A few of us from the list showed up for this. Bikes were ridden in a "Country Bike" fashion. Good times were had. Pics here<http://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/sets/72157636236039095/> --Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gro

Maybe 6 months ago... and just for fun I put a 50mm Big Apple on the front of my AHH. It barely fit (no fender). I did not try the rear, but I think it's possible it would have fit. --Smitty On Wednesday, October 2, 2013 8:34:27 PM UTC-7, Eric wrote: > > Looking to see what the b

Thanks for motivating me out of bed a little earlier than I might otherwise have gotten up. Felt good to get 5 miles and a couple hundred feet climbing in before sunrise... then I got to ride home. Pics <http://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/sets/72157636555160785/> --Smitty -
