Mark, that's funny-- I used to ride with the ABC guys, too (but not in about 8 or more years now). I remember the president being a really tall guy named Doug. He rode one of those wacky Ti Colnago's with the double down tube and there was a mix of what I'd consider Bobish types and common Freds. I, at the time was an absolute Fred in the heyday of my racing days so I was always amused by the "old" dudes on the old bikes ...
As for the unsolicited comments: it wasn't until I bought my first 650b bike and read some of the cyclotouring/rando history articles in BQ that I came to realize just how little I really knew about cycling. Last time I did a club ride (three summers ago) I was on my "old" Giant TCR and 23's. I had already drank the 650b x 42 cool aid at that point but was at the shore and bored and figured what the hell .... well, the group leader (a bike shop manager) gave me grief over not having my tires inflated enough. I took a deep breath and thought "wow, really?" and proceeded to discuss the pro trend towards bigger tires (like, even 25's) -- he thought I was crazy but I insisted bigger tires were in his future as a shop guy. The blank stare back was priceless … -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
