Keen does make similar shoes with cleat-attachments, and sandals like that too,

Glad everyone had fun. Looks like a nice group of people, great
weather and a great route.
Just a general shout-out to group members, if you're ever in Portland
drop me a line and we can go for a ride.

Agree on the beauty of a versatile bike. I'm getting more and more
enchanted with the inherent versatility of each of my Rivs.
Don't hate me because I live in the Bay Area. At 8AM it's already
bright sun, crystal blue skies, and already in the high 60s. It could
be perfect. Being indoors shoul
All hail the Atlantis! It really is a great bike. I regret not picking
up a 64cm when they were still somewhat readily available. I really
hope Riv never stops making that and the Hilsen. They may introduce
other frames in years to come but those two just seem like the
quintessential Rivendells.

You'd be most welcome, and the drive would certainly be doable.
Being a senior (to me) only means that you've got a bit more wisdom
(and jokes) than the rest of us... But I'm 52 years old (senior
enough, right?) and would hope we'd also get a few younger enthusiasts
to join. The only criteria
It's clear to me that that same body could be used to make just about
any kind of pedal. That U that I bent is pretty much a toe clip and
strap type cage. I might remove the front grippy thing and put on a
toe clip or half-clip and see how that works out. The grip king back
end would make for a
It was a great time, thanks to Noel for lighting the fuse on this,
sorry to hear you are under the weather.
Pics are up, captions, adding to groups etc., and a full write up on
my site later tonight.

James, thanks for the complement on
That sounds great. I'd be interested, though I'm in Michigan. Being
retired, I could manipulate my time pretty easy.
Will there be a "Senior" division?

Yes, I knew you were in PA... That's great, I'll add you to the

start.)
And the C&O Canal is definitely a great idea, and one that has long
been on my list. For that I'd really like to consider at least 4-7
days, though
A bit of a counterpoint on S&S. I've never regretted getting my bike
with couplers ...
I've never been charged extra for my S&S coupled bike. No one has
ever even asked what's in the box. They ask if there is anything
fragile, and the answer is "no". I realize this is a "YMMV" type
thing -- I
I would be up for that, and hopefully will have a new Bombadil to
carry me along. Home is South-Central PA, but I work in Chicago, so
advance planning will be critical. Another East coast fun-on-a-Riv-
ride would be the C&O Canal tow-path. I have not had the chance to do
that but it's on my list.
Another 110/74 crankset I wish Sugino would re-make: the XP. (The AT
was a great crank too) IMHO, one of the most beautiful ever. Sort of a
C-record triple. I'll be using the only one I have on my Bombadil,
along with TA Zephyr rings as a nod to another beautiful lost crankset
I would like to own.
