The photos almost make me miss the southland. Geographic elitism aside, it looks like the trip was a raging success. There have been so many inspiring meet-ups this year. I imagine there'll be a few more before the weather turns (more for some, less for others... in regard to weather turning)

[RBW] Re: Happy Birthday Tommy!

I haven't known Tommy as long or been on as many adventures with him as you have Manny, but I certainly feel fortunate to have crossed paths with him. One of my favorite things about Rivendell are the people I've met in real life as a result of the list here. Tommy is one of those people. FWIW

[RBW] Re: Portland: Eastside triple bump tour?

Is this a done deal, Chris? I've got calendaring demons knocking at my door. I need to get triple bumps on my calendar if I'm to remain available triple-bump-able on the 28th. --Smitty On Friday, August 9, 2013 10:51:48 PM UTC-7, Christopher Chen wrote: > > Anyone up for a ride up and down Powe

[RBW] DIY Pedal Spike Installation - Grip Kings

Feeling a bit arty and quasi helpful... and a package of recently ordered pedal spikes were sitting on the work bench waiting to be installed into some Grip Kings. It was a perfect storm of sorts. The camera came out and the drill press was plugged in. Not that installing pedal spikes is rocke

[RBW] Re: A Librarian and her Betty Foy

Always fun to hear/read of another's bike/Riv story. I've had first hand knowledge of a couple newspaper and magazine articles over the years and they've all had factual errors. Makes you wonder what other errors are slipping in there on more important matters. --Smitty On Wednesday, Septemb

[RBW] Re: SF Randonneurs Fall Populaire Report/Photos

Looks like a great ride. No Rando events for me this year, although I'm thinking I'll do the Verboort Populaire in Nov. --Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from

Would love to ride but Friday's not in the cards for me. Have fun. --Smitty On Monday, September 16, 2013 4:24:35 PM UTC-7, Eric Norris wrote: > > I'll be in Portland, OR, on Friday, with bike in hand and plans to do a > ride along the Columbia River. Anybody interested in joining me, or who has

[RBW] Re: LA Bump Ride.

I enjoy the city and the country experience. I always had a bike when I lived in the southland, but my range was quite small. Seeing all the pics from the LA, OC and SD areas make me realize how much I missed. One of my favorite things about this list are the range of environs people are riding

[RBW] Wasco County Country Bike Ramble v2.0... Oct 12

ion. I hope it goes without saying that we certainly would love to have Country Bikesters from anywhere join us. I have room at my house in Portland if anyone needs a place to rest while traveling to or from this ride. Specifics on time/place to meet TBD and will be announced here. --Andy

[RBW] Re: Wasco County Country Bike Ramble v2.0... Oct 12

Sorry, Allen. The 12th is fixed. Riding in the party van over there sounds like a blast, but moving the date creates other problems. Leaf Slayer and I have already talked about heading east in the spring. Will make sure you're in on the ground floor for that one. --Smitty -- You received thi
