Adventures of Lidarman: WRIAD added food
http://lidarman.blogspot.com/2012/10/wriad-added-food.html
Friday, October 05, 2012. I added some food for safety, and since my pack is not overly heavy, I thought it was appropriate. Included is some trail mix and four squares of Lindt 70% dark chocolate. The weather forecast is fairly mild now, including sub 40F temps in the morning. Our plan is to roll by 6:00 AM with lights ablaze! Mountain biking is my passionate method of seeing the world. I carry a camera along to help share it with others. I hope you see something new or in a new way here.

Adventures of Lidarman: April 2010
http://lidarman.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 23, 2010. Swoopo is an all-pay auction site where you buy bids at $0.60 per bid and use them to bid up the price on items by one penny. If you win, you pay the price when it ends. The other cost is the cost of your bids. It's close to gambling and there are many sites that talk about these auctions. Here is a hilarious example of a recent winner. The bidder won a voucher of 300 bids for $10.79. The funny part is that he used 403 bids to do it. That is like buying $180 for $252.59.

Sunday, February 13, 2011. Winter Bike to Work Day. Third annual event. The ride in was easy. The ride home,.well much easier than driving. It took me 45 minutes to ride home, normally it takes 30. But driving the same for many took two hours or more. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mountain biking is my passionate method of seeing the world.

Adventures of Lidarman: May 2011

Monday, May 30, 2011. But I'm still fine. Here is a Billboard in Grand Junction before the terror. I'm glad I got my booze while it was my last chance and given the weather, it was definitely a good year for snow tires. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Adventures of Lidarman: New Bike---well sorta
http://lidarman.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-bike-well-sorta.html
Saturday, September 15, 2012. New Bike- -well sorta. Gosh, It's been so long since I have posted. Well let's try and start the fire on this again. And a great way is to start with a new ride. 2011: Same story.story is getting old. It has three key things I hope make my ride better than last time. It's 4 pounds lighter. It has a really comfortable saddle. It has grip shifters, rather than trigger shifters- My right thumb has some issue that makes it hard to shift after several hours. Ride More, Talk Less.

Adventures of Lidarman: Testing Bike Camping Gear
http://lidarman.blogspot.com/2012/01/testing-bike-camping-gear.html
Sunday, January 08, 2012. Testing Bike Camping Gear. A nice sunny, but cold January day is a great time to test out gear. Since then I have been looking at plans to do overnight rides including the Colorado Trail and even the Continental divide trail. There are several approaches to bike packing, and good advice can be found on. Http:/ www.bikepacking.net/. Another philosophy is to get all sorts of custom bags to hold stuff on the bike and camp in a somewhat minimal sense, using a light tent or bivy, etc.

Adventures of Lidarman: Prep Challenges for WRIAD
http://lidarman.blogspot.com/2012/09/prep-challenges-for-wriad.html
Thursday, September 20, 2012. Prep Challenges for WRIAD. Our target date for White-Rim-in-a-day is Oct 7, 2012. I built up my WRIAD bike using a Yeti ASR frame and parts from my other bike. At the moment, I'm focusing on hydration for the ride. Unfortunately, this frame only has one water bottle cage. I could put a bottle in my pack with my two bladders but I am trying to get some of the weight off my back. So getting creative, I came up with this for the extra bottle. Here is the method. Mountain biking...

Adventures of Lidarman: July 2010
http://lidarman.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. Rides in the heat. Hot in Boulder, but good riding.]. Links to this post. Monday, July 12, 2010. I broke my old commuter Singlespeed. It was a commute bike with 32-12 gearing. Great for riding to work but not for trails. I got a new frame and decided to make it a two-option SS. I sometimes want to take it on the trail. So now I can. The change is made by removing the quick link and putting in a 4-link section. The idler pulley is moved over. In theory a two minute job.

Adventures of Lidarman: It's called WRIAD
http://lidarman.blogspot.com/2008/10/its-called-wriad.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. It's an acronym for White-Rim-In-A-Day, WRIAD. The White Rim. Trail in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. There is also the option of just riding it all in one shot, like the jeepers do. Like many endurance cyclists do. That is what we did this past weekend. We chowed-up on spaghetti with meatballs and salad along with a beer before crashing early. The food was good and filling. The beer was soothing. After a nice flat warm-up of a couple miles, we climbed out of the canyon to Min...
