Love the new bridge

Love the new bridge

Royston to Comox for lunch today. Before this bridge it was hard to get a good 20-30 km ride in without doing laps. We tried crossing at 5th once but getting onto the bridge on the west side is hair raising. So instead of riding the greenway loop or QB-Parksville-Coombs-QB today we had lunch in Comox. Really looking forward to seeing what's next for active travel in Courtenay.
I would really like to see that unused rail line made into a trail from Parksville to Courtenay. Keep up the good work Bob Wells & Council.

Enviolo To Rohloff

So the Enviolo on my ICE Adventure HD went south at 7200 km. There seems to be an availability issue that meant 9 months wait or pay 3/4 of the price for a new Rohloff. I think the hardest part was making sure I was getting exactly the right one and the proper parts to go with it. Once I was sure I used a local LBS to supply the new hub and build the wheel. Fitting it to the trike was pretty straightforward and the shifter install wasn't a big deal.
I had it out for a short ride and I will miss the auto shifting but probably not for long. I love the expanded gear range. The freewheel noise seems really loud after an Enviolo but I'm sure it gets better, maybe it's percussive enough to cut though ear buds?
If you find yourself in a similar situation This seems like a good option and it wasn't as difficult as you might think from posts you find.

Chromebook

It seems the app has stopped working on Chromebooks again since the last update. Has anyone else noticed? I commented about it not working in the survey a few months ago and it started working again but this morning it just keeps crashing.
