New thread Shorty…. I found the old one but figured a new one is in order.

Soma Wolverine. Gravel rig.

Surly stable includes the Bridge Club…..and my wife rides the Ogre. We do rail trails and we have the Towpath here in Ohio runs from CLE south.
Ohio has a 95% complete route that runs Cleveland to Cincy. 320 miles.

No e-bikes…

Speaking of Surlys, I’m more of a winter fat bike guy, myself. Here’s my ice cream truck in it’s natural habitat:

Gravel = Surly Midnight Special and the wife's Canyon Grail

Road = BMC Teammachine for me and Canyon Aeroad for her.

Gonna either start modding the Surly, or gonna get rid of both and build a Moots over the winter. Haven't decided yet.

Ran into someone recently who told us he was proud to no longer own a car.... until he realized he had spent Beemer level money on his bikes. Anyone else feeling that pain?

We ran into this guy on the beach path in the little town of Cambria, CA. He was a mentor for our kid's robotics team around 15 years ago. He recognized the team number and name on our shirts.

In a former life, I worked at a major outdoor retailer that sold bikes among many other things. Two of the major brands were Surly and Felt. I always left the job of selling bikes to other people much more knowledgeable about them than myself. One of the people that worked there legit rode her bike across the country and it was a Surly. Her name was Dolly.

This is my contribution to this thread.

In my second career, I now work at a shop wrenching/selling bikes. Although we carry a lot of high-end carbon bikes, all of us own and ride at least one Surly. We may juice them up a little. I just built my third; an Ogre outfitted to ride across the country next summer.

I didn’t realize so many of us on DWC owned Surlies (Surlys?)

Post by **CGSshorty** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 2:42 pm

I’d love one of these….

I’ve added the SRAM Red wireless shifting and Zipp wheels over the years. The frame is Ti and the forks titanium infused carbon.
A couple years ago I removed the clips and put on Power Grips.

Adding new Ogre to the collection, set it up for touring.

We’ve almost lived out in the western part of Colorado for a year now and this is the first time we’ve made time to get out on our mountain bikes. It was a beautiful day on the Gunnison Bluff trails.

That looks amazing.

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer trail for our first time out in a while and we’re both 60+ now, so smoother trails are better too.

60 plus… ppfffttt. You’re a mountain of a guy and Laurie is in great shape (at least last I saw her). Live well and ride hard bro!!!

We’re focusing more on smelling the fresh air and seeing beautiful scenery. I’m still pretty cautious on the bike after the crash where I broke 7 ribs and partially collapsed a lung 🫁. Laurie’s slowed down too after my 3 days in ICU and months of healing. Not saying I won’t push it as I get more miles under the belt again, but I’m taking it easy for now.

Whoa! Sorry, didn’t remember that. But…
