+1 on the Riv MUSA shorts. I have a number of pair that I’ve had for ~4 years, they are bombproof. I’m not as fond of the pants as they are a bit funky in the way they fit me. > On Dec 14, 2019, at 6:40 AM, Bill Schairer wrote: > > I love mine. I have three pair, 2 gray, 1 black. The

While I loathe indoor workout machines (rowing & cycling) I have friends who really enjoy spin classes. Some of them don’t ride bicycles out in the real world but they use these workouts to get and stay fit. They enjoy the social aspect of spin classes, some get wicked fit. Not a problem,

Shoji, Thanks, I’m mainly going to use it on my commute to work. I’m fortunate that it is ~6 miles and on quiet streets and a paved trail. I’m lucky that I can devote the Saluki to this and keep free my custom from this task. -JimD On Jun 2, 2015, at 7:59 AM, Shoji Takahashi

[RBW] Saluki - Dog Trailers?

2015-06-02 Thread Jim Dobbins
I'm exploring the use of a dog trailer so I can take our new pup to work with me. I'll use my Saluki if I do this. I'm interested of others have experience towing trailers with their Riv's. I'm thinking a Doggyride trailer looks like a good choice. Thanks, JimD -- You received this message
