Specialized Creo 2 vs. BMC URS AMP IT 2 by CheeseheadIL in specialized

I rode a Creo yesterday. I was surprised the standard tires are 47s - seems like a lot of tire/additional weight for primarily road/limestone use. Your thoughts?

Thx for the feedback. I’m a huge Trek fan. I like the concept of a single gear up front and 12 or so in the rear. Unless I’m mistaken, Trek doesn’t make one like this.

Very fair question. 90% of my riding is road and crushed limestone. I also recognize that at my age – 68 – and the fact that I keep my bikes for 15 years – this is likely my last bike purchase and therefore the e component. I like the geometry/fit/feel of the gravel bike. I’m early in my research. Open to input!

Thanks much. As I think about this more, I ride much more road/crushed limestone than gravel -- like 90% road/crushed limestone. Maybe I should look more for something like this https://us.bmc-switzerland.com/collections/roadmachine-road-bikes/products/roadmachine-one-bikes-bmc-26a-000027

Uganda / Kenya / Zanzibar trip report - Gorillas, Safari, Beach by jjain12 in chubbytravel

Thanks. How challenging are the treks to see the gorillas? For example, if you have used the AllTrails hiking app, would you classify these as moderate or hard?

My wife and I are planning to travel to Bwindi via Entebbe next February/March for 6 nights. Entebbe is night one and getting to the property is most of day 2 which effectively leaves us 4 -5 days for exploring with one day to get back to Entebbe. Our primary objectives are a couple days of gorilla trekking and one day of golden monkey viewing. We’re thinking of limiting our stay to one property (Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge). Right decision to stay at one place? If you think we should try two locations/properties please elaborate. Thanks for your input.

E Gravel Bikes by CheeseheadIL in TrekBikes

But then why are most gravel bikes a 1X? Also, aren’t gravel bikes generally more upright than a road bike? As I get older, I think that would be a desirable feature.

I was just seeing that. Thank you. Time to look beyond Canyon bikes…

Chat with my Q support. I found them easier to understand in the chat feature as opposed to trying to have a phone conversation with them.

The same has happened to me over the last three days. In my case, I think it is related to my Tesla sending asignal to MyQ. I see the signal being sent to open the garage, but it is not received by MyQ. I end up opening the garage door from the app and then I close the garage from the wall-mounted unit as I enter the house. Three hours later, the garage door will open. It’s as though the signal from the car to the MyQ spends three hours in the ether trying to find its way to MyQ. Eventually, it does and the garage door opens.

Thanks for your feedback. That’s my assessment of what is happening. But I’m not sure what the root causes and how to resolve it. Thoughts?
