Hi Mike. It was a fun trip. You know, I first started thinking about camping by bike when i came across this 2006 article in the San Francisco Chronicle:
http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Bike-camping-isn-t-as-hard-as-it-looks-Bay-Area-2515742.php Funny enough, there is a reference to Rivendell in there, plus some quotes from Grant. It was the first I had heard of Riv and I scoured the site regarding bike camping, and that's how I was introduced to the idea of the S24O. I still didn't do it as my bikes were beat-up old single-speeds, and I had no company. A friend on a car-camping trip overheard me talking about it, and it turns out he had been thinking about it for a while, too, and he had a garage full of older UJB-type bikes ready for retrofitting. Anyway, now he owns a Bleriot and I own a Quickbeam, and he and I have gone on many S24Os together. Now that I have a two-and-a-quarter year old son at home, I'm planning on amending the S24O to an S20O format. ;) Best regards, Lee On Wednesday, May 15, 2013 7:16:21 PM UTC-7, Mike Schiller wrote: > > wow Lee. that looked like an awesome trip. > > ~mike > > On Wednesday, May 15, 2013 9:02:37 AM UTC-7, Lee wrote: >> >> Doug, >> >> Planet of the Apes (a.k.a.
