    Take it to a mechanic or DIY?

    They show me how silly I am for not bringing it in sooner lol. A $100 job turns into $700 LOL

    Do you use a chamois lubricant?

    I used it on my past couple of century rides. It helped.

    What's on your cycling wish list?

    I also really want a cycling computer. I can't decide if I want to get the Garmin 840 or the 1050. I want something touchscreen and with color. The 1050 has a lot of cool features but it's not very cheap.

    Mountain Biking in the Summer

    Probably a copperhead. I see a lot of them on the Tunnel Hill Trail. Saw a huge one the other day along with a mud snake. Had to stop for both of them LOL but I'm a snake guy!

    Take it to a mechanic or DIY?

    Do you take your bike to the mechanic if you need it worked on or do you repair it yourself?

    Do you use a chamois lubricant?

    The chafe is real for some of us. If I ride over 60 miles, I have to apply a lubricant to my chamois or I'll be in some pain! I use Chammy Butt'r and love it. What do you use? Anything better I should be using?

    What's on your cycling wish list?

    What is on your "to buy" or "wish I could buy" list for cycling? I'd love to get a new mountain bike and a couple of eBikes for fun riding for me and wife. How about you? Doesn't have to be a bike. Could be a bike product :)

    Cycling and Camping: Best Spots for an Overnight Adventure

    I think those spots would be a great start. Of course, I'm hoping to eventually get into more "wild camping" on the bike. I've considered trying to bikepack around Ozark area and riding to Jackson Falls and camping there.

    Is Southern Illinois missing out on organized rides?

    I prefer riding alone or with one or two more people. It's not that I'm anti-social. My fear is drafting. I'm afraid of wrecking.
