Many times we escape it for a week and go to Colorado but it didn't work out this year. Wishing your wife a speedy recovery.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960843311274452366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827707900784884389.post-12533907785593963842014-09-03T15:40:54.484-07:002014-09-03T15:40:54.484-07:00Thanks Richard!

Then because I experimented with shorter stems on my Schwinn, I found this solved my reach problems. So, shorter stem with the drops might be the best solution for me. We will see over some time here. I agree with you, the tinkering is fun and keeps my interest up on all things bicycle!!Jim Bangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618333090634257257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827707900784884389.post-37357894236325485742014-09-03T15:34:40.227-07:002014-09-03T15:34:40.227-07:00Thanks Ryan, I'll get some more riding in.

I'll post up when we get that done and it will be a spectacular country up there with views.Jim Bangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618333090634257257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827707900784884389.post-49919524691683759272014-09-03T15:30:53.971-07:002014-09-03T15:30:53.971-07:00It is better eye candy with the drops.It is better eye candy with the drops.Jim Bangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618333090634257257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827707900784884389.post-73086951453329673642014-09-03T15:29:58.781-07:002014-09-03T15:29:58.781-07:00Yes, Debbie is my wife, and as for the horses, the...Yes, Debbie is my wife, and as for the horses, they are hers.

Second - great pictures as always you live in a gorgeous spot. I do love my drops especially with an upright position like I have on the Handsome devil. I have toyed with the idea of going to a moustache type bar but I really have no complaints about the Nitto Rando's I am currently using. Hope your stable boy duites will allow you to get some more Indian summer rides in.RoadieRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900109046198641775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827707900784884389.post-88875138219559782252014-08-29T11:39:47.959-07:002014-08-29T11:39:47.959-07:00Oh, and also: drop bars.

Ain't it great to be someone who hustles to the rescue? I know about horses and shovels, me brother, and I would dearly welcome a chance to help out. Or not.

I just did 22 days on the road...<br /><br />tjTim Joe Comstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351911607475089105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827707900784884389.post-30949879732613193082014-08-28T12:16:53.886-07:002014-08-28T12:16:53.886-07:00Great read, and beautiful pictures!

If you still end up with hand and wrist problems, you might take a good look at the Velo Orange Course Bar ..... I sure like mine. 100 miles on it so far, and all my thumb, hand and wrist pain is GONE!!! Plus, down in the drops are becoming alomost my preferred position. I couldn't use them with the other bar. Such beautiful photos! It looks like you got plenty of rain this year. RichardWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065102209541255736noreply@blogger.com
