Hey Bobby,
Looking forward to possible RivRally East. I'll keep watching for dates
and places in future threads, so I can add to a fast filling summer
schedule.
Cheers,
Rusty

Yes, back in the 70s they were planning to build the (ill-fated) Tocks Dam
and create a massive reservoir/recreational area. It thankfully never
happened, and in the mean time the Dept of the Interior had bought up all
the cabins/houses within the reservoir's planned 'footprint', forcing

Back in the 70s they were saying they were going to let Old Mine Road

think I recall us crossing the river into PA and going up to some falls

The Delaware Water Gap actually is a great choice for a 2-day ride,
light-touring credit card style. I did it one weekend 2 years ago, where
we started at the Water Gap (on the PA side), rode across the Rte 80 bridge
to NJ, then up the historic Old Mine Road to Milford PA along the Dela

Hey Bobby, I'm going to try to make it in 2013, especially if it's in
Western Jersey. My Dad lived for years in Frenchtown, on the Delaware.
Great rides on both sides of the river...

Riv Rally East is a weekend ride. The first one was in May 2011 with a
handful of riders converging on Wellsboro, PA for 2 days of scenic loops in
the Pine Creek Gorge area. In 2012 a larger group assembled in Cumberland,
MD for a 2-day point to point ride along the Great Allegheny Pass

Well, the shifting is pretty good, but I think I needed to use that

Jonathan, as others have said lovely bike. But how is the front

When I was younger 10 or 11 (42-52 or 53) seemed standard, then 14

How big a jump do you think is too much?

Beautiful bike... I'd expect nothing less than wooden tubulars! You still
sewing up your own tires? You've probably been doing that for, what... 40
years now??? (BTW come join us for Riv Rally East 2013 in May... stay

Just to echo--that is seriously one of the most beautiful Rivs I've seen.
I love the early Roads--they may not have a lot of functional elements that

rack/fender mounting, etc.--but proportionally and aesthetically, they just

Thanks for the compliments!
The big ring is a 44, so a 44x26 double (both chainrings are from TA), and
the 6 speed cassette is 13-14-16-18-21-24.
The 44x13 is a surprisingly big gear, especially with the larger tires, and
