What did you do to your bike today?

TurtleShifter:
I just use WD40 after washing/drying the bike/chain. Thought the purpose of the X/O ring chains was to keep grease in and other elements out. Or are you talking about non X/O ring chains?

Correct, if you are running an X or O ring chain you do not want to run my method or soak it in Kerosene either.

Wait, johnrunner said you guys did 100, did you take a short cut back to the truck or did they get lost?

Well when we got back to the trucks, I noticed and mentioned to Palmer and Johnrunner my battery had died on my GPS. (I should have put new batteries in before :doh:

) I had got the low battery warning a couple of times during the trip. I last remembered looking at the GPS with about 10 miles left of the ride and it was still on. So now I'm back at home, I was able to hook my GPS to BaseCamp and see exactly where it stopped tracking. Here are a couple of images of the ride we took.

This is the whole loop we did.

This is where the GPS died and missed the following miles.

According to Garmin's BaseCamp, it died with about 4.11 miles remaining till the finishing point. So my 97 miles, plus 4 miles, comes out to a total of 101 miles.

The roll chart has it listed at 107 miles, but we didn't take all the routes it had, we took a couple of side trails of our own at Silverwood.
