Marty Backe Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm taking my new MSuper V3s+ for a shakedown ride this Sunday morning. Please join me if you want a 35 mile grand tour of some nice river trails. We will start in Downey, riding a few miles of streets and sidewalks to join the Coyote Creek trail, taking it south to where it joins the San Gabriel river and then back up north. Along the way we will visit and ride 5 very nice parks and do some riding in the bottom of the rivers. I've ridden this loop a few times, and it's a fun time. This is all A+ trail conditions - smooth and fast. Here's the parking lot that we will meet at Sunday morning at 9am: https://goo.gl/maps/budEShkXuk82 Respond to this post and we will wait for you to arrive. Hope to see you there.

Questor Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Arg! I'd love to do that ride, but I'll be in an airplane. Good luck with the shakedown Marty. I've been reading the threads. Have you been practicing your tuck and roll parkour skills? (Just kidding.) Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temperatures are going to be much cooler on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen I'm pretty sure that there will be a group ride in the late afternoon of July 8th, to host our buddy from New Zealand, @The Fat Unicyclist. Just waiting for him to confirm the date.

enigma35 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Friend of mine is in town and has a V8 so might be limited to something like 20 miles. Is there a loop back or shortened version for those of us without gotway monster type EUCs? @Marty Backe do you happen to have a map of where we're going? Something like on http://www.mappedometer.com/ or http://onthegomap.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm just curious, Do you think we can make all the way to the seal beach and come back? Seems not too far from your turning point looking at the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like on http://www.mappedometer.com/ or http://onthegomap.com? I have a Google Earth track of the entire ride that I'll post here tonight. I suspect the only practical alternative would be to park one car at the midway point (a park) and stop there. You certainly don't need a Monster for this ride, but yeah, it is designed for an extended range EUC (KS16, KS18, ACM, MSuper, Monster). Any wheel with ~800wh battery should be able to do it (I've ridden it with my 820wh MSuper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun to do at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Count me in. And if your up to it, do you want to try out your new Msuper on that BrokeBacke hill in Chino on Saturday? We can find out if you're still in the doghouse with them Gotway Gods and I can test out the upgraded "World Famous ACM2040". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest I will walk whatever wheel I'm on partially up the hill, or take a few breaks on the ascent. Until Gotway makes fundamental changes to the wiring harness it's not worth it (to me) to stress the wiring. Remember the hill where your ACM wires broke? This one was steeper and probably twice as long. Our 28th anniversary is Saturday so I have other plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Are you still on for the Sunday ride? Maybe you'd feel better if you grab the monster and we revisit Cogswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't show some improvement by Saturday I may cancel, but I'd still like to make the ride if I can. I'll be on my Monster of course.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I don't even know what you're talking about, but it's quite alright with me! Hey! I just discovered the perfect sound loop for you to ride with, Marty my man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 The ride is still a go guys. Fortunately we don't need our hands to ride This is probably the best trail riding for me right now - all paved with no dirt/gravel to deal with. I don't want to fall when I only have use of one hand. See you at 9am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
