Re: [RBW] Re: SoCal Riv May 1 Riv Ride; Photos

New to this list, but I see some people from other lists here too.  (Kog and
LHT)

Great ride report.  I was down at the Mt. Laguna Bicycle Classic a couple of
weeks ago and it was my first time in that area.  You SD people are very
lucky.  That looks like a great area to explore.  I'll be back there soon.

We are planning to go too.  We'll be coming from Alhambra.  We don't have
Rivs though, just a pair of LHTs.  We are wannabes still. :)
