Did he really do that! Awesome, he always has this sense of humour that is easy to appreciate. Might be time to once again give him and Connie a nudge on getting over here so I can show him some of my favorite dirt roads while Connie goes hiking with my wife.

Yeah, when is Velotel going to start offering road and off-road tours for PF folks??
I'm going to Velo Vercors this August and might be on some of the climbs he had in his book.

My Strong "Dirt Road" machine. Built before the Disc craze took over. I like it a lot. Running SRAM 10 speed with an X0 rear derailleur to handle the 11-34 cassette. I like having low gears on the dirt. Tires are currently Specialized Trigger Pros in 38mm size. They are a tight fit at the chainstays.

Sorry for the crappy cell pics. Need to invest in a smaller camera.

From today's ride. It's rare that we have to cross rivers but today it happened twice.
