Most likely it would be somewhere between Minneapolis and Madison and a 2-day weekend format with camping and hotel options. Also, most likely there would be ride route options to suit different fitness levels and adventurousness thresholds (nothing extreme).

Re: [RBW] Mountains of the Rose City
Thanks for the pix. Just beautiful. . . the mountain was, too. On Jan 9, 2012, at 3:03 AM, Smitty-A-Go-Go wrote: Even though we'd never met, list member Norm and I recognized each other from across the street. He was sitting at a sidewalk table in front of a coffee shop and I was walking my bike on the sidewalk to the crosswalk to come meet him. We had connected through the list here. His orange All Rounder and my blue AHH were dead giveaways. We discussed destinations/routes a little bit and were soon on our way. About half a mile up the road there was a sudden and horrible sound from my rear wheel. It was the sound of metal clanging against metal. I slammed on the brakes and looked back. Everything looked ok but the tire was flat before the bike was even stopped. Further investigation led me to a #4 finish nail through the sidewall of my tire. The sound was the nail hitting the seat+chain+fender stays... like a finger strums a harp. Fortunately I had pliers in my tool roll because the nail was in there really tight. The spare tube came in handy too. I got the wheel back together and we were back on the road. Our first real stop was Mt Tabor. We got peek-a-boo views of Mt Hood and a nice clearing provided views toward downtown Portland, but the forest was too dense on the Mt St Helens side to really see any thing. Next stop was Rocky Butte. There's an interesting structure that looks like a castle from the outside, but when you get up to it the castle is full of dirt and is just a lawn and walking path with a spectacular view. Norm and I ate a snack, took a few pics, and soaked in the view. It was time to head home. As I was turning onto my street I was thinking it was perfect timing 'cause it was just about time to dig the lights out of the saddlesack.

Re: [RBW] Riv Chica Warrior!
Man! What a story. It makes my almost 59 year old bones feel young again. You are my hero for the whole week! Congrats. david On Jul 19, 2011, at 9:10 PM, Liesl wrote: Despite this record-breaking heat and humidity here in the Twin Cities, my partner Erin on her Quickbeam and I on my single-speed Proto-Bleriot elected to do our 20-mile round trip commute to work. The ride home was 98 degrees with a dew point at about 80 degrees…this put the heat index up somewhere like 100-115 degrees. Right balmy. Two blocks from home, as I’m looking forward to air conditioning and a cold one, all hell broke loose. Up in front of me is a maroon Mercury Cougar, and I’m thinking, “When did I last see a Cougar?” As I’m gazing, the car slows down and a young man hops out to go to the convenience store. I wait to see if the Cougar is going to park, but no, it just keeps going. As we proceed down the road, a bicycle passes me, and then I hear yelling behind me. I turn back to see another young man running like the blazes shouting, “That guy stole my bike! Stop him! That guy stole my bike!” It’s the dude from the Cougar who had passed me on the bike! So I stood up and bore down hard on my peddles in hot pursuit. He was riding on the sidewalk next to a big park and I was just behind him in the street. After about 3-4 blocks he started to fade—remember it was literally close to 100 degrees—and I caught up to him. “You stole that bike!” I yelled fiercely. It was clear that he wasn’t aware that I had been on his heels. “You stole that bike! Just drop it and walk away,” I commanded. His grin faded ever so slightly. “I see you,” I continued sternly (albeit between gulps of air). “I see your face, I see your clothes, I see the number on your jersey.” His grin dimmed. I looked at his bare arm. “I see your tattoo,” I said and looked him in the eye. “I see you. Drop the bike and walk away.” He knew the tattoo meant I could ID him. He looked away, dropped the bike, and wobbled off, his legs spent. A dude in the park had watched the whole thing and called out, “Whoa! You just caught that guy and made him give up the bike, man! You chased him down in this heat, and you made him drop the bike. You beat him and you’re twice his age, man!” Erin rode up, having stopped to call 911, and the young man who owned the bike came up huffing and puffing and was ever thankful to have the bike back. Most of the time, I count myself as one of the slower people out there on a commute filled with lycra-clad boys riding carbon racers. At 52, I’m all for bike lingering. But today, I busted it out at the end of a scalding hot ride and beat a kid who in all likelihood was not two but three times younger than me, and I caught up to him when it counted and got a stolen bike back. Feels damn good. Yours, Liesl a.k.a. RivChicaWarrior, Superhero! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell MTB? Rare Sighting
Thanks for the note, Bill. I haven't been able to ride as much this year as I would normally get to. I'm a private practice mental health therapist and I own my own business. Business is very, very good. . . but that's not good for my riding. I'm hoping to do better in the second half of the year. I have so enjoyed your bike, though. It is just the sweetest of rides. I have it set up pretty comfy except for the handlebars, really, but it is so nimble that I just know that it would be a hoot on the single track. I love all of my bikes, but this bike is a special piece of history that is truly fun to ride. I hope you are well and riding.

Unfortunately, the saddle didn't agree with her and she went back to getting another Specialized BG Women's saddle which she's been riding forever on her Waterford.

[RBW] Re: XT hubs vs LX hubs?
This discussion brought back a memory which had me digging in my basement. I have an XT hubset which I know little about. It looks shopworn, but does not look built up to me. The rear reads FM-H730 and the front reads HB-M730. I'm thinking that it is 8 speed, but you'll probably know, if it rings bells to you. Any interest? david blessing --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Looked like he was hitting the carbon fork with the handle of the hammer and the steel fork with the head of the hammer. Steel still looked pretty usable, though, even after the damage.

[RBW] Re: Ethics: What to do if I am scammed by a list member?
Certainly a thread that most of us will watch carefully. I'm a lurker for the most part; I seldom feel like I've got much depth of knowledge to share. I just love bikes. I have had wonderful experiences buying items from fellow RBW members. I too have sent items before I've been paid and I've received items before my payment has arrived at its destination. One recent purchase arrived pretty late. It looked like it had been through the postal wars in getting to me, but it got here and the item was well-packed and so in excellent shape. I hope that this works out positively. There are few places on the net that have the same warmth. Best to all. david blessing on the cold soon to be snowy plains of Nebraska.

I sure do appreciate the hesitation to engage in a lynchin' before the facts are known. I, too, prefer to believe that people are good and honest. I'd like to believe that we've found a good little on line community here in the best sense of that word. Jim posted a little while ago about folks who join the group simply to post FS or Trade items. I have to wonder if this person was one of those. I've been considering putting a bunch of stuff up for sale on the RBW group, but I've been hesitant because of dealing with the financial transactions. I'd like to think I could trust folks and that people would trust me. I'd hope that most folks would think I was OK because I've posted regularly and, I hope, helpfully. I guess I'd be looking for the same kind of track record from anyone I'd sell or trade something with. I hope this resolves well.

Sometimes they send me the item before I have paid and other times I have paid before I've received the item, and all has worked out. I'm a lawyer and deal with scammers, conners, liars, and cheats all the time, so I'm not a naif, but I also assume that people are honest and sincere until they prove otherwise, unless they give obvious signs of mendacity (we all know the difference between a rat and a kitten and we give the former a wide berth). It then disturbs me greatly when they prove me wrong. I also like to think of the people on these two lists as some kind of brethren and that there is a code of honor among us, almost as if participation in these groups somehow filters out the chaff. It is therefore disturbing when something like this occurs to me. If I were you, I would detail the specific facts of the transaction on this site, email it to the person, and invite him to make things right. I would assume and hope that there is a good explanation for his failure to respond. If he does not, then post it. Strange things happen all the time and he may have a plausible explanation - he may be on sabbatical or in the hospital. Or, he may just be a little f*g creep who should be outed to protect the rest of us. If, indeed, he is a conner, we can at least take comfort in the fact that he is the exception that proves the rule. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: FS: X0-1
Hi, Nick. Beautiful bike. Is that $750 shipped to Nebraska? To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] FS: X0-1 Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 17:05:16 -0400 From: kaiser...@aol.com I am thinning out the herd. Sold my old Rivendell a couple of weeks ago and the next to go will be my X0-1. It is the large size--about a 59. It has about 2500 miles on it. It was purchased direct from Grant/Bridgestone when Grant was closing up Bridgestone USA and was offering some of the unsold bikes to the BOB's--I think in about 1995. I can send photos if interested. I am in Fresno, Ca. Nick --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Early Days Rivendell Mountain Bike?
I don't know how many were made. I'd imagine you are right; not many. I've got a set of XC-Pro cantis and an XC-Pro crank that will start the build. The bar will be an old WTB bar that I stumbled across a couple of years ago. Haven't decided exactly on the shifters, but they will be bar end and friction. Still planning for some of the other stuff at this point. david Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 20:04:33 -0700 Subject: [RBW] Re: Early Days Rivendell Mountain Bike?
