All of the most recent information is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/925697187482553/ I have it from the guy organizing the event-- Robert Ives of Blue Collar Bikes--that the gravel portion of the long ride will be relatively short, less than 10 miles for sure. There will be no

I'll be there on either the QB or Atlantis. Or maybe the Homer or Bomba. Decisions ... :) <3 Amit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owner

Yes, definitely flat, but 50 miles of deep, loose gravel on top of a Sacramento River levee would be a challenge on 33mm tires. I'm sure that won't be the case but it never hurts to ask. On Monday, June 1, 2015 at 8:14:34 PM UTC-7, Neil wrote: > > No idea about the route, but '50 miles in the D

No idea about the route, but '50 miles in the Delta' has gotta mean 'flat'. I think 33s would be more than adequate. On Monday, June 1, 2015 at 6:31:26 PM UTC-7, hangtownmatt wrote: > > Neil, it looks like I can make it. I'll also be on my Sam. Are you, or > anybody else, familiar with the rou

And here I thought "meet your maker" had something to do with the difficulty factor. Nope. This explains it: http://meetyourmakertour.com/about/ On Sunday, May 31, 2015 at 10:04:48 PM UTC-7, hangtownmatt wrote: > > I don't like the name of the event but > -- You received this message

Neil, it looks like I can make it. I'll also be on my Sam. Are you, or anybody else, familiar with the route? There isn't much information on the website. My concern is with what they call gravel. I'm currently running 33mm tires and Longboard fenders. Do you think this will be a problem?

Quickbeam? My bike with all the CA parts (White, Phil) is a singlespeed mtb, so it's the QB or the Gravel Roadster for me. Philip biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiv

I thought it was a 50 mile ride. Is there a shorter loop option? Did not see it on the site. Dan > On Jun 1, 2015, at 8:54 AM, Jeremy Till wrote: > > I'm going to try to be there, the condition of my right knee will determine > if I do the full 60 mile ride or the shorter loop. > >> On

I might be into this. I don't like the name of the event but I've ridden my Sam to Bike Dog Brewery and enjoyed a couple pints. Very nice brewery. A place where you can bring your dog, ride your bike and park inside, or just have a brew. How does it get any better? I'll let you know w
