Hi Tim! Actually I did say hello. Do you recall the rather handsome, strapping rider who rode by as we were getting underway at the back of the pack and said "This must be the Rivendell section. I don't have one, but I have a Baggins. Will that do?" Yes, that was me! I'm always struck by what presence Rivendells have in person; if you appreciate well-made anything, you'll appreciate a Rivendell bicycle. The Joe in silver with the Dtt and the way you had it rigged looked super. Definitely would like to do this again next year, and definitely it would be great to get a bigger Riv flotilla!
