    Set up a bike for the lady. An older Giant Avail Composite, shimano 105 2x10. Hopefully she uses it more than a few times

    Awesome ride! Very inspiring, were there any issues in riding thru Camp Pendleton in regards to security or route changes?

    Well so much for nice quiet riding with minimum dangerous conditions Now that this self isolation/shut down is ending , it's back to noise, crowds, bumper to bumper traffic, smog, danger all around and terrorised wildlife. Oh, how I long for a peaceful country road.

    Happy to find this thread. Just started cycling in May after the pandemic hit. A lot of kind people helped me piece together gear on my extremely limited budget, but I have been enjoying cycling so far.

    My bike isn't much, but good enough for now and she is smooth:

    2001 Trek 2300
    Ultegra Groupset
    Mavic Kysrium Wheels w/ Bontrager AW3 Hard Case Tires
    Brooks Cambium C17 Saddle
    Garmin Edge 510 (Free)

    I'm up to 428.77 miles for July in the Trek Challenge on Strava. Ride as little as 100 miles and get rewards. I'm shooting to beat my total from last year, which was a little over 600 miles. Have a new bike, and if nothing goes wrong, should accumulate 700+ miles this month.

    And no, you don't have to ride a Trek bike...lol

    Nice! Putting in some good miles! I am still trying to balance the riding and family time, cycling sure is time consuming haha.

    I did join the Trek challenge on Strava and completed the first level, I am around 158 miles into that challenge. Thanks for info though, appreciate that. Feel free to follow me if you want, Ryan Irusta on strava.

    Went on a pretty sweet cycling road trip with some friends. Semi-Supported (2 non riders drove the trucks/gear to the next camping spot where we met up each afternoon/evening). Idaho and Montana were beautiful, friendly folks and great landscapes. Was nice to get the hell out of CA for a bit.

    Day 1, Plummer, Idaho, Couer d'Alene trail to Pinehurst, Idaho. (51 miles)
    Day 2, Pinehurst, Idaho to Thompson Falls, Montana. (53 miles, 3800ft climbing) BRUTAL day, half of the ride ended up being on gravel. Not that fun on a road bike.
    Day 3, Thompson Falls, MT to Bull Lake, MT. (58 miles, 1800ft)
    Day 4, Bull Lake, MT to Troy, MT (28 miles). Easy day to wrap up the trip.

    Ride data on Strava. Working on a video for the trip.

    Badass trip! I am going to ride the Trail of the Couer d'Alene next month from Mullen/Kellog to Plummer, should end up right around 120 miles or so.

    Looks like a great trip and some amazing scenery; even better to be semi-supported with the camp crew getting everything set up beforehand!

    Trail is about 75 miles from Plummer to Mullan so 140-150 total. Just rode the trail a few weeks ago and checked the mileage. My wife and I did that a few years ago. Rode from Plummer to Wallace, dumped our stuff in the hotel then rode up to Mullan and back to the hotel. hotel had pool, hot tub, and sauna. Great after a ride. Then rode from Wallace back to Plummer the next day. Fantastic ride!

    What bike rack setup are you using to get them side mounted like that? I have mine mounted on top of the bed bars, but wondering if I can get them lower and reserve some space up top instead.

    One of my last rides was about 32 miles before I had to have my wife rescue me because of a flat tire. :mad:

    This bike really deserves to be ridden more.

    If you're going to road bike, you need to know how to change the tire and do light mech or you'll be stranded. Congrats on the new bike.
