Jim: We missed you. More than once we needed your expertise regarding a Rivendell question. We had a great time, with a total of 9. David G arrived in the middle of the night. When I went to sleep, our group was 8 & in the AM it was 9. Good bunch of people on an interesting mix if bikes, including the extremes (maybe?) in Hilsen sizing.
More rides are in the works already. San Diego appears to have reached critical mass & they were developing several options. Looking forward to spending time there. dougP On Friday, August 23, 2013 11:08:37 AM UTC-7, James Warren wrote: > > Probably not gonna make it.
