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
wasn't, and it was very comfortable - delightful, even. No unrelenting
hot sun, just pleasant; and it was a fantastic ride.

So, how did it work out for you?
The decision point for the half-metric came right after the first rest
stop, at around mile 12. The weather didn't get bad until around noon.
At that point, having left at 7:10 or 7:15, I was just pulling into the
last rest stop. I think I saw only 2 other bi
Canti-borne! Looks nice! Actually that fender line looks pretty good!
Glad you went. I was thinking thatve been too bad to bail because the rain was
not bad and added to the fun since it was only at the end part of the ride.

I started at about 7:10. Rain started for me on the full metric route

miles and then stopped; started again about 2 miles from the end,
stopped as I arrived at the finish at around 1 pm; started again in

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
ago, and the one major downside is very little shade on the route. Most of the
roads through open fields, and a hot sun is unrelenting.
Would be a much better ride in early October.

Weather forecast is not getting any better for tomorrow on the route. I'm
moving my status to questionable. I really don't mind riding in the rain on
occasion but I'm not sure I'm keen to ride in predicted thunderstorms all
day.

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
be just dandy for
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
fenders.
I'll have to remember to unscrew the lid before drinking from my water bottles.

I'm registered but, regretfully, will probably bail. The NOAA website is
predicting rain and a 70% chance of thunderstorms around Lancaster
beginning about 9:00 a.m. on Sunday. I have no desire to repeat my
experience from last year's Civil War Century.

Another good point, Steve. I must've looked at the wrong cue sheet a little
while back since they hadn't posted the route. Sorry for floating the
misinformation out there.

Good points Steve. I tend to be a get out there and ride guy and like to

I think it is a Trek. It has a Rivish stem though and bullhorn bars with the

On Fri,
I've talked about doing this for years (only 45 min drive away), but
just never followed through. Thanks for the heads-up, John. I'll get
it on the calendar.
If I can make it, I'll either ride my Atlantis or my Prodigal-Rambouillet.
