Zwift Challenge Ride # 10

Posted on by RunBikeMike

A few days ago I completed ride #10 on my adventure in riding all the routes available on Zwift. This ride was in the New York World and was the The 6 Train. This is a flat route that is 4 miles long. It was a nice easy ride and I needed that after running for the two day before this ride.

Backpack Mini Kicker Ramp

HOW TO BUILD A BACKPACK MINI KICKER RAMP: Bring Your Mountain Bike Kicker Ramp Anywhere

This weeks video is at Walnut Springs. I wanted to build a mini kicker ramp to practice jumping but I wanted it to be portable. Seth’s bike hacks built a mini kicker several year ago that seemed to be the perfect height.

Here is his video: https://youtu.be/4j2JnSnCsPU

However it didn’t have a way to hold it. I wanted to improve on his design. Check out the latest Walnut Springs video to see how I made this ramp and also how I made it portable.

Zwift Challenge Ride # 9

Posted on by RunBikeMike

Today I took on the Yorkshire Royal Pump Room 8 Route. This was 16.9 miles and is rated the highest on the level 2 in the list of difficulty. The levels are rated by difficulty in distance and elevation. So it was nice to knock off a higher difficulty ride. With around 1700 ft in elevation gain.

Quick Shred at Sac River on the Red Loop

Posted on by RunBikeMike

Today I am riding the Red Loop out at Sac River located just north of Springfield MO. This trail was established in 1996. The trail has a classic hand dug feel to it. It has skinny single track that has rocky section and root filled sections.

The old school feel to Sac River really makes it fun. Most trail system are trying to be more flow and jumpy but not Sac River. It is a great trail to get in a nice ride and to enjoy the Ozarks.

Build Time: Ariens IconX Zero Turn Chute Blocker

Posted on by RunBikeMike

In my latest build time video I show you how I built a chute blocker for my Dads Ariens IconX 52 inch zero turn lawn mower. It has about $60 worth of parts in it.

See the YouTube Video Here: HOW I BUILT AN ARIENS IconX ZERO TURN CHUTE BLOCKER: Building a custom mower chute blocker

If you want to build one you will need the following tools:

– Welder, angle grinder, drill, tap and die set.

The metal you need is a sheet of 1/4 inch thick steel for the handle, the height adjusting plate, and the base to mount it to the mower. You will also need a 3 foot long 1 1/4 14g steel square tubing. Get a 5/16 steel rod also. Along with all that you will need to get several bolts and locking nuts.

These are not detailed instructions as each build will be different for each mower and for the parts you can find locally.
