Is there anyone in Pittsburgh commuting distance, who has a Betty or Cheviot? I have finally convinced a good friend and riding partner to consider getting her first Riv, but she would like to try riding one before making a purchase decision. She is sure she wants a step through frame, and

[RBW] Can't wait for the temps to change..

I've officially given up wishing for warmer weather to arrive. It has been decided, here and now, that I am loading the Hillborne into the car, and heading to Florida. I plan on arriving in the Jupiter/West Palm area on about the 14th. I am hoping to ride a multi day north on the A1A, and a

[RBW] Re: How cold was your first day ride?

Rode the annual, Icicle Bicycle in Pittsburgh. An uncharacteristic 30 degrees at 10am on a partly cloudy day. Rode my Sam to BigDog Coffee for loaded oatmeal, and a cappuccino with some friends. Only 14.5 miles, but a very nice start to the new year. Rusty On Wednesday, January 1, 2014

[RBW] Re: Winter Delaware Water Gap trip

I've been thinking about this ride since Joan posted in the spring. May, or even early June would be great. Sign me up! Rusty On Sunday, November 24, 2013 4:02:35 PM UTC-5, BIKIE46 wrote: There's not nearly enough Right Coast content here, so I wanted to chime in with the story this trip

[RBW] Re: Pittsburgh night ride

Hi Andy, Great write up on the tuesday ride through Pittsburgh. Nice pics too! I ride these trails/roads/paths a few times a month, and was vicariously riding along with you. Did you go up 18th street to get to Mt Washington? I've seen the notices for the tuesday evening rides, but have not

[RBW] Re: Randonnerding totally loaded in Vermont and New Hampshire

Hi Matt, What a great set of pictures! My family and I spent 2 weeks in the Newport area a couple of years back, and loved the cycling and kayaking. I've always wanted to do a bike tour in the area, and now you've got that itch going again! Rusty Click Pittsburgh, PA On Tuesday, September 24

[RBW] Re: Crazy Idea: Riv National Jamboree

I cast my vote for the Bay Area. I like the Riv anniversary connection, and I can make it an opportunity to visit my sister out east of Walnut Creek. Not to mention, some nice wineries and brew pubs! I hope this comes together, and would be willing to come out early to help, if needed. On

[RBW] Re: RBW April S24O - My account (long with photos in the beginning...)

Thanks for the great ride report, and the pics! I plan on being out in the fall, and if the gods are smiling, my visit may overlap one of these weekend rides. At the very least, I'll stop by Riv HQ to ogle some bikes, and maybe even borrow one for a ride around Walnut Creek. Rusty Click

[RBW] Natchez Trace ride

My friend Ed and I decided to stretch out of our S24O comfort zone, and planned to ride the Natchez Trace, end to end. We were camping, but had another friend willing to drive a support van for us, which ultimately turned our ride from an ordeal, into a positive learning experience. We had

[RBW] Re: Little Big Ben first impressions

Hello Eric, I'm also looking at putting the Lil Ben's on my Hillborne. Do they come close to the advertised 700X38? I know the Schwalbe Greenguards I'm running are closer to 35's. BTW, that's a great looking set-up you have there! Cheers, Rusty On Saturday, April 6, 2013 9:13:53 PM UTC-4,

[RBW] Re: Big Apples for GAP and CO tour

They may be slow, but only if you're doing this ride in 4 days. In that case, speed might matter. We've done this ride a handful of times, in both directions, and over different time frames. I highly recommend it. You'll have a great time. The scenery and history of the area is wonderful.
