Manny: "...the horrible time you had." BUT you kept the shutter clicking, & captured the essence of your adventure. Had you not posted anything & word leaked out about a trip so bad you wouldn't talk about it, THAT would be cause for alarm! Just seeing Chin's backpack was painful. He look

As always, I enjoyed looking through your photos and vicariously experiencing your trip. Is that a shoelace in the closeup shot of your kickstand plate? -Donald- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this gro

The worst rides have indelible lessons. They hold vivid details and lessons to recall, some because of injury, others for the trials they presented which were overcome. The good news is that no one was hurt (done that: still crisp 12 years later) and you got home, kit intact, to tell of it. St

I have had a few rides gone wrong like that before. Normally they seem terrible as it is happening, but as weeks pass it seems less bad. Here is a quote from Yvon Chouinard I like “The word adventure has gotten overused. For me, adventure is when everything goes wrong. That’s when adventure s

Och, Manny! I'm sorry you didn't get to see the supermoon. Here is my arrogant input: Weather's purpose is to challenge our fortitude and reveal weaknesses in our clothing/gear. From that standpoint, you had a fantastic trip on at least one count, and if you know how you want to shore up your g
