http://banjobrothers.com/products/current/replacement-parts-t-shirts-and-swag/cue-sheet-holder/ I bought this cue sheet holder and really like it. I run both--a Garmin and a map placed in the cue sheet holder
In addition to the awesome "Colorado Gravel Roads" link sent by drwelby, buy a copy of Benchmark Maps Colorado atlas book. This is my go-to resource for planning Colorado gravel rides because it has a larger scale than…
The best source that I have found for planning gravel rides in new areas is the Benchmark Road and Recreation Atlas books. They are available for 12 western states, and Utah is one of them. The map legend within these…
The best map source that I have found for my state (Colorado) is Benchmark Road and Recreation Atlas map books. The map legend makes it clear which roads are paved and non-paved. The map scale provides more detail than…
No worries Ben. Totally understandable of your logistical constraints given the weather. Thanx for the Jason Boucher link! A sincere thanx to you and Guitar Ted for all you guys do!!
I'm sure everyone would love to see some pictures of the conditions that the riders faced today--especially the "B" road quagmire.
Salidagravel--sounds similar to the VaporTrail 125 route that I just looked at although they spend some distances on the Colorado Trail and Rainbow Trail. You thinking of doing Marshall, Monarch and Hancock passes? I…
RangerJoe, See the Sheldon Brown article at http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html Go to the area entitled "Width Considerations", where the table agrees with your max width of 32mm on a 15mm inside diameter rim. Note…
Jan Heine of Bicycle Quarterly and Compass Bicycles weighs in on his article How Wide a Tire Can I Run? https://janheine.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/how-wide-a-tire-can-i-run/
Batman1USA, do you live in Oklahoma? I know of a Masi dealer southeast of Denver, CO if that is convenient for you.
Hopefully someone can answer this mystery for me regarding pedals: On my road bike, I ride a Look Keo red cleat on a Look Keo pedal that gives me 9 degrees of rotational float. Why don't MTB pedal/cleat manufacturers…
Great picture salidagravel!! Classic Colorado. Is this the view the 200k riders saw after turning left onto Herring Park? I was on the 71 mile route last year.
I'm interested in possibly attending the WyColo Border patrol. Questions: The flyer says 2015 rides. Is the WyColo ride held this Sunday, November 2, 2014? What is the distance? What type/condition of roads/trails will…
Awesome. Love that low morning light on a gravel road!
Is the rear hub Shimano/SRAM? 10speed?
My most valuable source of maps is the Benchmark map book entitled "Colorado Road & Recreation Atlas". Benchmark's legend makes it easy to discern main gravel roads from "B" roads and paved roads. The scale is also the…
I have an entry with support crew at midpoint available for sale for the subject gravel ride. This is the century version of the famous Dirty Kanza 200 mile race. Quick details: Date: Saturday, May 31, 2014 Location:…
I also have a problem with finding wide shoes, as I wear a 9-9 1/2 EE. Good thing that Sidi started making their Mega width shoes. The Sidi Dominator 5's come in a Mega width for wide feet, but they'll set you back…
The "B" road should be quite an adventure
In my experience through riding hundreds of miles of gravel roads in Elbert and El Paso counties, the Continental Cyclocross Speed tire in a 42mm width works great. Good air volume to soak up the washboard, good…
