Does the watch have a remote external temp sensor you stick on the bike somewhere?
Yep, the Garmin Tempe. I actually have a couple of them. Watch can interface with multiple. It's nice to keep track of temps and stay ahead of important decisions on the cold. They say it's only good down to a certain temp well above this, but having used it for years (actually a couple now) and compared with known temps, car sensors, there's a school sign with a temp display on my way to the trails, they are very accurate. It just occasionally "spikes" at a higher temp, which is why it's showing a max of 68 or something. It never shows that while riding though. I get a temp-plot with Garmin Connect too. That part doesn't carry over to Strava, but I believe the average temp (from the watch and sensor) does.Does the watch have a remote external temp sensor you stick on the bike somewhere?
Agree, looks dope! Love that helmet, too.View attachment 167599
love the color of this rain jacket. Sometimes mec makes way more interesting things for kids than it does for adults.
Yeah I agree. I didn't find any other pieces but either way that was probably a walkout or slam the post all the way down and stand-up the entire rest of the way.KS lev carbon rail, most likely
The boots also...Agree, looks dope! Love that helmet, too.
How do you keep your devices warm in the crazy-cold? Close to your chest?Yep, the Garmin Tempe. I actually have a couple of them. Watch can interface with multiple.

My instinct watch says warm because it’s on my wrist. I find my phone stays warmer in a thigh pocket and chest pockets are often the worst for that. If I’m taking and using an in reach mini, that goes in the thigh pocket on the other side (backcountry ski pants). If I’m doing expedition, I use a Garmin e-trex w/lithium (not LiIon) batteries. That doesn’t need to be warm, full power down to -20 and still works at -40. Last days in the cold on one set. Same with headlamp, use a model with AAA batteries and buy lithium.How do you keep your devices warm in the crazy-cold? Close to your chest?
Its the New Milford cops you have to worry about. I don't think they like bikes there....Saw lots of these guys and EMS out and about on my ride in tonight. Usually does not bode well.

Is that a spitfire or rune? Thoughts on the bike?Pics from two different rides actually. First was training for the last race I did this year, second one two weeks ago enjoying the sun above the fog and clouds.

Always cool seeing old trucks out there running. And yours doesn't even seem to have Swiss cheese for metal!

if you ride fast, the wind will get you. Not that you’d know about that!Holding onto shorts as long as possible. Kind of odd seeing city folk riding around on their fat bikes with balaclavas and whatnot already. Like dudes, it's not even below freezing yet.
That's what the help is for.But how is he going to carry his entire extended family in luxury to get a 5 lb bag of mulch?
Thanks! I looked long and hard for that truck. She’s all original, legit rust freeAlways cool seeing old trucks out there running. And yours doesn't even seem to have Swiss cheese for metal!
Wondered if anyone would notice that. I’m rather jelly of your statement. That place is prooooobably what I miss most about CO.The ♡land sticker put it over the top.
I'll be there in the morning.
That's a Titan with mixed wheel sizes and I've been coming off a '16 Reign. I think I wrote down some thoughts in the "new bike or new parts..." thread in the DH forum. And I sent Udi some thoughts in a PM I can look up and post if you're interested. In short terms a very capable bike if you're after a metal bike, designed by a true engineer, long chainstays and have relatively long legs.Holding onto shorts as long as possible.
