Member Contributer kebrider Posted February 11, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2016 Welcome. Time was just not on our side especially with this large a group. More expensive, but it is a beautiful area. Count me in again. It is 19 degrees Farenheit as I write this at the moment. I'm ready for TMAC. BTW: I put new Michelin Pilot Road 4 on last year before TMAC. They don't even appear to be half worn. Rode same mileage last year as I did previous year on PR 3. I will not be putting on a new set of tires this year. Intermediate skill level, no knee dragging. If I had a nickel for every early morning tire run.....

Sweeper Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 1:18 was a hell of a moment !My bike is raised in the rear so I've never scraped a peg. There is a little dip right there or I still wouldn't have touched down.

If there is any way I can swing it, I'll be there before that. I need another vacation. I'm still in if you're making plans. You just say when.

It has more elevation change than the section where the pegs were down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't scrimp on the bike shorts, get a good quality like top level Pearl Izumi or similar, it makes all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
