Steve,
You can go to their picture site and scroll thru the pics to see the Rivendell
riders. There is a guy on a blue custom, a guy with orange Alba-borne doing
some standing pedalling, and me on Bleriot. Haven't seen any others yet. It is
alot of pics to scroll through.

It was just wonderful on Sunday. Weather was fine right up until it

hot sun, just pleasant; and it was a fantastic ride.

The decision point for the half-metric came right after the first rest

At that point, having left at 7:10 or 7:15, I was just pulling into the

I'm 60/40 "in" right now. I figure if I roll out by 7:30 or so that I can
(maybe) get a quick few hours of riding in before the rain really comes.
Haven't looked into bailouts to the shorter routes, but that's likely a
possibility if things get hairy, too.
Plus, I just reverted to my trusty ol'
And if it were sunny, I still wouldn't do this ride again. Did it about 6 years

Would be a much better ride in early October.

Back in the day, they didn't have a total rider limit and they allowed
pacelines. After several years with a number of bad crashes, they
decided to cut back on the number of riders and actively discourage
pacelines. Bike VA bans pacelines for the same reason. Pacelines may

I was glad to see that they discouraged pacelines in their mailer.
I guess after the ride I'll have to hose off any mud from the inside of my

I'm with Kevin and will definitely be monitoring the weather leading up to

Late notice, but I have an extra registration if anyone wants it.
