      ​@@dasshorts7800 have you converted your Sherman to tubeless BTW? I have a much-shorter ranged wheel with a tire and tube and the process of fixing potential flats is something I should prepare for more honestly

    Thanks Dada for achieving my dream of going to Montauk (which i've never been able to do before leaving America for good) and it has been in dream since 2013. So thanks again.

    Racing is cool. Trail rides are good fun. For me long range rides like these are when the spirit of being a rider really shines.

    As you said, it's about naively, stupidly and optimiscally face the unknown and emerge more than you were 😊!

      @dasshorts7800  3 місяці тому

      Actually thought it was a pretty good wheel. I think you should pad it up so it’s protected when it drops during learning. I just don’t usually like very small wheels, but it’s more a preference thing than a statement on the quality of the wheel.

      We do.. for longer trips sometimes we bring patch kits, etc. We try to avoid the really bad areas, but it is a risk. Luckily, this route runs pretty close to the train so if anything happens, there’s a way home.

    • @dasshorts7800
      @dasshorts7800  11 місяців тому +1

      For longer rides, we usually prefer seated riding. But if we had to stand, yes the knees feel it at the end of the ride for sure! We try to stay away from the freeway. Most of the route takes us on the service road, but there is a section you see where we had to cross the main freeway to get to an exit to local roads. But that entire section was a few minutes long. Not really sure about the legality of these things on the freeway, but I think it depends on which one.

    • @dasshorts7800
      @dasshorts7800  11 місяців тому

      The lead broke the route into nice chunks. We charged every 2 hours roughly. And there were enough interesting tidbits along the path (like the Sherman tank) to keep us sane. But you’re right. Some other guys try to do the trip as fast as possible (instead of site seeing) and that makes for a boring ride.
