Thanks for the ride report, Collin. One of these days, I may do the exact same ride myself (I'm in Oakland also). I've been to some of those places but not by bike. best, Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscri

Thanks for sharing Collin! I really enjoyed the pictures and report. Could you post the route you took? I'd like to get down to that area for a trip sometime. Thanks, David P. Vancouver, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Patrick, that's just where the panniers fit on the rack. The combination of the small bags and the long wheelbase really send them back there. Bigger panniers, the likes of Arkel or ortleib, would probably look a little more normal. Marc, I'm bummed I didn't come across Chuck's maps during my

Keith, I mapped it out on mapmyride here: https://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1961576156. It doesn't include some of my detours or any of the detailed markers (food, campsies, etc.), but I have a scan of some USGS quad maps with some more detail somewhere on one of my hard drives; I'll go di

I've found my pair of Klean Kanteen 1L / uninsulated bottles -- paired with Widefoot Designs liter-cages indispensable for overnights or field trips. Thinking of adding some fork bosses and doubling up on those. =- Joe Bunik Walnut Creek, CA On 11/26/18, Keith Weaver wrote: > Collin, > > That's

Collin, That's a great write-up, I definitely would be interested in getting a detailed route from you. I'm in Reno, and have been wondering how to get some more touring in locally, preferably with less traffic. I have a Surly Disc Trucker with panniers front (lowrider) and rear. I currently have

Great trip and write up, Collin! Good call on the water. I’ve taken to bringing 5-6 28oz bottles, leaving 2-3 empty when I know the next water is reachable, otherwise I drink heavy at the source and load up. Fun and intreaguing way to do food. Amazing how much the epic opens up in just a short b

Oh yeah, I managed to get 5 bottles on there for about 4 liters of water carrying capacity. There was a section of about 70 miles with no water where I almost ran out! Hopefully there is snow, we just had our first big storm of the year with another on its way this week. On Monday, November 26,

That fourth bottle probably comes in handy in such dry country. Should be snow up there by now. dougP On Monday, November 26, 2018 at 3:07:52 PM UTC-8, Collin A wrote: > > With the weather cooling down and a slow day at the office, I decided to > do a write-up of a labor day ride I did a few
