Gravel with the Girlfriend

It was high time we try some gravel roads so I took Ann over to New Milford to try some climbing and real dirt roads and I figured this would be a good time to test ride the new Cross Check.

My second Surly Cross Check

I picked up this 2010 Surly Crosscheck, used, at Base Camp in Killington during my second visit to the area back in early February 2024. I had been looking for another Cross Check for the longest time and I was about to settle on another steel frame when I found this one. It’s a 60 cm frame with an uncut steering tube giving me higher position on the bike which I really like. It's a 9 speed like my last one. In the future, I am going to make it a 10 speed with a wider range of gears.

Topstone Test Ride to OEC


Ann & I didn’t get to do much riding in January 2024 due to winter returning to Southern New England and us spending time together in Killington. We finally got back out for a ride on the Larkin Trail in the early part of February and she finally got to test out her new Topstone.
