@eli Camping at Mt.Diablo should only be done at the campsites there. Fires should only in designated fire pits. And there was a lot of fog when I was there. But not at Juniper. There was so much fog that the dew felt like it was raining. In the middle of the night I had to retreat out of my

Hey Matthew, as one of several Seattle Riv riders I can chime in. I ride a triple Ram (26/39/49 x 11-26) and stay almost exclusively on the 39 ring (but then I ride w/out a load). There is only one 30 yard stretch on my normal routes where I need the 26 (coming off the top of I-90 over lake WA).

Yeah, on the 7spd cog choice... They seem to go to a lot of trouble to have only 9 distinct cogs for the 7spd FW line instead of 10. That 17-21 jump is weird on the non-mega 13-32 7spd FW. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Excellent weather this year, not too hot, and a nice tailwind much of the way. Graham had a great experience in his first STP. He was safe, alert, and faster than I had imagined, arriving in Centralia and Portland around 2:00 each day. Some chucklehead apparently scattered tacks along the

Seems to me it might be a matter of paint. Grant mentioned in that recent interview that he was hoping to sell his new city bike for around $750, unpainted. People seem to generally agree that it cost around $300 (retail) to paint a bike. The Maxway Sam is $1000, so that makes perfect sense.

I'm planning a nomadic sojourn through New England in early October with my mountain bike and my Riv. While this will obviously require use of my vehicle to transport me to/from some of the great riding places in VT, NH, ME and MA, I do hope expect a good portion of my time spent will be riding
