We had our Rivendell Ride today, and I was so happy that we had 10
riders! We rode the KalHaven Trail, a rail trail that spans the 34 miles
between Kalamazoo and South Haven. Eight of the ten riders brought
Rivendells, most had seen a lot of miles. The oldest bike was the ‘97 or

I happy it turned so good

Since Marc's Hunqapillar is now black, my gray/orange 54cm is even more
rare! His was the only other one I know about, although one of the 54
prototypes has the orange accents, so it may be out there somewhere.
To be honest, I've long thought of changing mine to black. I'm not big on

That looks like a lot of fun.
Leah, you could an ambassador for Riv who travels around and organizes
these sorts of rides.
I doubt that sort of position exists…but still.

Ray - on that custom? I KNOW. It was just glorious.
I’d happily be the Riv ambassador! Who wants to pay me?!

I love the black Hunqapillar, I've seen another one around here in years
past (maybe it was a Bombadil) with full racks and lights..so cool.
Thanks for all the pics Riv Ambassador Leah, it looks like you guys (and
one lady) had a grand time!

Joe, yes it was so fun to be around like-minded folks. Now that my kids are
teenagers it is getting easier for me to branch out and do fun things like
this. I hope that one day I can make a weekend out of it. Maybe do a bigger
ride and stay in a hotel a night or two. Not camping, mind you. Never
I love all of this, and must admit being confused by Ben's custom being
called a single-speed.

Wesley, I’m laughing out loud. I never looked at the drivetrain until I read
your comment! At the start of the ride Ben was talking about his single speed.
He rides single speed. Loves singlespeed. So, Ben has a singlespeed. I’m taking
his word for it. I don’t look at drivetrains. But having bee
Glad Wesley beat me to it...I noticed that beautiful custom WAS
multi-geared. But I'm with Ben...I love my 50-year old somewhat Rivved out
Peugeot PX-10 set up as a (low-geared) single speed. Gets more miles than
my 3 Rivendells , if I'm honest
A handsome pride of Rivendells for sure, nonethele
Ok so if I'm following this correctly you stayed in one gear in singlespeed
solidarity with Ben for most of the ride..and he was shifting! I love this
story! 😁

I cannot argue but I will say that at 67 I thoroughly enjoyed my recent

I was wondering what the next step was after "Leah has 3 Rivs and that's

She rides with a special drivetrain. It's a single speed with 18 options.

Hehe, knowing Leah she probably put it in the hardest gear and went like
blazes, with one minor downshift for the big hill at the end. I pity you
fellows trying to keep up with her!
