Cool town on the rock island trail. I actually took the roads. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b66bfa3b80.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3dc1ff88fa.jpg Nice state park https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e6ec42ae0c.jpg 4 main food groups |
I think this is the first time I have seen Brooks panniers in actual use instead of a marketing photo. How do you like them? Do they use the same attachment hardware that the newer Ortlieb panniers use?
|
That is a cool forest.

That blurry campsite photo makes me nostalgic. Do you have an itinerary or are you just doing it day by day?
|
I got the brooks panniers on closeout. I understand I would have still paid less for ortliebs. However they work great and don't move at all in place. They have th locking top for the rack rail and the same adjustable tab. I really like the fasteners. You can pack the bag pretty lopsided and it still works. I am using a big Agnes 1 person tent and it fits in the panniers no sweat.

Highway 78 in illinois https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...dc70ed368f.jpg Great diner. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...641d742b6f.jpg Hennipin canal maintenance https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5b0f127a77.jpg This was difficult with my tires and the weight of my bike. Also yes I have an itenary trying to make state parks each day. Rode 72 miles today and camped at white pines. Just let me say the trails suck on my bike. 32mm tires and dirt or gravel trails slow me down quite a bit. |

151 is good in hot tea.........and it's lighter weight!

fify If you have a yelp page or linkedin profile I'll give you a good review for sure. I always like it when people try to carve a niche out in this new e economy and a full service sentence repair service is just what is needed (imho). I especially like the fact that I can drop the comment off in the morning before work and have it fixed before dinner that same day. Great service! 5/5 |

Between now (Saturday morning) and mid-day on Tuesday we expect about one to three inches of rain in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/anal...pn_ncus_28.png But starting on Thursday it gets colder and drier.
