All about bicycles

Yes, personally I question the logic for that. However, given the brand reputation, I would be interested in their bikes by default just because of how good they do other things.
Yeah, I think Yammy have been doing ebikes for a very long time. 1993 methinks.
Giant uses their motors. I would def consider them.
 
I love fall in PeeYay

It's getting colder now...
Started out at 8C, and returned home at 11C. I hauled out the heated gloves and charged them up. Three layers of long sleeves got me going.
What a beautiful sunny day for another quickie to Mud bay and back, around 25km.



This is a view from the bottom of a switchback that gets you up and over the train tracks beside the greenway to Hwy 10 and the South entrance to Watershed Park...



The path down to Colebrook road...



The tide is way, way out...





These look to be the elevated walkway/trails that have been worked on for many months...



Don't let the new green grass fool you. Sections are VERY muddy and my bike was a mess. Fun though, and I probably should not have been on them if the city had their way...



I'll clean up the mess later...
 
New fork day! The RockShox Judy that came stock was uninspiring and heavy, so I started hunting for upgrades. Lucky for me, RockShox released a new version of the SID SL Ultimate this summer, so sellers have been putting the previous model on discount. I managed to find one for half off, so I couldn't walk away from that deal.

I just mounted it yesterday, so haven't really tested it, but it took two pounds off the front end! And the blue is like a piece of jewelry...

Also, new wheelset on the way! :cool:

Nice choice!
 
In early October I went to my class reunion in eastern Montana and threw in my bike packing gear just in case. It turned out to be a nice weather extended fall so I took off on a whim to spend a week in the remoteness of south eastern Montana and north eastern Wyoming. Spent one day at my relative's ranch vaccinating cattle too.

The road to the ranch

The calves get tags

Never any traffic

I'm always heading over the horizon

Yep, over that horizon too. You can just barely see the rest of the road dead center on the far right.

I don't think they had ever seen such a skinny ugly horse before

Heading over that horizon too. Not much for traffic and it's a little less bumpy

No close encounters were to be had

I told some motorcyclists that the Army Corps of Engineers built this back in the 1940s...and they believed me. Ugh!

After leaving Devil's Tower it got really remote again. No civilization for a couple of days.

My one wheel drive work truck

I ended the day sleeping next to a haystack with coyotes yipping all through the night

Beginning of the next day - heading to the horizon again
IMG-3308-1.jpg


Back to the highway for a while.

Heading over the highlands above the Powder River. I'll hit the river just before that gap on the horizon in the center

Finally dropping into the Powder River bottoms

Getting close to the end of the trip now. I grew up riding motorcycles all around those buttes.

Made it to the town I'd started from right before sunset. That was a big 100 mile day. Dinner at the Chinese buffet was awesome!
