A guys was checking out my Atlantis one day & commented he hadn't seen an Atlantis in many years. His age suggested he'd been around bikes for a while. Perhaps Riv isn't the first one to use the name Atlantis? Or in the dim mists of time there was a manufacturer by that name? Most likely the gu

Sorry I didn't see get to see you and your Sam. I haven't seen any Rivs here in Utah yet, but I know they're out there. I've frequently been told that my Riv is in great shape for such an old bike. I used to explain that it's only about five years old and then I'd launch into the whole story. Thei

I really enjoyed this report, Eric. It’s nicely written and has a great balance of personal reflections — including travails — with details about the ride itself, road, and terrain. It’s inspiring and makes me want to seek new paths. On Sunday, September 25, 2022 at 8:24:29 AM UTC-4 eric...@gma

Great ride report Eric, looks like a lovely time. I'm just one state over from you and would totally make the trip to accompany you on a ride. I've have not been very impressed with my Patagonia Nano Puff. It's not great for physical activities. On Saturday, September 24, 2022 at 2:22:49 PM UT

Thank you, Junes! On my ride today I was thinking I should have stopped to take photos of the road surfaces, could be interesting to share with the group. But with all the climbing I was discouraged from stopping. J — I forget that synthetic and natural down layers are for keeping you warm whi

Re: the Nano Puff, I currently own two jackets (hooded and non-hooded), and the vest. I've long considered the Nano Puff hoodie to be one of the best, most essential pieces of outdoor gear I have ever owned. That said, I cannot ride in one, or do anything strenuous in one for very long... even
