Reid -- that 3rd bike is Dennis' AHH. Coincidentally it's the same size 
(65cm) and from the same batch as mine. He opted for beautiful green paint 
while I opted for the under tube. And as far as the babes... just cause 
it's a sausage festival doesn't mean it's a sausage fest. 

Manny -- Tommy has been a welcome addition to PDX life. Did I read that 
correctly... you're sending me a care package? Awesome! Can't wait to see 
what it is. New Years... sounds like a good time.

 I do not think it was appropriate, either.

Seth -- the MUP was about 21 of the 68 miles. 

Mayfly -- They make several tons of sausage for the festival and apparently 
they sell out every year.  

Mike -- I've got 200k in the back of my mind. Already looking at the 2013 
schedule. 

Eric -- yes... more end of ride rock shows. 

Dennis -- pics came through loud and clear. Thanks.

Charlie -- There's another 100k in March... come on down. 

Russ and Laura from Path Less Pedaled were on the ride too. It was their 
first Randonneuring event. They did a write up on their site with more 
pics: http://pathlesspedaled.com/blog/

Cheers to all,

That last pic shows a third bike behind the others, that looks as though it 
might also be a Riv. Is it?   Also, you guys forgot to mention all the 
babes on the ride. Keeping them all for yourselves??

Glad that Tom is being taken care of in Portland. Looks like a great ride 
with great company. Pictures look amazing too. On a side note the 
ladyfriend and I might head up there for the New Years. 
Look for a care package from Cal soon...

Dennis - Was meaning to sent this to you when we met in the summer.

Dude, glad you got to do that ride. Great images. Like practically
every other randonneuring event this year, it happened on a day I was
scheduled to work. I've ridden that route and it's great, much better
than the one they used in years past. I would have loved to have seen
more pictures of that Hillborne.

Any chance you'll be able to do any brevets next spring? I've been
entertaining thoughts of sitting out randonneuring next year but that
probably won't happen...

Let's ride soon.
