Kool Stop

Surlys cleaned and greased and retired.  Thinking 15 years use.  Replacement Handsome Cycles wheel house NE MPLS are so nice I can put these away.  Thank you Surly New and Mavic Open Pro and mostly Quality Wheel House for getting me to this point and being the leader.  Bought a second set for winter wheels.  Remember wider fatter rims require wider fatter tubes  

Those are Handsome

 Handsome cycles NE MPLS great build quality single speed wheelsets.  Two sets now summer and winter.  Surlys honorably retired

Ten plus years of riding Cross Check city bike.  Surly New on Mavic Open Pro.  New wheels Handsome bicycles.  Factory hub on Alex Adventure 2 rim.  Nice build for cheap.  Didn't want to step down from Surly and I didn't. NE MPLS

Next year I will have a GoPro and there will be riding pictures.  The WR250F is excellent.  GPS track following is easy with a few turn-arounds.  My trailer worked great.  Boulder Junction WI area has lots of GPS mapped adventures.  Thank you Cannon Shot

My first year of going the week AFTER the event.  Quiet campground.  Ridden trails. Cold beers.  Blazing fire.  Neil Peart on cell phone books.  WI cheese snacks.  Thoughts to myself.  

Relaxing van drive has other perks like a cooler full of MPLS beer and ice, as well as campground now with multiple gear and clothes staging areas with the lift-back and two sliding doors.  Rather than the things in my saddle bags laid out on the picnic table.  I don't want to understate the cooler... 

Welcome WR. In the previous 4 DR years,  I rode the bike there,  once straight from Minneapolis with Chris L,  twice after around Superior first, and once after Duluth-Copper Harbor. And then attended the event.  This time all physical and mental energy saved
