RE: [RBW] Riv Rally Midwest
Great pics, Ted. Can you put names to some of the faces? -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ted Durant Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2012 1:13 PM To: RBW List Subject: [RBW] Riv Rally Midwest 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.

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

Re: [RBW] Riv Rally midwest
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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
