Patrick, what I was thinking, is why not have a Ti "country bike" racer. Ti
or CF, but with fatter tires and and extra chainring. So weight isn't a
problem (ok, maybe an extra few hundred grams for the tires, extra ring,
rear derailer). This bike would allow the athlete to ride with more comfort

Yes! Last minute invite to all interest folks... Great ride planned up the
OC coast, from Oceanside to Dana Point.
Meeting at a leisurely 10:00 at Oceanside Transit Center. Any and all are
welcome!

Yes, agreed, agreed, and agreed. I would only add, what I wanted to say
originally (although didn't state it explicitly) was how 'bout racing on a
17.5lbs "country race bike". Fatter tired and some lower gears. Just
enough so the racer isn't punished (as much!), but can instead transmit that

Michael, tandems are wonderful! They equalize riding between unequal
riders, so there's no waiting or hard feelings or anyone getting exhausted.
If you and your wife ride at the same level (speed & endurance) it's not as
big a deal, but if one is significantly stronger, it's the only way to enjoy
Joan, sounds like a PERFECT ride! Glad to hear you got dragged out there
and did it! :-)

Wow, can't say enough how beautiful that is, with a smashing good mix of new
and NOS components!

Another one in the can. 60 miles on the beach is hart to beat, just
sayin'. Ride left Oceanside, making its way through Camp Pendleton, then
past Trestles along old PCH and into San Clemente. From there it's probably
80% bike path (mixed terrain!) to Doheney State Beach. Hung out there
