Hey Tom, That's GREAT! An added bonus to the ride. Do you know what time it starts? "Murphy, Thomas" <TAMurphy@...> wrote:Be aware there is a parade...
Be aware there is a parade in Old Town that day. Traffic will be heavy around the city. Wish I could ride but I'll be ringing the Salvation Army bell for the...
I think around 10:00AM and lasts till about noon. It loops around town. There should be something in the weekender or maybe the city web page. ****Hey Rob, If...

Hi Everyone, I'm not usually one to send out 'mail junk' or long stories but this one is unusually funny. I thought you might enjoy a little holiday humor one...
I did my 10 mile commute to work this morning. The thermometer read 9 degrees. I didn't have any body warmth problems, but my rear derailleur failed to relax...
Hi Michael: Well, I hate to say it, but I usually use some cheap brand from WalMart. I think it's called "Tech." I've never tried any of the dry lubes, and...
There is nothing better then a dry lube like White Lightning. I switched over 8+ years ago, and wont even think of putting a oil based lube on my bikes. How...
Hey, thanks for pointers on White Lightning. I do believe I'm going to give it a try after reading your testimony. Just keep in mind, since I'm from West...
Roy, how many miles do you have on that chain? I tried White Lightening one winter, but found the build up of wax on the derailleur pulleys and chain annoying....
One caveat before switching to a wax based lube...DEGREASE YOUR DRIVETRAIN! Otherwise you end up with a waxy, oily mess. Don't ask me how I know. And no...no...

If anyone is wondering about the Ben & Jerry ride on Saturday it's still up in the air as to whether I'm going to do it or not. I will drive over to the path...
If you are going to try White Lighting or another wax lube you will first need to degrees your drive system, Chain, and all components. any degrees from the...
Not really sure, over the 8 years I have gone through through several sets of wheels, brake pads, and a few batteries in 2 different speedometers and a few...
I didn't. Didn't ride yesterday as well. I had a string of 7 straight days (less Thanksgiving)until the snows. How were the shoulders/bike lanes? They...
PG County sucks. As of 8 this morning they still haven’t gotten around to the road I live on (and it’s four lanes plus turning lane!). On the roads they...
If it is any consolation, Montgomery County had not plowed the street I live on either so I too decided that the prudent thing to do was not ride in this...
