    Brushy Creek

    Dude. I saw this dude, riding a road bike on Suburban Ninja my first ride out. I think he was a hippie too. WTF?
    Told you ol man.. it isnt a road bike. It doesn't need gears and I'll get a haircut eventually.18cb9fa215cafedd3ab54d96971d7c1e.jpg

    Things have changed since you have been away man. You'll see lots of no helmets and flip flops on shitty bikes making me listen to their stupid music.

    Brushy Creek - Fri Mornings

    Well I went out for an easy ride yesterday evening, and for the first time in hundreds of rides logged at BC, I ended up in a head-on collision on 1/4 Notch. Thought I got lucky with just some scrapes and bruises, but unfortunately my thigh took some blunt force trauma and is now incredibly painful and swollen, probably in part to me being on blood thinners. Needless to say I'm out for this morning. @WLemke I'm really sorry for now having had to back out two weeks in a row - definitely not like me to do that. 

    I hope it wasnt the leg you jacked up last year?   I am trying to figure how to get rolling in the AM for this ride , Fridays shouldnt be bad though. Ive been hitting evenings going into night time. Love me some night rides

    Anyways,, hope you are all right

    Cool,, My son is really wanting to ride with me and wants ANYTHING curvy and without the chunkage of Cen Tex. That looks like he would love it. 

     

    Vehicle Towing Capacity

    in General Chat

    Posted

    I have had 2 trailers in the last few years and towed with a pickup.
    I learned that the advertised towing is different when you use a towing calculator and determine more precise weights.
    What the marketing people tell me a tow capacity is and what it actually is can be very different.
    They don't take into account other weight that should be considered, like fuel family dog.. kids.. food .. cooler.. ice .. propane. That all counts.

    That said.. educate yourself and understand all the unknown aspects of towing.
    It is a safety thing for your loved ones but also the random others on the road. Wear and tear and peace of mind.

    Yes!  100% this.  This is what I mean by going down with the bike if I know I'm going down.  Feet in pedals and hands in bars.  I have bar ends so that even helps protect my hands.  

    1995 called , wants it bar ends back

    Knee/Elbow pads?

    I recall years ago in Bike mag , early 90's , I read a little article about how to crash and one thing always stuck and has come in handy,, When going down on the bike, let the bike hit the ground first. 

    This isnt fool proof but in the slow falls where I actually see it coming I put the bars down 1st into the ground instead of my hands\arms , let them break my fall.
