Sweet looking bike!! What frame is that? Most modern carbon bikes are an aesthetic disgrace. That one looks great. If it were me riding it, I might swap out to a bit beefier stem.

Dats my new Crux!!!

Build is in flux. Currently getting an AXS mullet build with Levante wheels (oh the horrors of mixing kit). Stem is a Spec sworks stem...but ya, it's a bit dainty on there. Once the build and fit are settled, I'll turn to the stem.

I've been 'sneaking' that trail back to the saddle on m-f rides (early am). On weekends, its asking for trouble.

(good photo).

Like many trails in Marin, this trail is designated "hiking only"

It is a couple of miles only, and we take extra care to not pickup speed and be friendly to any hikers we see anytime we ride it. Yesterday evening, we saw a single runner across the whole trail...

Half century on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail today.

All the way from Orphan Farm Road to where it ends in Wassaic, NY, and back again.

Some sun, lots of clouds, even some snow at times, temps mostly in the mid-30's.

I took the Ahearne, which is kind of heavy, but since there's not a lot of climbing I figured I'd put some miles on it.
