Hello Smaug, The Trek while being a nice bike, I could never get the fit dialed in right for me. I am tall at 6'5" and it has always been a challenge to get bikes to fit right, especially for all day touring mode. The kits have allowed me to use bikes that have already gone through that for me.
Hi Hozer! Oh yeah The ride down off the mountain is a fun blast off. Did you ride down US36 Or Colorado 7 from Allenspark?? I like the Highway seven ride better because there is less traffic. I get my pickup serviced in Longmont. Drop it off and get a ride home. Ride my bike down the next day for a great ride!!Welcome Bud! about 10 years ago I lived in Boulder. One day I got on my mountain bike and took the bus to Estes Park ( $7 bucks ). Checked out the Stanley Hotel. That was cool! Then I road my bike down the mountain to the city of Lyons. Man was I "REALLY!!" fly'n down the mountain. lol then got a bus to to get back to Boulder!! Its a awesome ride down the mountain, You outa try it
Ya I took highway US36 to Lyons. Man it is a scary ride down the mountain when you coasting down the mountain. I would say I was doing about 40 to 50mph down the mountain. Lots of sharp turns. Scary but fun lol. Stay Warm!!
Hello! Many places in Colorado to explore! I am the same, lived on the front range my whole life and there are still places to check out. Estes Park is beautiful although not really very good for bicycle exploring. So many tourists clogging up the roads. Yes, Surly Ogre, steel frame
I really liked Grand Junction Colorado. Was there for 6 years. Lots to do there. Trails Galore for Ebikes. Less than 2 hours to the Arches National Park in Utah. I'm in Klamath Falls Oregon now. Kinda sucks Compared to Grand Junction Colorado. I have family here and I am 73 lol. I need all the help I can get ROFL!!
