Surf:
I've ridden an Atlantis since spring 03 and it's really the only bike
I need. I bought it for loaded touring and have carried up to 50 lbs
of camping gear. I've also been pleased with it as a daily ride,
grocery getter, general purpose bike. It works well enough for me as
an off-roader
Perhaps the wildest looking thing Rivendell has ever built - maybe a
demo or show bike? It does grab your attention. Those white brake
hoods won't look like that long. On the plus sidestill a manual
shift!

Doug,
This sounds good. I'm not sure if I'll take the train or drive. But
will figure that out in the next day or so.

David:
Back from my upper mid-west wanderings packing for the next
adventure, so I'm only home for a few days. But glad you've got it
down to 24th or 25th. Either day works for me. Suggest we do the
Whiting Ranch and Aliso Woods Cyn loop as suggested by Noel at a
minimum. We can throw in
