From one covered place to another as I dodged the storm cells rolling over us!

It was SOOO nice this morning I told the family I would meet them at Church by bike. Slow roll then afterwards another half mile to my favorite cafe’ stop, Port City Java. Then Volare took me down the greenway to home for lunch.

I did try to take a quality picture of my Roam with a cool sunset in the background on Friday evening. It didn't come out as well as I had hoped, but the sun rays cast against the cloud really showed up.

Where is this? It reminds me of the Shenandoah River in VA. I rode a short trail along the river in Front Royal yesterday, but didn't have a chance for any pictures.

My picture is on the Greenbelt in Kingsport, Tennessee. It’s a pretty trail but with a terrible smell from the nearby factories.

Try activating HDR next time (most cell phone cameras have that function today). This photo would really benefit from it. But you need to hold the camera perfectly still as it actually takes several photos and then overlays them.

It’s been so hot this summer, and doing a Beer & Taco ride has been tough. Though I finally planned a nice +40 ride today https://cyclemeter.com/2bb4c8e65ce6b...818-1023-99345 with the Surly Ogre, lots of stops: AC, sports drinks, beer, food and ice cream. Worked out really well, and since I haven’t rode on Saturdays in a while, I noticed something I hadn’t seeoon before and it gave me a nice surprise. 



So awesome ! The best Taco stand in the area is now going to be right on my way home !

The heat is getting a little better here in Florida, did a nice 49 today on the Surly. I always look forward to riding my Surly on Saturday, it’s such a fun bike to ride.

Took a little Sunday morning ride around downtown Cincinnati. Took our usual weeknight route with a few detours.

looks like a few of you guys have disc brakes & rear racks. are those specifically for disc brakes with welded stand-offs? or did you add spacers of some kind?

You can see (Roam above) that the caliper's positioning doesn't interfere at all with the rack strut, so a special rack is not needed. My mountain bike is pictured below, with a seat stay-mounted caliper. In this case, it's possible that I'd need to use a special disc brake rack to clear that caliper's position on the frame. I'm not sure if the caliper is quite inboard (towards the wheel) enough for a straight rack strut to clear it (you can see where the rack mounting holes are on the dropout below the caliper).

thanks hokiefyd, my situation is similar to your MTB but I think mine sticks outward a little more than yours

All around the city to see the hurricanes fury. Did not feel right about taking pics of other people’s misery. Place is a mess BUT, could have been worse. Drop bar hybrid rolls over most debri with out a hitch and still able to rough ride it around the big stuff. Downed cables are another matter and floating through deep water not possible!
