antelope island was tolerable at 40 if climbing but frigid when descending.

My Saturday came free, so I'm good for Saturday or Sunday. Who else is in?

Great Ride..
Amazing Weather...
Good People..
What more could you ask for

by **Kevin** Mon Jan 15, 2018 4:42 pm

Seriously good. That was exactly what I needed.

must admit, my a** is a bit sore...
You missed it when we cheered Ian as he reached the end of the trail, wish I could have done that when I was his age.
On these longer rides, he's learning the concept of lessening your effort but keep moving toward the end when you are tiring.
I bet he saw none of the trip home Smile

Today I learned we need to ride Eagle Mountain.

Where are the trailheads ?

by **Kevin** Thu Jan 25, 2018 9:50 am

Trailforks has four. Right around the corner from Andrew's house, he's been holding out on us.

I'm REALLY getting the itch to build a teardrop trailer.
Brady, next time I see yours I need to take a bunch of pictures and measurements.
If only I knew someone with a welder.... Smile

by **Kevin** Fri Jan 26, 2018 6:48 am

I am too. If I can move the Bastard I kinda think some of that cash is going to go into trailer supplies or a used RTT.

I've been creating a 3D model of my trailers frame. I can pull dimensions for you, or we can put together a model with dimensions you want.

(Now that photobuck sucks, what do you guys use for image hosting?)

Why build one when you can build three

You can host them here easily enough, or there's a hosting site that Shane on RME put together at https://mchne.com

I like the idea of a trailer assembly line.

Wait that was my plan after you got the jig figured out

Any tips for breaking a chain? The 9-spd KMC chain I got is way too long for my 1x crank. I've got a chain break tool, but it's not working.

Edit, never mind. Big pliers did the trick.

New hotness.

That's a 50 tooth granny. I might not be climbing any faster but I'm damned sure I'll be walking less.
