A bunch more photos uploaded by IEBA board-member Norman: http://www.flickr.com/groups/redlands-strada-rossa/pool/ These give you a real good idea of all the different areas the ride went through. And yes, I am trying to sell it to y'all for next year! I love the fact there was a solid Rivendell

Those red Atlantii are becoming a thing! You were sincerely missed, Jim! Especially when having pizza and beer Friday night. Oops, I wasn't going to mention that, sorry... BTW, I was out today erasing the trail markings, and was amazed by how little wear on the trails there was. Here is a sharp tu

Well done. It's great to see yet another assembly of exceptional people. Missing this is a bit hard to take. Yesterday, a work thing genuinely had me saying, "this thing I'm doing for work is pretty cool, and I'm pretty lucky." Now, David's Redlands report has me grumbling, "damn job..." Hey a

Thank you Doug, and thank you to everyone that was able to make it out for this. Doug, Curtis, Esteban, Evan, Aaron, Ian, Paul, Rob, Mike... what a fantastic showing. Between 130 and 150 riders showed up. The most diverse group of bikes on any ride I've been on. Full basket and Alba-fied Rivs, MCR

Strada Rossa in Redlands was an event worthy of annual status. I couldn't ride the course but got to spend some time exploring downtown Redlands, a wonderful city with plenty of local businesses. The apres' ride party featured music, food, beer & bikes. Equipment was everything from serious

A heads up that only five spaces are left. We originally set the size to 100 riders, but raised it to 150 last week. In the last 24 hrs about 30 people have signed up. If you were on the fence and thinking about it, better make that decision fast! Registration page here: http://www.iebikingal

Figured I'd chime in. There is Burbank Airport. It's a 15 to 20 minute easy drive from my house. I could pick you up depending on your arrival date and time. Say you flew in on a Friday you can hang your hat overnight at our home then we can drive out the next morning really early or I could pick

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!

That extra 60 minutes could be optimistic. Even if correct, those are 60 high stress minutes if you are driving or someone picking you up. Best escape from LAX is one of several bus services. dougP On Sunday, January 12, 2014 6:14:01 PM UTC-8, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: > > ONT has dropped

United and Southwest fly to Burbank. Not a billion miles closer than LAX, but a much friendlier airport to visit. Jeff Hagedorn Warragul, VIC Australia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!

ONT has dropped a lot of flights, including many from big hubs. PSP at the same time is ramping up the # of flights. PSP is supposed to be a nice little airport as well. But if you can get to Ontario, it's closer and hopefully cheaper. LAX is only another 60 minutes away, but that's a whole other s

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!

Palm Springs tends to be more expensive to fly into, and there are fewer carriers. Southwest flies out of Ontario, so it's easier to get to. Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Jan 10, 2014, at 8:56 PM, cyclotourist wrote: > > Yes, what Doug said. But

Yes, what Doug said. But PS is very much adding a lot of flights. It's the "it" airport in SoCal right now. LAX is cheapest, but another hour away. Cheers, David "it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride." - Seth Vidal On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 8:50 PM, dougP wrote: > Ontario is closest but s

Ontario is closest but service has cut way back the last few years. Palm Springs? Mmmm, not so sure how far you can get from there. Santa Ana / John Wayne has service to Denver. If you want to ship a bike, we can work out someplace to receive it & send back. dougP On Friday, January 10
