I rarely do group rides but made an exception years back since the ride was going to go through some backroads on Camp Pendleton USMC base here and I’d always wanted to see what was back there behind what you can see from I5.
I rode the ride on my All Rounder that had the large Hoss saddlebag on the back. I was no doubt wearing wool and probably knickers. At the ride start someone came up to me and said “Wow! You’re right out of the catalog.”

Sent from my iPhone Snob’s post of today linked to one from 5 years ago, which contained these remarks:
Thirdly–and perhaps most importantly–I recognize that there’s fundamentally no difference between what Specialized and Rivendell are doing, in that both are essentially selling premium two-wheeled recreation to middle-aged people of means…though arguably Rivendell’s approach is far more dignified if, like most middle-aged people, you don’t have the fitness of a professional athlete. Even then, there’s still a sound argument to me made that an over-Riv’ed rider looks just as silly as an over-Lycra’ed one, because if you wear too much of that MUSA stuff at once you’ll wind up looking like Robin Hood: ![]() Patrick Moore, middle-aged (I wish!) person of means, owner past and present of 6 Rivendells, in ABQ, NM.
