First off, a bit of an introduction of myself since I'm a newbie to this Google group thing...
Hello, my name is Colville Griffith and I live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I've been a fan of Rivendell for quite a few years ever since stumbling across them while doing bicycle searches on the interwebs back some time around 2013 I believe. Upon first learning about them, I purchased Grant's book "Just Ride" and was so happy to finally see I wasn't alone! I was immediately fascinated, and my love for Rivendell began. I continued to ride vintage steel bicycles, (Bridgestone's, some old era built Schwinn Klunkers, etc.) but have finally recently purchased my first Rivendell. A Ro5co Bubb3 and I am extremely excited since I got to ride one recently and see what the feeling is really like, it was a Cheviot and was glorious. I also see an Atlantis in my future since I've wanted one of those since I first learned of Rivendell, but after riding the step through I knew I had to own one of them first. So the real reason for this thread... I recently rode with a group named L.U.B.E here in Charlotte and really enjoyed the ride. I wanted to invite others along in the Rivendell community, so thought I would put the word out there for anyone in the surrounding area that could attend. The people are great, and the ride is really enjoyable. The ride is led by a gentlemen named Zack, great guy! Here are some ways to find out about the ride, and if I can remember I will post up dates etc. here in this thread. Social Media: Instagram-- @lube_clt Facebook-- LUBE - Leisurely Urban Bicycle Explorations Like I mentioned above, Zack runs the thing as far as I can tell, but I just wanted to share the word of a nice ride, with some good people. Maybe I'll see you there if you're in the area? So far the rides have been mostly on Saturday mornings. They also have the coolest vintage graphic designs for their ride ads :)) I'll add one on this thread if I can figure it out lol Another good place that hosts some great events is The Spoke Easy here in Charlotte, check them out for a good time as well! A few people I'd like to thank for introducing me to the group here and informing me more about Rivendell... First off the wonderful people that work at Rivendell, particularly the ones I've spoken too most, Grant, James, Will, Thank you! The Non employees but just as important to me, Leah with her beautiful Red Platypus... and Pam, for letting me ride one of her lovely Rivendell's here locally : ) You all are wonderful people! Hope to see more delightful Rivendell bicycles out here in marvelous North Carolina! Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
