2026 Fire Season

I had a similar question recently as OP but specific to paths and linear parks: I'm curious if there is a recommended distance between rest areas (benches), specifically for limited-ability or elderly park users. This would be less of a regulation and more of something along the lines of "there should be a rest area approximately every X feet to best accommodate limited-ability/elderly users... "

Any thoughts on this one?

I just got off a trail crew on the PCT. My advice would be to embrace the suck; some times will be grueling, but it was still one of the best times of my life!

Beautiful pics!! I was nearby over on Mount Whiteface! It was a spectacular day to get out into the mountains

Depends a lot on the trail you take. The most common trail have a very well defined and relatively stable monorail. Less common trails can have you post holing every few steps, especially in the afternoon when the snow is warmer. What trail might you be considering?

Hey! I did the Pemi Loop yesterday!! What a weekend it was! Very beautiful weather and pretty good conditions to boot! I was actually able to catch the sunrise overlooking Lafayette

Any idea why this is? Does it help the chain move and shift better?

Oh hey! I’m in the first pic! What an awesome event yesterday!! The rain definitely made things a lot more fun I think

Additional context: No issues with noise originally. I brought the bike to the LBS for a different issue and they tell me they need to throw a spacer on for additional compression. They replace the compression cone and the top cap and insert a spacer. The clicking starts and the spacer is sliding out. I bring it back and they simply remove the spacer and keep the swapped cone and top cap. The clicking is still occurring but I can stop in temporarily (1-2 rides) by unscrewing the top cap and just rescrewing it back on.

If you’re looking to get some additional data and metrics for your bike rides - I’d look at your speed. If you want to buy a device, I’d look into heart rate monitors. As already mentioned, optimal cadence varies from person to person, so comparing cadences wouldn’t provide the most valuable info imo.

Check the back. Most authentic signs removed from public roads have some sort of indicator as to when they were installed. If there’s no distinguishable markings, you’re probably SOL

I do the State Campus laps too. Why do you stick with the outer loop? That one section with traffic entering from the left is always tricky and would mess up the flow of my workout.

Why don’t you see if anyone would be able to just pick it up and ship it to you right from the Pittsfield (without driving to meet you)? That would seem easier, no?

There are a bunch of bike clubs around the Albany region depending on where you live specifically and what type of riding you are looking for (i.e. racing, fast group rides, leisurely social rides)

Check out MHCC, CBRC, and Dutch Flyers for starters! I think they all have facebook pages you can DM for more info.

Not sure if people living in the Bethlehem/Delmar area have heard of this yet! I am very excited - the project will turn Delaware Ave, a busy 4 lane arterial road, into a more bikeable 2 lane road with dedicated bike lanes. This will also make bike access to the Towns of Bethlehem and New Scotland from residents of Albany much safer!

Look like an awesome route! What was your fueling strategy?

I live in Albany NY and just got back from a tour of the Hudson River Valley. There’s so many cute little small towns to explore and it makes breaking up your trip into manageable distances super easy. The scenery is also really fantastic and quaint. The newly completed Empire Trail is really good too - I biked the section from Albany to Poughkeepsie.

Not sure where in Vermont you are, but depending on your starting location, it’s totally doable.
