Want to be a BROL member… Reply
…and join in on some of the fun we have. The picture to the left is one of Bryan Ball, ‘BentRider Managing Editor. Here is a bit of a story [BTW, I've been a BROL member since October '05]. Okay, the story…
Lots of readers of my Cycling Experiences… Blog, I think, many from BROL, maybe some who are ‘bent, but not a BROL member. From time-to-time, you’ve seen me use the term BROL. If that is just another acronym or foreign to you, it stands for ‘BentRider Online ['bent as in recumbent]. But, you ride a road bike, you say. Well, so do I. One can ride both types and enjoy the benefits of both. BROL, with its forums, is an excellent place to join a helpful community of builder, owners, and riders of the many different recumbents. Some of you also ride road bikes. It’s okay to do both. Now, want to know more about recumbents.
A note from Terry [regarding Mr. G's ride] 1
I received this note [his thoughts regarding Mr. Giraldo's Day18 Ride] in my BROL Visitors Folder. Thanks Terry. Again, I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Hi Jim … some thoughts on Mr. G’s tomorrow … including a link to a map / elevation profile. I’m trying to adjust for the 2 or 3 days after this leg to Utah. He goes to Garrison to cut the distance from Garrison to Milford, UT, which is 76.5 mi., climbing 4500 ft, NO services.
So Ely to Garrison is 70 mi., climbing 4100 ft, just a normal day for Mr. G. On the way he gets to view Wheeler Peak, a snow capped 13063 feet, in Great Basin National Park. He turns off Hwy 50 to Baker. Baker has local and tourist services as it is the home town of the GBNP. A wondrous feature of the park is it nourishes 3000 year old Bristlcone Pines above 10000 feet in white dolomite soil.
So he visits and stocks up in Baker and tents at Garrison, UT just to get in as many miles for the run to Milford on Hwy UT 21. Speaking of lonely highways ..
