Rivendell is doing this in front of your tent on Mt. Diablo..
But I really like the simile.
From: Philip Williamson
In summation: Rivendell is making food with friends and eating it on
your porch. Rapha is buying food with friends in a really cool
restaurant.
I've had good luck with Tubus racks.
I heard the Bruce Gordon ones are very nice too.

I personally think the Rapha thing represents something very good for
cycling, just like I think Rivendell represents something very good
for cycling. The thing they have in common, for me, is encouragement

Friends,
Is asking for tour route advice off topic? If so, I respectfully

I do a week long tour every summer. Past years have included:
-Minneapolis to Duluth (first "tour" ever. Simple, yet informative on
what touring is and can be)
-Oakland-SF-Marin-Sonoma-Napa loop. (credit card,
I haven't done such a tour, so I don't have a route for you--but I
have done STP a few times and suggest that you pick a different, more
scenic route.

There's a 63cm s&s coupled AHH on craigslist right
i already have a 63 ahh, and i love it. i just wanted to try out the
whole 650 thing. i have a 60 bombadil on the way. i have gone a bit
crazy with these bikes, though it is always nice to have bikes to
account for all the handle bar styles.

I could help you out with a 54. It's only 8cm short of the mark. I
think you'll enjoy the 650b ride when you find one your size, which
you will.

It rained. We came, we saw, we rode.
A dozen responded in the affirmative but only three of us actually showed up:

You're telling us that a little rain deterred cyclists from PORTLAND from
riding? And RIVENDELL cyclists, to boot? Well, there goes another of life's
truths down the proverbial drain.
If I wasn't 600 miles away, I would have been there in my Flying Pup Tent:

ducklings, and I've been cooking all day.

Funny Portland story.
I rode in the Worst Day of the Year ride in February with my friend
Christine.
We both had winterized bikes with full fenders.
In the middle of the ride we noticed that everyone was covered with mud
except us.
At the finish, we looked at the parked bikes.
We counted the f
I winced at the price. But, if they are as comfortable and easy to
get into as they look, it is something to consider.
