Saturday morning I rode at A.R.M.L.W.R. With a friend.  This is a
super adventure ride and one that I look forward to doing again.  We
saw two Deer, one Bobcat,& one Alligator, from a distance of less than
50 feet. The hard dirt road is passable and the 24 mile adventure in
the outback is well worth the effort..............et wpb

This morning, on my way to work, my rear tire went flat yet again.
It was a Continental.  That is the third time within 7 days, and the
cause is small shell fragments mixed in with piles of rubble between
Paul Rardin Park and the Pahokee airport.

The tire is a Continental Grand Prix (I love the tire for road-
riding, but it is terrible for riding on the dike).  I switched out
my front Continental for a Primo Comet over a week age because of
the difficulties with Continentals.  The rear tire is torn up.

This was highly annoying today, because

The library I am working at opened to the public today.

I was going to be late for work (that's not so bad, since I had a
few hours once I got there to prepare).

Once I had changed out tubes and was inflating the replacement tube
(this was no easy task, because I had to take off a Continental with
a single tire lever), the bolt inside of the Presta valve snapped.



A fried drove me from Paul Rardin Park to the library.  I am
thankful for that.

Also, I am thankful that I got to watch a bald eagle and an osprey
fish while I was waiting at the top of the dike for him.  Then I
watched some fishermen be a little less successful.  I sat in
my 'bent's seat throughout it.  Aaah, the joys of riding recumbent!

I switched to a Primo Comet in the front because my front wheel's
rim was bent in a fight with a curb.  I tried putting a Hookworm on
the new rim first, but it didn't work (too wide of a tire and tube),
so I switched to a Primo Comet with Kevlar bead (I can get a good
deal on some parts through a local hardware store).

I am thinking about putting either a Hookworm or a Comet on the rear
wheel.

Be careful about the tires you choose to use for the LOST ride.
Make sure they can take some punishment.  I thought that the Grand
Prix would be able to take much more punishment than they have.

Hi Gang,
Can anyone tell me that if I build my own frame by copying, for example, a Bachetta Giro 20, if I violate any patents?

***Nope...only if you make them to sell...Fla George
Thanks,

Hi All,

I live in Royal Palm Beach and have joined your group some time ago but
based on where I live I have not joined you on your rides.  I know you
are doing a LOST Ride but will not be able to make it. I use a Garmin
Edge 305 and would love to get the file of your ride as I want to ride
it with my son in the next month.  If anyone is willing to share a LOST
gps file it would be super.  Please let me know.  You can email it to
me or let me know how I can get it.

Didn't know if you folks saw this:

I did one on Tampa in August just to say I did it. It was a good
challenge and a good time. Several people ride really slow.  I think I
may try this one.

OK,!  The correct name is Arthur R. Marshall
Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge (established in 1951}. So,
what do you think about a club ride at A.R.M.L.W.R.?
I may be riding at this location Sunday. The hard dirt
road is suppose to run 12 miles south and end at a
main canal in Broward county.

Steve,
I also heard that the Army Corps of Engineers were finishing paving of
the remainder of the LOST trail. Do you have any info on this?

 Marshall Wildlife Preserve? They must have renamed it. It used to be Loxahatchee Wildlife Preserve, and always got confused with the Loxahatchee State Park up in North Palm Beach. I have some great gator pictures I took there years ago.

Last week I found a new place to ride, Marshall wild life preserve
located on st.rd. 7/441 2 miles south of Boynton Beach blvd.. You can
ride from Palm Beach county to Broward county on a hard dirt road.
This is a central location for most members and would make a good club
ride.    ........................et wpb

This is an ADVANCED level metric. We'll ride approx 63 miles and the
goal is to have a 15.5 to 16 MPH "average" at the end of the ride. This
means we'll have to keep the speed ABOVE 17 MPH as much as possible.
Remember that around here, the average speed is usually 2 miles per
hour LOWER than the cruising speed. Meet @ 7:15 AM and BE READY to
pedal by 7:30 AM.
