The peninsula is a great place to ride when it's too hot inland.
Let's not forget this one - James, don't hesitate to reminds us about
it.

I gather there are several folks out there who live in the San Francisco area.
I'm here for the week and could use advice on places to ride, and particular
the best way to get to the Golden Gate Bridge and into Marin. I'm staying near
the Embarcadero and am limited to rides of 10 or 15 miles
thanks for sharing rob. some of my favorite things about this list
(and others) are the clever hacks and tweaks folks come up with to
suit their riding needs.
very nice rodeo, btw!

hey andrew,
i'd recommend waiting, especially if you haven't decided on bars.
IME, all other things being equal, the noodles and moustache bars
require considerably different stem reaches/heights.
i've ridden everything from 7cm to 12cm nitto stems on my Rivs

Nice arrangement, and good intentions on minimizing the amount of

presumable the Acorn would as well. A bar tube is a good place for

I know that some of you out there are as in love with the Hobo bag
design as I am. On my Roadeo the Acorn version has been working
pretty well, but I wanted to tweak it a bit. I bought a nitto Lamp

expect. I mounted it with the acce

Southern Californians, Palos Verdes has a great dirt climb that is fun to do on

Were you the one that mentioned a PV dirt option a while back? That's

Not only is the loop around the Peninsula great, but we could mix in a great
dirt climb to the top of the Peninsula. Bring the 700x38's.
Also sorry I missed the 2/21 ride. It looked great. If not for broken ribs, I
would have joined.

Nice photos - looks like you guys had a fun time. We should do the
Palos Verdes Peninsula loop sometime. There's parking in Torrance to
the north & plenty of coffee opportunities. The basic loop on all the
streets with "Palos Verdes" in them is rolly but there's plenty of
climbing available, and
Thanks everyone! As everyone pointed out, they are 559's. I couldn't
check the sidewall b/c the bike was at the shop. I coulda waited but
was too impatient. I think it was the skinny (-ish) tires on a road
bike that threw'em.

This ride was neat as we (I) got to see a lot of LA that I never have
before. Exploring and learning about new areas is my favorite part of all
our rides! Here's Rick's summary of the day:

I have them. They are affordable and beautiful, and they work as well
as other hangers.

Really bummed I had to miss this one - looks like a lot of fun! Sorry
to hear about the ITB issues continuing. At least you had a good
group. The San Diego Bicycle Club warns beginning riders, "you'll be
dropped." Not so with the So Cal Riv Appreciation Society. I'll
start working on Ventura...
Blinkie/Rear mini rack brazes on the seat stays.
Seat tube or Seatstay pump mount.
Ditto on fork wire guides for computer/front dyno light.
3rd water bottle location is good for a spare tire holder
on tour.

The 650b A. Homer Hilsen, just might be the ultimate country bike.
Since I live in a rural area, it serves me very well. Mine is, as you
guessed, smaller. It's a 56.
