That's a good pull man. I usually ride from home up to caura river and back. It's around the same distance. One if the best thing about these covid restrictions was feeling safer on that roadMG Man wrote:metalgear2095 wrote:I'd say the pivots and fork are weak points.

everything I do will be gradually over time, prob starting with the forks
For what I currently do, the gears are fine for now. Same for the pivots (no jumps, drop-offs etc) but I'll eventually upgrade those bolts just for peace of mind
Did 15 miles in Macquerepe and along the chaguaramas bike lane yesterday. Nothing spectacular by the standards of the guys in here but that was my longest ride to date. Good tired after

sounds like a lot of me pushing the bike uphill
Lungs capacity are easily solved by doing low intensity milage rides. Just go out and ride your bike daily in low gearing. Learn to spin the cranks around 88 to 95 rpm. After some weeks ur capacity should improve with ur overall aerobic endurance with regards to heart, oxygen transport, lungs and muscles.MG Man wrote:lol bigger problem is lungs. Permanently reduced capacity from scarring caused by pneumonia about 5 years ago. Part of why I ride and walk up Breezy is to keep the rest kinda ok
I'm game for that Tortuga pull if you and Timelapse have patience for this old fogey

long steady is what builds
steady sustained efforts
don’t go and try riding as hard as possible
you will just go anaerobic and stress your body

That being said, drive it first and get a feel for it.The view is worth it either way

I've driven it a few times, usually from Claxton Bay flyover to the church. I've done it form Gran Couva side too but the roads were lil iffy (land slides etc)
But yeah the views are stellar
So when we doin a Paria Falls hike?

and the average human never trains to reach they maximum so chances are other factors will bottleneck before your lungs

Also, for all the other nOObs in the ched, the other pic underscores the importance of regular inspections
Luckily that bolt fell out in the car on the drive home, but clearly it was on the verge of falling out on the trail
So loctite is on the shopping list this week
