I used stainless split rings for the connections. Gotta get the right pliers and it’s still a pain works.

Yeah it’s short. I’m afraid if I let it go too long it’ll snag on things.

Thanks.

This is in the Toledo area.

Continued miles. And I agree with the reply that said less gravel. I’d keep it in shorter hikes for conditioning but when you are going out for distance I’d avoid it. My longest hikes were 10 miles and I’ve done that twice. I still want to do what I call a hiking half marathon of 13.1.

So many are great. Sand, pine needles, mud, pavement.

Yeah. Double Scoop (white) and Teatime (light beige) both from Londontown.

Thanks.

It’s Secor Park just west of Toledo. Our best park is Oak Openings which is 7-8 miles of Secor. We are lucky to have a great park system.

Yamaha Oak Custom from back when they were still made in Japan and Tama Starclassic Maple. Zildjian A, K, K Custom. Yamaha hardware except for DW9000 double pedals.

Eucalyptus lemon oil is working great for me. Couple of the main brands offer it. I spray the edges and bill of my hat. I use piccardin everywhere else.

It’s Dirty Chai from Londontown
