Re: Can You Be Ticketed for Speeding on a Curve with a Lower Limit?
I am with Sean's assessment. I don't think recommended speeds are legal limit, but again it is up to the issuing officer's judgement, so if you see fuzz on your butt then be cautious.

Re: Pacific Coast Bike Race 750 - 2024
Yup, I decided to bail at Morro Bay and take the train home from SLO. I wasn't really getting anything out of this. Had been thinking on it for a couple days and calmly decided to head home while I was riding down to the coast from Paso Robles. I had a good time riding with everyone and chasing 1st,...

Pacific Coast Bike Race 750 - 2024
I'm running in the PCBR 750, the shorter version of the 1500 I did last year (which I'll do again September 2024). If you'd like to watch my progress, here be a link: https://trackleaders.com/pacificexpress24 It'll be an interesting race for me as I'm using a road bike with a fair bit of go-fast stu...

Gracias.
Nate, it was snowing when I was napping at the trailhead, but I believe it stopped as we were hiking up. After that it was spindrift, just snow on the ground blown back into the air.

Up GMR to Ridge to Baldy Road, met Dima at Wanker Flats, hike up, climb, get the hell off the very windy summit, hike down, ride home. 77 miles with 11,340ft of climbing over the course of 19 hours or so.

Re: 20240217-19 Death Valley to Barstow
Dima, the road west of amboy leads to Barstow, which suck enough to not bother with. Plus you have to take the freeway to avoid the USMC logistics depot... and then you exit the freeway into Barstow. It would be better to never be in Barstow. It's a terrible place. The section east of Barstow is dam...

Nah it's just too much of a pain in the ass to take em from my phone and send em via email to myself, then open em on the computer and put em on here... just imagine it in your head!
Yep, I put it on strava. All the photos are on there, too, since I do everything from my phone.

I'm gonna try something new that might not flow so great. I wrote the first part of this trip report on Strava right at the very end when I was waiting for Amanda to pick me up.

Re: Taco's Bike Thread
I haven't ridden the SA saddle yet. The bike probably wont be done for a few more weeks. All of my leather saddles took time to break in, which meant butt pain and saddle sores, but eventually they were all comfortable. The synthetics I've used don't break in, and aren't comfy beyond 60 miles, which...

Of course it's unsalvageable! I have a shitload of new housing. I think I need to overhaul your bike. I bet you need a lot of stuff done to it. Hubs probably need service, all cables/housings replaced, bottom bracket is probably nuked, got 8lbs of rust in the tubes, probably got a colony of rare spi...

The lowest falls in FF should be marked on a regular USGS map. That's the furthest you can go without some scrambling up around em and so forth. Not long after passing those you'll encounter more falls. I miss FF. Beautiful place. Nobody there. Great water. Very special place for me. Great photos of...
