We camped at Glen but took an afternoon walk from there to Wildcat. It
helped getting a site since we were able to take off work and go on a
Monday.

Thanks, Ted. Lovely photos, as was John's in a different way.
So wet!!!

I rode both those closures fairly recently (a month or two ago). Road

Hwy 84, which is how I usually get home after riding Old La Honda, has some
seriously scary
damage:
The gate was closed, I took that photo just outside the gate. I've never
even been to the winery, but I've been told the hill past the gate is quite
steep. My 3x9 gearing had a 24x23 low gear, so I've added a lower bailout
from what I used to have. Anything too steep for that I'd probably not
What I want to know is how did you get over that gate? I've always wanted
to ride all the way up to the concert venue but it always said no bikes.
Your 26x28 gearing is still a higher bailout gear than my 40x51 (or 38x51
on the roadini). I use the lowest gear on Bohlman-On Orbit-Bohlman (and

This is a 97 Riv Mountain/Expedition, originally owned by the OP of this

Thank you John.
But, you know, summer in Japan is more severe than in Canada, and "Rinse"
isn't easy here since rivers in Japan (https://flic.kr/p/2oz6bYx) are
basically more treacherous than those in Canada, so mileage will be smaller
in summer.
I'll post pictures when I go ride.
Scott,
Hello Justus,
Wanted to ask what model Riv you touring on, noticed the third bottle cage
and short (by Riv standards wheelbase), also are the tires 650b? if so how
wide? curious about what those fenders can accommodate. Amazing build!
Thanks

Looking at your (excellent) recent images, would you mind telling me what
your bar and stem combo is, and a quick summation of the handling?
Thanks,

Beautiful spot. Looks like an overlook near Fruitlands.
Nice area for a ride. Have not bicycled through there, but spent many days
motorcycling the region when I lived in Boston in the 90s for college.

Hi Patrick-
Thanks for the compliment! The bars are the Nitto 177 (aka the Noodle).
This is my road-gravel-singletrack bike hence the need for same wild
gearing. Its a 38 in the front and a 10-42 in the back. I don't use the 36
and 42 tooth cogs very often but when I do its usually on very
The humidity can be brutal here in Virginia. This spring has been a gift
with pleasant temperatures, cool mornings, breezes and low humidity lasting
longer than normal.
It was warm and a bit humid on Saturday. The temperature inside the tunnel
felt like it was 30º cooler! No kidding.

This is the kind of "wetland" off-pavement countryside that I envy, notably
firm dirt or gravel and green on each side. OTOH, I don't envy the
humidity. But oh, to have miles of *firm* dirt to ride on with 42s or 44s!
I use "wetland" rather hyperbolically.
The arch photo (and others too) is also
Love that masonry arch!

John — Riv sells the Sugino/Clipper/New Albion doubles for about $150.
Seems reasonable to me.
You can also get them from Soma Fab for even less at $130, they have sales
kinda regularly, too. If you sign up for their newsletter you'll get
alerts. Sometimes they do 30% off.
John G - Ouch! That's a very serious crank failure. Had you basked the
crank at one time?
FWIW, I like the FSA Vero crank on my QB, low q-factor and used with a 103
spindle BB it give a fairly straight chain line.

Thanks for starting the new thread, Ted.
I rode discalced today here in Virginia. Upper 80s and warm. Though it has
been a delicious spring with breezes, cool temps and low humidity that some
years seem all too fleeting.
