Thank you for these gems! I’m 61, a teacher, dreaming of retiring and having adventures on my bike. You inspire me and give me ideas about future destinations for cycling. Thank you!
Your video was beautiful, with really beautiful scenery, a great place to ride, and for the looks is a great day with plenty of sunshine. Question about your bicycle the Priority 600, and thinking of getting me the same bicycle, wonder how it felt riding and the distance you rode, how was it? Using your new handlebar. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your kind words. I am going on 3 years with my Priority 600… nickname “Miss Pinion.” The fully loaded ride to the NP has me considering putting the front Tubus rack back on as the rear panniers were heavy and sit rather high on the rear rack. Might want to try to spread out the weight. That is the fault of the rear rack but it was a bit too top heavy. The Jones Bar is great and while there are other options for bars with multiple grip points, I am happy with my decision. As I have said in the past, if I had a chance to do it again I might opt for the narrower Jones Bar. I was, however, mindful of my hand positions and often found myself holding on out near the end of the grips. I can always cut them down but, as there is no reversing that, I have opted to leave them as is. As for riding a distance on “Miss Pinion,” it is a comfortable ride all around with butter smooth shifting and none of that clacking chain noise when lube is required.

Thanks for the kind words… I, also, was a teacher of 4th and 5th graders. That experience helped give me my sense of adventure.
