Gear Talk / Bianchi Volpe or Jamies Aurora

« on: November 09, 2008, 07:15:19 pm »

Hey all.  I'm looking to buy a new touring bike and it's down to the Bianchi
Volpe or the Jamis Aurora.  I rode a Volpe across the country last year,
but it was stolen.  The Jamis is a bit cheaper but seems like a good bike.  
Any thoughts on the two?

Thanks much,
JP

General Discussion / Biking from the West Coast in May: too early?

« on: January 06, 2009, 01:11:47 am »

Hey all.  I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on touring from the west coast, Seattle specifically, in early May.  Is it too early to brave the mountain passes?  We've had record snowfall this year to top it off.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much.
