Going along with what the others said, this weekend was the first time most of us had met each other, and by the end of the first night, brought together by a shared passion, we all felt like old friends. There were so many firsts for me on this trip: first S240 with the bike, mini tour and Ramble, and first meet up with a few more Rivendell Brothers
Most of my documentation happened off-the-bike at el Churro or during and during short snack brakes. Here's my photo set from the Ramble : http://www.flickr.com/photos/coconutbill/sets/72157634848441291/ Thank you's to Hugh for the excellent drive's up and down the coast, shared stories, and various forms of encouragement! Doug, you are a sage-like, map toting, trail guru; thanks for picking such interesting routes and leading us on an excellent Ramble. Jim, I envy your proto-Hunq despite it being more than 20cm too tall for me. Hugh dubbed you the Rivendell Historian, and I'd have to agree; thanks for the delicious foods, beer, and Bridgestone Mountain Bike overview and good conversation. Mike, you are a scholarly dude with a classy adventure vehicle. Glad we could meet; thanks for the delightful conversation! Manny , you brought such a positive energy to the group. Thanks for your dad's squid, Kev's coffee, the mojo, for trading bikes, and suggesting this event! Can't wait to continue the Ramble next year. tune in , turn on, drop out for the California invasion Ramble in 2014. with a new found inspiration, Evan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
