Milestone rides is a dedicated blog for people who are interested in bicycle touring so that they can go on their milestone ride. We feature many videos about our trips and bike tours as well as possible instructional.
Do you still use this tent? My big issue is that the Velcro loops that hold the rain fly onto the poles are glued not sewn on and simply detached. I would like to sew them back on but don’t know exactly where. Dangerous if rain fly fails at wrong time and not very sustainable if I end up having to throw it away.

So true, I was set on buying the Kona sutra SE but I tried it and I found it so uncomfortable. I then tried the Fuji touring ltd and it was a dream. The most comfortabke ride ever.

Good to see a young rider using a full frame pump. More than one time I have stopped to help a rider on the side of the road or trail with a pocket-sized pump or CO2 cartridge that did not fill the tire. In the past year I have switched over to stainless steel water bottles. I carry one pint and one liter bottles. Check out the new bottle holders that hold 1.5 liter and one liter water bottles. The water tastes so much better than plastic bike bottles. I pick double walled like new Stainless steel bottles at the Goodwill for $2. New $25 to $35.

So the Death Ridge section killed the trip? That was the hard 4th day when I rode the loop. I started on the North section, South of Escalante. I was hoping your video captured all those hills. It was endless, hard, exhausting, and my favorite part of the 160 mile ride. I lost my 3 liter water bladder too, which made the last 20 miles particularly difficult. Thanks for sharing the video.

I saw your other, group ride video. And this one it looks like you were able to get a hike and bike site. Curious, is there a maximum of the nights you can stay at a time at the Hike & Bike site? 1 night only? 7 nights straight?
@OldCootProductReviews Жыл бұрын
Awesome Video! Curious: 1. The train ride: Where were you able to put your bikes? Do they go next to your seats? Underneath somewhere? In a separate car? And was that the Amtrak "surfliner" or ?? 2. The 2 Hike & Bike sites: is there a maximum of the nights you can stay at a time? 1 night only? 7 nights straight? I realize you guys were forced to get a regular campsite. But I'm curious about the hike and bike site limit.

One car hack I love is to go to the dealership and get a spare key (or a couple!) made that doesn’t have the chip in it. Less than $10 each. Won’t start the car, but I can still open the door. From day one I hide the second (pricey) “chipped” key in the car. If I’m going somewhere iffy - kayaking, water water rafting, the beach, hiking, etc - I take the $10 non-chip key and leave the $150 key under the floor mat or whatever. (Also put a non chip key in a Hide-a-key as another layer of protection.) That way if I lose the $10 key or it gets wet or whatever, no big deal. Can still get into the car and can still drive it. Less bulky too. You do lose the push button “opener” and actually unlock the car with this method, but way worth it to me.

Unbedingt vor Kauf bei Amazon Lumos Kickstart bei dem Artikel mit ca.1225 Bewertungen schauen, was mit dem Helm bei Regen passiert. Fotos sind zu sehen. Hätte ich mal vorher geschaut, meiner hat das selbe Problem. Nimmt sich der Hersteller nur nichts von an. Schon befremdlich. Before you buy, look Amazon Lumos Kickstart, you should look at the article with approx. 1225 ratings to see what happens to the helmet in the rain. Photos can be seen. If I had looked before, mine has the same problem. If the manufacturer does not accept anything. Already strange.
