Not in Marin. I've seen lightning in the Bay Area... Five times in 38 years?

[RBW] Re: Riding in Marin

[Hetchins52]

You might want to do some gorgeous road miles by getting on Panoramic 
Highway and climbing up to Pantol Ranger Station then climbing some more 
and follow the ridge line (Ridgecrest) and then Bolinas-Fairfax Rd. down to 
Alpine Lake. From there, climb up toward Pine Mountain and descend into 
Fairfax. You can experience some more Marin ambience at the Fairfax coffee 
shops and eateries.
Wander back through Ross, Corte Madera and Mill Valley. You can take fire 
roads back to the Headlands.
This may take some help from passing cyclists but most would be happy to 
lead you if they are going the same direction.
Western Marin County is a wonderland for biking!

[RBW] Re: After Xmas Ride. 12/26 East Bay Mixed.

[Manuel Acosta]

If you were wondering if this happened:
http://flic.kr/s/aHsjDmNiB3

It did. Ended up getting to the wrong place after missing the Bart train. 
Started at North Berkeley patching up a flat. Good amount of climbing.  Mud 
wasn't sticking and the sun came out. Greg, Gordon and I ended at Sibley 
staging area and met up with Ted who was planning on going to the ride but 
because of the morning circumstances ended up riding ahead. We caught up 
very surprisingly so our three turned to four. Good stuff. Stuck to the 
route mentioned. Only got to do this in sections glad to do it right from 
North to south. Good group, nice day what more do you ask for?

[RBW] Re: How waterproof are the Sackvilles?

[Greg]

I've never had water enter the main compartment of my large Saddlesack, 
which has seen some rainy multi-day tours in Va./W. Va./ MD.. Nonetheless, 
I use trash compactor bags or mega-size Ziplocks as liners.
I have had rain water enter the two front zippered pockets and even the 
leather flapped side pockets. Putting all you stuff carried in these two 
locations in Ziplocks is prudent.
The great advantage of a canvas bag for bicycle touring is the same as a 
Duluth Pack for canoe tripping.
Breathability. Even if the interior of the bag gets wet it will dry out, 
evaporate. You don't get that with waterproof-coating bags. The exterior 
may dry fast but any water that gets inside stays there till you drain it 
out and mop the inside.
For the same reason I prefer Egyptian hemp cotton decks on Klepper kayaks 
for touring to any waterproof nylon ones.

[RBW] Re: How waterproof are the Sackvilles?

[grant]

The Scottish fabric is the tightest and most light-and-airproof of any I've 
seen or used, and as far as I know is not available in the US.  Carradice, 
I think, gets its fabric from the same Scottish maker. Or at least *has*.
The waterproofness is one thing, and a big one, but as KS says and does, 
stuff your dead-if-wet stuff in plastic or nylon bags. Or get vinyl bags, 
like Ortliebs. 
Waterproofness aside and on a more practical, everyday note, the tightness 
and dryness of the Sackvilles means they don't accumulate dirt like both 
looser and oilier bags do. I don't say the bags are perfect, but they are 
as good as they can be, and as good as I've seen. Good enough, for sure.

[RBW] Building A. Homer Hilsen

[Kelly]

I doubt you'll have to worry about chasing bottom bracket threads.  
Framesaver is good
Check the derailiuer hanger .. Not a must but can sabe time later

Then have a blast .. I usually hang the bike from an old seat post till I've 
put the first scratch on it then go. Ack to clamping top tube seat tube etc as 
mood suits me.  Hmmm maybe that is one of the reasons my bikes get so scared, 
my lack of gentle handling.  :)

Have fun and post photos

[RBW] Re: How waterproof are the Sackvilles?

[Matt Beebe]

In my experience, the saddlesack bags (medium and large) will keep your 
gear dry.   The canvas is fairly thick and tightly woven, and the main flap 
provides lots of coverage, almost like a raincape over your stuff.

Sure hope we get some breaks in the weather. Need to get out and test the ankle

Re: [RBW] Happy Holidays! Any Surprise Bike Treasures?

[numbnuts]

Hey All,
My first MTB was a mid 80s lugged stumpy (the orange one). I rode it for 
over twenty years before a frame builder friend told me that the stress 
waves in the top and down tube were serious enough that I should retire the 
frame. So I did, and bought a Ritchey (which my wife uses as her uppity 
townie - if there can be such a thing - more on that later). At any rate, I 
have been looking for another ever since and finally grabbed one off of the 
local CL. It's a lil rough, but serviceable, and will be my new workhorse 
(shopper, pull a trailer) townie. It will replace a mid 90s steel 
Rockhopper I bought years ago, also off the local CL. 

And about the Ritchey. When my wife and I became engaged I offered her in 
lieu of a ring any bike she wanted (we meet on a group ride). She 
responded, 'I'll take the Ritchey, and a ring'. So it really is hers 
because she did indeed marry me. She is a shrewd one that gal.

Smooth Tracks,
Chris
Redding, Ca.

[RBW] How waterproof are the Sackvilles?

[Kelly]

I've had great luck with the large sackville.  Several tours and all day rains 
with nothing getting wet And or even in the bag.  I still line it with a 
trash bag, and recommend that, just haven't needed the extra protection under 
some severe weather conditions.

[RBW] New Year's Day ride up Mt Diablo

[Jim M.]

I thought I'd start a thread for this ride, which was mentioned in another 
thread. The plan is to meet at Pleasant Hill BART at 9:30 am: *
http://tinyurl.com/bvt86we*

It looks like the trails will be able to dry out a bit before then. There 
should be enough locals on this ride to take different routes to the top 
and back again.

Cheers

[RBW] Re: After Xmas Ride. 12/26 East Bay Mixed.

[Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery]

I guess I wouldn't bother with studs for recreational riding if I lived in 
Boulder. If, on the other hand, I was riding for transportation, and couldn't 
pick and choose weather conditions, then the studs make more sense.

I didn't see any lightning this time, but I'll keep that in mind. Luckily I 
have no fear of death, which is kinda fun.

Re: [RBW] Happy Holidays! Any Surprise Bike Treasures?

[Scott Henry]

I ended up with a new Eddie Bauer First Ascent messenger bag.   It looks
great and seems to be comfortable though I haven't ridden with it yet (work
and the great midwest blizzard).

My TimBuk2 bag was still functional, but all of the velcro was loosing its
grip.  I cant wait to give the EB a try.

Advice - don't take shelter under a tree. Lightening strikes trees 
frequently. That's how golfers get kill on a golf course. It happens.

MUSA BoxerUndies!  They're heavenly.  Looking forward to summer

[RBW] Re: After Xmas Ride. 12/26 East Bay Mixed.

[Noah Deuce]

Jim,

Looks like I'll have to add some studs to my tire collection. The thing about 
Boulder is the snow/ice usually melts within a day or two, so that makes for a 
lot of wrestling tires on and off. 

Glad to see you're enjoying Marin!

Noah
