TrikerJon

Hi, my name is Jon(Triker Jon). I ride a 2016 ICE Adventure HD recumbent trike with full suspension and an e- trike conversion or as I refer to him, Hank the Tank. I've been a cyclenut about 4 years and toured in Ohio, Maryland, Delaware & West Virginia. Some great times. I'm looking forward to Bikation 2025, making new friends, and seeing some old ones. With the new schedule I'll need to leave the tour for four or five days to attend my class reunion in Branson, MO but I plan to return to finish with the group. See you soon.

A participant conversation

  A participant conversation.  >They said, How are you doing?   Thanks for the update on the ride.  I was just about to purchase an e-bike.  I'll keep looking.  I think that I can make the first week in June as I planned in May.  I was curious but it's less timely now, what do you plan for food?  Carry breakfast food, have snacks for lunch or stop and fix supper or plan on a place to eat.  I guess this could vary day by day by starting out with a few meals on board. >I said, Hiya! On the last 600 mile BIKATION, I packed pounds of food to cook at camp. Most of it returned home with me.   Me and Pete found it more enjoyable to roll into a McDs curbside spot for dinner at the end of riding all day and even pick up a couple of pies for the next mornings breakfast. A couple of days, we even scored a last chance pizza shop.  The most beneficial foods on board were Tang, tortilla bread, foil packs of tuna, honey, and peanut...

Introducing me and Pete the poodle

 Hello. I am Jef - a fat guy who rides a fat ebike and tours with a phat poodle named Pete, who isn't really fat at all.  CycleNuts is my ongoing project of passion. Bikations are its latest connotation - long-distance cycle touring vacations.  My rig is FATSO 2, a 2024 SMLRO XDC 600 plus - a two-wheel drive 2,000-watt fat tire ebike, which is replacing FATSO, 1 a 2020 SMLRO XDC 600, now retired just because a cyclist can never have too many bikes... right? Modifications are super chunky Hummingbird tires, Mr Tuffy tire liners, Yun self-sealing inner tubes, Drift Maniac 11-34T freewheel, Minoura front pannier rack, 21Ah rack battery wired in with a dual battery balancer. There's more stuff, but that's the basic setup. FATSO's GVW with me and Pete aboard was 410 pounds. FATSO 2 probably will be similar - less stored food and water will probably be offset by more motor and a bit more battery - and I am ten pounds lighter this year. The first Bikation took place in 2023 - ...
