Whoooeee!  I can hear the Crafton Hills calling.  It's good to see some of

Re: [RBW] Re: Redlands Strada Rossa 2015

I noticed a lot of appreciation for the Rivendells, as well as the green
Kelly, Bruce Gordon, Surly Krampus and of course Charlie Cunningham that
were in attendance.

I might be projecting a bit, but I think the sort of people that would want
to go to an event like this are predisposed to knowing about and liking a
lot of bikes.

I might be turning to the dark side.

But by any measure, the best bike of the day was Chuck's:

  Not too many roots, but there was a rock section. A bit technical, but
  doable at slower speed as it's really flat.

Here's a shot of Jacquie's Cunningham:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/46035786@N07/16300892724/

She was great to talk to. Fun person.

I'm guessing you can see this very same Cunningham bike on Page 13 of Rivendell
Reader #27. (I base this on the brake levers looking identical. However, in the
reader, there is no Manitou fork, and I'm sure it's possible that it's a
different bike.) I went back and re-read the Charlie Cunningham interview there
after the RSR ride. One of the best things in the Reader ever. There's a
section on Jacquie there as well.

Re: [RBW] Re: Redlands Strada Rossa 2015

2015-03-24 Thread James Warren

RSR was amazing, everyone! Huge thank you to Cyclotourist David for organizing,
for promoting, and for hosting several of us. And to Holly Estes, of course!
There was a lot of buildup to the weekend, giving me big expectations, and it
still was even better than I was expecting. Highlights:

1) Seeing so many of my friends.
2) Making several new friends.
3) Driving through rush hour Los Angeles Friday, and actually enjoying a 3:45
drive, because I knew what was waiting at the end of it. (Great company,
Redlands Gourmet Pizza Shoppe, and a Saturday mixed surface ride.) Having Hugh
there to order beer before I arrived. Thanks Hugh!
4) Arriving at the exact same time as Ian, and seeing two of Ian's Rivs get
used at the same time and meeting his brother-in-law Paul from Virginia who was
riding Ian's AHH. Fun to get to know Paul.
4A) David's breakfast! Soyrizo, Eggs, Bacon, and coffee.
5) Single-track climbing on a Riv
6) Sharing a nice rest-stop conversation with Aaron. Talked some future rides
with Esteban and others.
7) Seeing pre-teenagers like Jake just killing it on the trails. One of the
best climbers out there.
8) Connecting with Bay Area folks, Philip and Jacquie. Great patches, Phil!
9) Another fun time riding with Doug and Ian and meeting Robert for the first
time. Cool Bruce Gordon BLT Robert had!
10) Marveling at Robert's brilliance at getting us unlost when we were fenced
in. He saw orange grove adjacent to power plant on the smartphone map and
figured there had to be a fence hole at their interface. And he was right!
11) Hangar 24 to celebrate with Doug, Ian, and Robert! Thanks again, Ian!
12) Sitting there at Hangar 24 with our beers, we saw a new-to-us Hilsen guy
ride by.
13) We continued our ride and the Hilsen guy was fixing a flat. He had the bike
flipped over on the ground. I rolled up and said, Pasadena style? He looked
over and laughed. We introduced ourselves. It was forum-member, Richard Rios!
New friend!
14) Back at the BBQ, reconnected with Esteban, Hugh, Paul, Phil, Aaron, David,
enjoyed a great lunch. Got a pint glass to keep for a $5 beer purchase. Met a
few more new people.
15) Being especially fortunate to ride with two different groups during the
ride.
16) Amazing people taking advantage of the day.

And a few photos:

Re: [RBW] Re: Redlands Strada Rossa 2015

It made my spouse dizzy watching w/out vertigo, so I image that just amps
it up exponentially!
Not too many roots, but there was a rock section. A bit technical, but
doable at slower speed as it's really flat.

 Grin. (I couldn't' watch much of it though, just skipping through. First

Re: [RBW] Re: Redlands Strada Rossa 2015

2015-03-24 Thread Anne Paulson

It's funny, I've been riding my Krampus-- with the 3 wide Knards-- on
dirt a lot lately.

So I was out riding with my buddy on my Roadeo, which has the Grand
Bois Cypres 32 mm tires. We had a dirt section. My friend noticed that
I was a lot more confident on dirt than I used to be. Oddly, riding
big knobbies on dirt is making me better on dirt and gravel when I
ride with narrow slicks, instead of making me think I need the big
dirt knobbies for even a speck of dirt.

 Anne,

 Yes you'd have enjoyed the ride. I rode my A.H.H. with Hetres. No flats!
 They handled awesome. Your tires would be fine. I only had a few spots where
 I lost some traction climbing but no big deal.

 Try making it next year love to have you.
