Hi Steve,

Ed and I rode the trail back from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, to D.C. on 
Sunday, and there were a few soft spots, but nothing unmanageable. The only 
issue is that the ground has begun to saturate in a few places so any 
additional rain we receive takes more time to drain. Again, nothing 
unmanageable, just a few bits of squish. Here's my photo set from the 
weekend; it even includes a picture of you!

Best,
Mary

Hi all. 

I put together a short write-up with a few photos of the Pondero C Tour 
departure from Fletchers. Find it here, and thank you to Chris for inviting 
us all to join. It was great!

[RBW] 1992 Bridgestone RB-1

[Mary Gersemalina]

Hi everybody,

I thought some on this list might be interested in my post about the 1992 
Bridgestone RB-1 I purchased a couple of years ago from someone who I 
believe is or used to be a member of this group. 

Bridgestone RB-1: New Old Fast Bike Day 
http://chasingmailboxes.com/2015/06/05/bridgestone-rb-1-new-old-fast-bike-day/

It took a while, but it is finally built up (credit to my husband Ed for 
doing most of that work) and on the road. I took it out for a 90-mile 
shakeout ride a couple of weeks ago, and it road quite well. I am extremely 
happy with the bike. 

Thanks, and I hope everybody has a great weekend.

Oops, sorry for the misspelling there. I meant to say It rode quite well.
