstercross) is acceptable! From yesterday's mixed terrain ride-your-birthday-miles ride. This is a great bike!

Randy in WI

Great photos from Japan!  That's my bucket list trip: sushi, green tea, trains, bikes and blue lug.

[Eric Marth]

Hi Brent — That's my mermaid Appaloosa and the Platy belongs to Troy Howell, Carrie borrowed it for the weekend :o) 

Great pics from Japan! 

[Dan]

I (and my Appaloosa) were joined by a family of ducks when I stopped for Coffee Outside at the wetlands on my way to work last week. Ducklings are so cute!

[Takashi]

As I wrote in the October thread autumn colors are no so vivid this year, but I did come upon some beautiful places here and there on Saturday's ride.

[Eric Marth]

A few from the Nor'easter! We borrowed a very sweet and plush Platypus from Nutmeggers Troy and Ballz. I brought my Appaloosa. 

I also made some shirts and hats this year and have a few left over if anyone's interested: https://genericindustriesltd.bigcartel.com/ 

[Brent Knepper]

Takashi: still great views even if the colors are more rusty!

Eric: thanks for the shirt reminder and letting me know the ferry mermaids were your doing! meant to pick a shirt up at the event so I'm happy there's still an option
