Riding Gear ATGATT

Byadmin June 18, 2013June 18, 2013

I believe in ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time).
If I ride 2 km to the store, it’s the same protective gear as I would wear riding 50km to work. Weather will dictate the base layers, gloves, what vents are open and whether I wear a cooling device around my neck.

Day 4: Grand Prairie, AB: 764 km

Byadmin July 3, 2013September 24, 2014

July 2, 2013 We took it “easy” today. Cue the Eagles. We had a desire to lower the number of kilometers and a side benefit would be a bit of shopping time in Edmonton. BAD IDEA. It was 32 C by the time we got to Edmonton and the construction had us sitting idle for…

Day 6: Liard River Hotsprings, BC: 502 km

July 4, 2013 Some days start out well and some not so well. We both woke up early. OK, I woke up and started packing, that might have helped Dendog wake up too. I slept really well. Amazing how the Thermarest (with extra air) protected me from the underlying gravel. We both have good equipment….

Day 12: Muncho Lake, BC: 732 km

July 10, 2013 I must admit to a little trepidation about today’s ride. On the way north, we had encountered a long patch of loose gravel on this stretch. We also encountered a REALLY long open grate bridge. Today was a breeze. A long breeze, but a breeze. The road was improved and it wasn’t…

Byadmin June 16, 2013June 18, 2013

Milddogs Ride Again!

Byadmin September 24, 2014September 24, 2014

Yup, it happened. But how did it happen? Where did they go? What did they ride? Hasn’t been much of a riding year for me. I’ve only put about 2000 km on the Super Tenere. Mostly because I was commuting with another person to work for the summer. Weather didn’t help motivate us to plan…

Super Tenere Farkles (accessories) for the Alaska Trip

Byadmin January 18, 2014January 25, 2014

During the heat of preparation for a big trip, you can lose track of what you have done and possibly how much you have spent. I’m glad to have lost track of how much I spent. This post contains a list of the accessories (farkles in cool internet terms) I added to the bike. Not…
