I like that picture. It well shows why it’s my favorite time of year to 
ride, and doing it on a new Clem has made it all the more enjoyable.

Hmmm.  First time I’ve had Google Groups tell me “Your message is too big”, 
and then randomize the photos.  Well, I tried to put them in-line, but at 
least they’re named so you can identify them.

It's my new 1x setup.  SRAM 11-50 rear cassette (on a Shimano XT hub body), 
SRAM GX deraileur, Silver cranks (Wolf Tooth 34t chainring and a Silver 
chainring guard), and a SRAM GX trigger shifter.   The gearing is for 
off-road adventures but I'm riding it on the road for a few more days while 
I wait for my Appaloosa to come back from the painter's shop on Monday.

['Eric Myers' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Most of my rides are along the American River Bike Trail in the Sacramento 
area.  For me they are therapeutic, grounding, and recharging.  I love 
seeing the the changes of seasons, and deepening my relationship with the 
outdoors beyond my own property (which is a very small orchard).  Most of 
my rides are also with my son, now in his early teens.  Boys (big and 
small) can be moody if they are sedentary for too long, so getting us both 
out and moving is a good reminder of that for both of us, and a chance to 
improve communication.

No picture from today's ride, but we passed another Riv rider going the 
other way, on an Atlantis (I think) with a front basket.  I said hello as 
we passed each other, but today I wondered if there is a Rivendell wave or 
anything like that?

Birthday ride out the GAP and back in time for afternoon observances and 
dinner. 

I was downstaffed for the day due to low census at 0915 after being called 
off the first four hours at 0500 so I felt obligated to do the most 
opposite thing I could. One of my bigger rides on my Coast Rando yet and 
not disappointed at all. This was the mid ground of what I envisioned 
riding when I picked the bike and its spec. It just flies and eats the 
miles. 

https://photos.app.goo.gl/nx6kSQvnnohcoq4n8

I stopped at a convenience store about 33 miles from home that I always 
patronize after meeting the owner the other summer. He had insisted my 
young friend and I not obey his sign's instructions to park bikes in a rack 
off to the side in a pouring rainstorm but rather we lean them against the 
front windows where there was a bit of cover then come inside with him 
where he made us hot tea and we chatted until the downpour relented. He 
told us about immigrating from India and buying the store. He said the 
cyclists are great and the locals of the "coal holler" community along the 
Youghiogheny River get it and are so as well. 

Hospitality goes a long way and I make sure to reward his human concern for 
us that afternoon with my continued patronage. It made a nice end point of 
my ride out and visit before I turned back.

Hey Doug, they are VO Granola bars - I like the "middle ground" amount of 
sweep, I find it gives me better control. Similar to the Jones bars. I may 
end up with Albatross one day, though.

Jason,
Do the Granola bars only come in 31.8 clamp diameter? If so, which stem are 
you using? I like the look of the bar and the sweep is not as far back as 
the Bosco which I like, even on the long TT Clem.
Thanks,
Doug Hansford

Thanks Carl. I've been fortunate in so many ways, not the least of which 
was getting my butt into the saddle of this fine bicycle that seems to have 
no limits on what it can do or where it can go. 

Cheers, John

Sweet spot to ride to, Jason! I love when clouds and mountains play and 
make me wonder what I should be wearing. Grin. Have you turned your wee 
beastie to any trail riding in those hills? If so, how does it do? I've 
been amazed how I can ride all terrains, with a bit more caution and LCG 
(lowest common gear, hike a bike) my Quickbeam can do with 38mm tires.

With abandon,
Patrick

It's been nothing but blue sky for a while here in RBW/Mt Diablo land, so I 
got inspired today by the clouds. And the literature major in me makes me 
want to include poetry.

"The night loves the stars as they play about the Darkness … the day loves 
the light caressing the sun … We love … those who do … because we live in a 
world requiring light and Darkness … partnership and solitude … sameness

only true adventure …"

Very nice. Here's the new Clem in front of the St. Paul, MN Seventh Street 
Improvement Arches. (A National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark). The 
more I ride this bike, the more fun I'm having. Getting closer to having it 
dialed in and decked out. Not happy with the bell though. Sticks up too 
much. And the seatpost was slightly slipping, so it's been replaced with a 
black Kalloy Uno.

I’m sorry for the loss and especially for this young person’s family. Death of 
someone young and unexpected is hard to process. 

Your Atlantis looks good and it’s great you had a nice long ride to think and 
relax. Is that one of the new long wheelbase Atlantis frames?

Ooooh, Lithocarpus! Active contemplation on a bike ride is a beautiful way 
to wrestle with life's core questions, and none is more core than death. 
Backwards as it seems, our understanding of death defines our understanding 
of life, and our value, meaning, and purpose. May your rides help you find 
peace, value, meaning, and purpose!

[ascpgh]

Spending a lot of time at the sharp end of the stick in my world, holding 
the knife to keep it sharpened on most days. Not the place decide on being 
change averse, we're specializing in it. 

I've been riding my Rambouillet to work this week as I have adjusted my 
commuter for a guest we've added to our quaranteam. 

I grab rides where and when I can and have headed out for rides wearing 
whatever I had on in the moment than I had in the past. While the longer, 
more logistically detailed bike rides have been fewer, I believe I'm riding 
more miles and riding more frequently this spring but only have a 
cyclometer on my Rambouillet so there's no quantification. I signed up for 
Strava over the winter and so far have gotten more spam from them to 
justify their changes to fewer functions for free, most by subscription. 
Goofing around with that hasn't crossed my mind until I've been well along 
many rides. I delete the app when I remember. 

Riding is redemption. It's a departure from static part of life on a 
dynamic mode that gets your mind to participate. If you can ride with just 
the necessary attention, effort or sleep, you have a huge amount of 
bandwidth to let your mind flow through things that aren't at your job, 
your profession, your address, etc. A good bike outfitted for your uses 
really makes it possible. 

Some sights from this week:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/CB7pdtVRzCGBPQtG9
The Doughboy. The weary but resolute guard of the entrance to the 
Lawrenceville neighborhood. I've ridden thirty miles since 4;30 am, it's 
predawn, rain starting to fall and I'm not prepared for that but neither 
did those who he memorializes. 

https://photos.app.goo.gl/yCpCn4fH18UbFihQ7
Yesterday morning I see this 12 barge raft heading up the Monongahela River 
from the Ohio River at a pretty good clip. They're empty, moving right 
along and I decide to see if I can keep up with it and possibly beat it to 
the Hot Metal Bridge several miles up river. 

https://photos.app.goo.gl/JvMjCP1rnCVpHFdv5
I go there first and waited for it to reach my vantage point.

So far this year the rides haven't so much been defined by where the 
destination has been or the rare sights seen along the distant way. It's 
been a series of opportunities to savor more clearly against a backdrop 
from which I am distracting myself, within a nearer circle.

Way to go masmojo!
Nice ride.

And thanks on the Miyata.
It's the closest I can swing to a Riv
these days and it's set up very comfortable for me in much the same way many of 
you guys' Rivs are set up.

I have XT parts on it and its rocking those basketball tread Continental tires 
like Riv carries, tall bars and a Brooks.

It barely accepts those tires in a 700x42. Thet roll well for me and seldom 
flat.

[RBW] Re: Just Pics from Your Good Ride Thread

[Bill Rhea]

Lithocarpus, sorry to hear about your friend's passing.  Nothing like a 
ride in the country to give one time to ponder, I do plenty myself on every 
ride, and it feels therapeutic to me. That's a beautiful Atlantis, BTW, 
kinda jealous here ;-)

Pancake, that stretch of Partrick Rd near the top is one of my favorites. 
Always worth the brutally steep parts just to get up there.  Still no rebob 
sitings for me

My photos to add to the thread: On Memorial Day, I took my longtime 
girlfriend and her daughter out for a ride from Denmark Rd out to the 
Lovall Valley loop, with a picnic in Sonoma town square. It was so fun to 
plan the picnic (and how to carry it!), get them up early that morning 
(almond croissants right out of the oven and mimosas helped), and take them 
out for a moderate ride in a place they'd never ridden:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ol8-MdJFvfvqLy_Y5eXyuGjUl7db0Nn3/view?usp=sharing

They had a really great experience, which was (and always is) my only goal 
on family rides :-) Now to plan the next picnic ride

Lithocarpus,
I'm curious about the drivetrain on your awesome Atlantis. What's your 
crankset and cassette? Which shifters do you use?
Thanks,
Doug

I’ve been to that part of France, but always while riding Paris-Brest-Paris, 
which doesn’t allow for leisurely sightseeing. I’m inspired now to go back and 
enjoy it at a slower pace. With sleep and showers!

Aye, at 9,500ft, these trees have less betwixt them and space, so the blue 
really pops, unless we have fire haze. In sympathy to your heat, you'll be 
happy to hear today's ride had me having to un tuck my shirt to promote air 
flow at 8am swelter approaching 70˚F climbing up the pass. Grin.

Re: [RBW] Re: Just Pics from Your Good Ride Thread

[Patrick Moore]

I recall Velouria/Constance from Lovely Bicycle speaking about the heat in
-- is it Northern Ireland where she lives? -- at any rate, it was in the
mid 60s, so damned hot!

I meant to add in the post that I wore one of my thrift store Hawaiian
shirts. I generally dislike riding in baggy shirts -- when you are riding
into a big hot headwind with a single gear and no power to spare, you
resent any effort lost to wind drag. But I wore one today, and I have to
say that thin rayon, baggy, untucked, is just heads and shoulders more
comfortable in at least high and dry heat than cotton or anything else,
including (IME) seersucker. Too bad so many Hawaiian shirts are so ugly.

Re: [RBW] Re: Just Pics from Your Good Ride Thread

[Will Rhea]

Hi Lithocarpus,

I recognize that gate in the first photo - that's where the dirt connector
from behind the monastery on Redwood Rd spits out onto Partrick Rd up near
the top.  Do you ever ride that?  Technically private property (I think)
but it's mighty remote from people (and the hiker gate was open) so I
thought, game on...  Beastly steep but I had to see it myself.

Still on the lookout for nice, remote-ish dirt roads and trails in the Napa
area that are legal to ride.  Seems like all the stuff I see and want to
ride is on vineyard property.  Even some of the roads I thought were open
(like Gehricke Rd in Sonoma) are gated. Any suggestions?

Re: [RBW] Re: Just Pics from Your Good Ride Thread

[Patrick Moore]

I met no other Rivendell riders on this afternoon's 21 mile out-and-back,
but I got a lot of friendly waves (but not from the one man who passed me,
durn him -- tho' I console myself that he was at least 20 years younger
than I who just got onto Medicare). I rode south for 10 miles on the Rio
Grande paved path against a 22 or so gusts to 37 in the 76" gear, in the
hooks all the way, and while I can't say that riding into gusty headwinds
in too high a gear is my favorite sort of ride, I expiated a great number
of sins -- no, strike that; I was pleased to find that I can comfortably
maintain the hooks position for 7 or 8 miles at a stretch, my very
sensitive left palm being the weak point. At any rate, I took it easy and
averaged 15.5, and the ride back was easier at 16.5 including the stop to
fish the errant Nitto wire guard out of the spokes. I started a little
after 2 pm without having eaten anything since the previous night; must
remember to bring food; but I had to rush back anyway, so I made it alright.

Robert, yes, that runs from Santee Lakes up to Sycamore Canyon.  It is my 
understanding from someone who grew up in Santee that they used to run wild in 
there but then the marines cracked down on it.

Nice!  I used to ride from the Poway side out to the lakes and back. Nice area.

Hey Mark, 

The tires are 44s (42 actual) and the frame is a 610. I only have about 3mm 
clearance on either side in the rear... but I just took it on a three day 
gravel/fire road tour from Boone to Black Mountain and it rode great. No 
problems so far!

Hi Rich S.,

"Evan, your Austro-Daimler is stunning. Did you restore it?"

^ Thanks! I bought it as a frame, from Craigslist. The only restoration per 
se is the new decals. I bought them from a decal maker in Australia.

Beautiful pictures and scenery.  I am sending you thoughts of caring for
