I noticed a lot of appreciation for the Rivendells, as well as the green Kelly, Bruce Gordon, Surly Krampus and of course Charlie Cunningham that were in attendance.
I might be projecting a bit, but I think the sort of people that would want to go to an event like this are predisposed to knowing about and liking a lot of bikes. Too be honest, Jill's Specialized Crux you can see in these pics sure caught my eye. http://ridinggravel.forumchitchat.com/post/strada-rossa-around-redlands-calif-march-21-2015-7345407?pid=1286625981#post1286625981 I might be turning to the dark side. But by any measure, the best bike of the day was Chuck's: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/16872986516/ On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 8:20 PM, dougP <dougpn...@cox.net> wrote: > As a couple of guys passed me one said "hey, a Rivendell, cool".
