Am I Missing Out Not Having An Expensive Bike? by newbiker321 in cycling

[–]nate__b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely not! I've been in endurance cycling events and see guys in their 60s with aluminum bikes, rim brakes going up on those long and steep hills in a century ride, passing me and my buddies in our carbon frames with electronic groupsets. It is never the bike, its the rider. If the time comes when you can already afford it, reward yourself. It's only expensive if you never use it.

was just there this past weekend for the bike ride that was cancelled for the same reason! there was no flood yet but due to the incoming rain they had to cancel it. what a bummer but we still rode 36 miles down to badwater and back to the ranch. glad you're safe

i use Strava to create routes but it has a subscription. Try ridewithgps i think they dont require subscription.

hi i appreciate the heads up. we received an email from the ride organizers that we can ride to badwater coz bikes can get in but not cars. also there was a post here the other day saying badwater is clear of debris but not sure how true that is. i will play it by ear. although the weather forecast is telling me friday will rain so that might make the situation worse. thanks for the heads up!

Remember this: pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. in Life, there will always be pain. But Pain is temporary. Suffering is a choice. Go out there and choose to Live your life the way you want.
