We've got to find a good long hill where we can watch. I went with some people from LA last year to the top of a grade somewhere out maybe in Ventura County. It was a circus & a lot of fun. The actual race group goes by so quickly, even on a steep grade, it's pretty amazing. But it's one of those "getting there is half the fun" gigs.
The course is probably posted & we can figure it out. Coming up soon. dougP -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 1:06 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Re: Meet a new Rivendellian today!
