Re: [RBW] Bay Area RBW meetup group? ride or camping?
Any South Bay riders interested in a South Bay get together? Oakland is not so convenient from the peninsula.

I would be interested, though I don't live on the peninsula. I used to live over there, and I still think the riding there is as good as it gets.

I think I already have some travel the first few weeks of Feb so could already be a rocky start for the second month, but happy to make some amends for the greater good where I can. Possible overnighter meet ups as well? Let me know, PM or reply to thread. Disclaimer: my main road ride is actually not a Rivendell, but a Gunnar (outfitted with a front rack and sackville trunk bag of course), though I have three rivendells now for trail (hunqapillar), commute (cheviot), and single speeding (QB) that I can take out to fit in :) Unless someone wants to trade me an AHH. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Bay Area RBW meetup group? ride or camping?
I'm in north Berkeley and am interested. Hope the four hour ride also includes time for coffee making! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
