All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Thank you for already posting this! I was going to ping you to ask about your ride. What a weekend for it too, weather was perfect. Keep me posted if you do it again next year.

So for those who don't know about the PMC and the route, you need to leave ass crack o dawn Sunday AM, so you are through the sand dunes early before they turn into an easy bake oven. If you leave later, you go through there mid day and get roasted like a Thanksgiving Turducken.

I was actually thinking "Hmm, what about internal routing eventually...." and started looking into it, and ran into that basic info. It's aero, but a PITA, and I'm not here to win races so oh well. Looks a little silly, but I like quirky. Not to the level of an Aztek but still....

I could do a Di2 shifter and hydro lines are pretty solid, so not worried if I DO go that route, but yeah a headset would be a pain in the balls to do.

 

If you got a hardtail, post up!

It was an awesome weekend! Saturday, it was 55 at the start and only warmed up to around 75ish. Sunday was warm, not much cover once you hit the outer Cape.
You also have to be over the Bourne bridge by 6 or 6:30. I got to Mass Maritime (the start line), got my bag checked in at 4:30 and had nothing else to do but get after it.
It’s an incredible event, they’ve raised over a billion dollars since they started. The volunteers are awesome, the aid stations were all a party. Great atmosphere the whole weekend. Caught the ferry back to Boston at the end and got to see some whales to cap off the weekend.

 

Going to be in Nanaimo, BC for a day in September waiting for a seaplane hop home. Anyone have an idea where to rent a mountain bike there before I call a shop or two?

The only rentals I can find in Nanaimo proper are ebike / city bike type rentals.

 

if you go onto trailforks, you can see the shops and their proximities to you. you shoudl be able to filter down from there.

 

Yeah, I've been cruising their web pages and no luck so far in terms of any listing "rentals". Just got your text though and hadn't seen Oak Bay yet.

Edit: OB is in Victoria, which is a ways south.
