[RBW] Re: Riv TOSRV Riders
CICS is an inter-disciplinary graduate program at BSU. I knew that a fellow with your same last name graduated from it back in the late 80's and took a job in Northern Ohio, but he must not be related. Nope, I've never ridden the Scioto. I always wanted to back several decades ago when I lived in East-Central Indiana, but now I'm in the greater Chicago area and it's a wee bit too far for me to want to drive.

[RBW] Re: Riv TOSRV Riders
Mark: The last couple of years, at Friday evenings' TOSRV registration, The Country Bike Shop has had a display of Rivendell's. Glad you've enjoyed the display Mark, but I couldn't get the planets to align this year, and I'll not be doing a vendor display. Maybe again next year. Maybe Mark has pictures of his AHH somewhere, and if so, it's worth a look. It's a very nicely done up Hilsen. I'm sure Mark and his Hilsen will be able to handle the extra miles and hills (detour due to a bridge out) on this years TOSRV just fine. Hope to see you next weekend Mark, and I'll keep the beer truck open for you, if you do the same for me.

[RBW] Re: Riv TOSRV Riders
COOL BEANS!!! I am a 25yr veteran of TOSRV, regular poster on the TOSRV website, couldn't agree with you guys more about all you wrote. I am now a big fan of Rivendell bikes, wanting an ATLANTIS really badI will be riding a 1984 Miyata 210 touring bike I bought for my first TOSRV, only bike I have used on TOSRV since 84. I am currently riding a 1999 Bianchi Eros touring bike, just swapped out the 23mm tires to 32mm, actually fit! I do hit my foot on the tires a lot more than I did but I can handle it.as a boy, I hit a brick wall with my bike, hit my head, bad part was it pushed the fork really close and it taught me then how to hold my feet when doing sharp turns..all streams of information leads to the river of knowledge. I will be hanging in Tracey Park, near the Civil War monument, drinking beer, good craft beer. You will see my bike, my friend painted my bike last year, but of course the decals were doomed.just found new ones so you will see my Miyata 210which by the way, are of the same tubing used by Toyo until just recently. Will be looking for the Rivendells !

[RBW] Re: Riv TOSRV Riders
Dick puts on a nice display of Rivendell bikes at TOSRV Friday night registration and the next day on the road I often get questions about my AHH. One woman in a pace line remarked that she didn't realize fat tired bikes could go fast. (Little did she know that it is not the tires that make it go fast, it's that a 50 year old man is trying to keep up with an attractive woman that makes it go fast). There is a 1971 photo in Eugene Sloane's Complete Book of Cycling that shows a pack of TOSRV riders climbing a hill. Of 20 bikes,10 have upright roadster style handlebars and most of them are wearing normal clothing. When I'm contemplating buying a new bike bit for TOSRV I think about the thousands of riders forty years ago who didn't need fancy bikes, shorts, lightweight this or that, to complete the 210 mile tour. They just got on their bikes and did it; and they do it on the same roads, over the same hills and in the same weather as we do today. As the bike boom hit North America Greg and June Siple took their large tour organizing expertise to a lot of new bike clubs to help them put on a tour. I think there are still rides called TOSRV East, TOSRV West, and TOSRV South. The NYC Five Borough ride is another offshoot of TOSRV. Next year will be TOSRV's 50th. Dick, I'll be working hard to get to Tracy Park before the beer truck closes. Adding 8 extra miles to the 105 mile route is not helping. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
