Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!
A bunch more photos uploaded by IEBA board-member Norman: http://www.flickr.com/groups/redlands-strada-rossa/pool/ These give you a real good idea of all the different areas the ride went through. And yes, I am trying to sell it to y'all for next year! I love the fact there was a solid Rivendell representation there!!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!
Thank you Doug, and thank you to everyone that was able to make it out for this. Doug, Curtis, Esteban, Evan, Aaron, Ian, Paul, Rob, Mike... what a fantastic showing. Between 130 and 150 riders showed up. The most diverse group of bikes on any ride I've been on. Full basket and Alba-fied Rivs, MCRBS, high-end CX bikes, old Schwinns, dual suspension MTBs... just everything. And the riders were the most amazing part! Smiles all about from what I saw. Final group came in @ 6:30... 10 1/2 hours to finish! They told us they came out to Just Ride, and that's what they did! See some of the photos to get an idea of it here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/redlands-strada-rossa/pool/ We plan on having it again next Spring, and hope there will be another solid Rivendell Riders contingent!

Doug, Curtis, Esteban, Evan, Aaron, Ian, Paul, Rob, Mike... what a fantastic showing. Between 130 and 150 riders showed up. The most diverse group of bikes on any ride I've been on. Full basket and Alba-fied Rivs, MCRBS, high-end CX bikes, old Schwinns, dual suspension MTBs... just everything. And the riders were the most amazing part! Smiles all about from what I saw. Final group came in @ 6:30... 10 1/2 hours to finish! They told us they came out to Just Ride, and that's what they did! See some of the photos to get an idea of it here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/redlands-strada-rossa/pool/ We plan on having it again next Spring, and hope there will be another solid Rivendell Riders contingent!

United and Southwest fly to Burbank. Not a billion miles closer than LAX, but a much friendlier airport to visit.

That extra 60 minutes could be optimistic. Even if correct, those are 60 high stress minutes if you are driving or someone picking you up.

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!
Figured I'd chime in. There is Burbank Airport. It's a 15 to 20 minute easy drive from my house. I could pick you up depending on your arrival date and time. Say you flew in on a Friday you can hang your hat overnight at our home then we can drive out the next morning really early or I could pick you up and we drive out late Friday(large amount of commuter traffic going East) camp at David's ( hey David you did make that offer months ago) and be up for the ride early Saturday morning. ~Hugh Life is like riding a bicycle.

[RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!
The Date is in the Calendar. Looking forward to it. Keep a tent spot open for me as it's a long drive home and I'll be enjoying the post ride activities. ~Hugh Wednesday, October 9, 2013 6:14:19 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: Over the years, the SoCal chapter of the Rivendell Bicycle Appreciation Society has put on a lot of great rides!

Wow! Slip away for a month come home to find the first bike event of next year is already scheduled. This will be a fun time. Inland SoCal in spring is wonderful, as David's photos show. Hope to see some new faces out of the area riders on this one. dougP On Wednesday, October 9, 2013 6:14:19 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: Over the years, the SoCal chapter of the Rivendell Bicycle Appreciation Society has put on a lot of great rides!

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!
I hope you can! Can't think of a better reason to take a day off and travel some!!! This is the inaugural of what I hope will become an annual event. Might get bigger/more organized and with more amenities added, but this one is as advertised: An opportunity for a bunch of like-minded folks to get together and have a good time on two wheels! See some new scenery, meet some people that you've only corresponded with on electronically. No downside on this! On 10/9/13, Jeremy Till jeremy.t...@gmail.com wrote: This sounds amazing!
