The weather gods smiled upon Jim Thill's excellent organization of the Riv 
Rally Midwest. Unfortunately, I had to leave at the end of Saturday. I'm sure 
they're enjoying another epic, scenic tour today.

Some photos from Grant's appearance at Hiawatha, the ride from Minneapolis to 
Red Wing on Friday, and the ride from Red Wing to Wabasha on Saturday. 
Outstanding riding and company. Thanks, Jim. That was fantastic!

Great plan Jim. 1 Riv + Slow Rider planning to attend. No distance 
iobjectionable. Okay, under 50 miles could be objectionable. Sounds too fun for

Campy-sniffing will be permitted, but please ask for consent, and try not to be 
conspicuously giddy about it. Low-key, casual sniffing recommended. 

it may be early to pin down schedules this early, but it would be nice to get 
some idea of who is coming. I'm sure a head-count, even if approximate, would 
be useful. No need to inform me if you're on the fence, but if you're 
reasonably sure that you're attending, I'd like to start a list. If you can 
email me off list, I will have contact info. Since its almost 4 months off, you 
have time to ponder.

That depends.  Would I be shunned if I'm not riding a bike from Walnut
Creek?  I sold my Heron so I no longer have a Riv (though I remember
something about the lugs on the Mariposa being modified first generation
Riv lugs) and there's even a chance I'd want to show on the tandem.
