Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Ride: Lakeshore Trail, Chicago, June 29

[Gautham Narayan]

Too bad about the weather, but selfishly this is great, because I couldn't 
make the 29th (will be up in Chicago, but was flying out of ORD that 
evening, so would have had to figure out what to do with the bike for three 
weeks). Hopefully I can make the Fall Ride - with the added bonus of nicer 
weather!

Cheers,
-Gautham

Managed to get the train up from Champaign, and looking forward to meeting 
folks tomorrow.

[RBW] Re: Riv Atlantis - first build

[Gautham Narayan]

Definitely my favorite color, and I figured I'd been dreaming about this 
bike long enough to splurge a little on "blingy!" 

Cheers,
