I finally got my collection together from this top-5-alltime ride yesterday. Huge thank you to Doug and Noel for creating the route that I want to do again soon:

And the middle of the ride had a mexican restaurant stop with beer on a great patio in a shady canyon with amazing people. In the second half of the ride, there was lots of fun singletrack! And when we were done in San Juan Capistrano (riding on appealing roads without car traffic almost up to the last pedal stroke) our path took us right up to the train boarding point so that each of us could either get home or back to our cars on Metrolink in under an hour (15 minutes back to Irvine for me.) I don't know how you can have a more perfect day on the bike. We even weighed our bikes at a shop enroute. I have a feeling we were hoping for high numbers. Mine came in at 44 lbs. or so. The lowest was Noel's at 33 lbs, and the greatest was 49.5 lbs. Curtis wins! All the bikes were loaded to varying degrees. Curtis's riding made me a firmer believer in the downplaying of bike weight. -Jim W. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
