Patrick - that would be Laing’s orange Riv custom.

Thank you to all who attended for bringing such a fabulous spirit, and a massive thanks to all who were involved in the planning and organizing.

Whose is the orange custom at 0:52 and passim with untaped bar, no-extension (Discord?) stem, lovely high-flange front wheel, and 50 mm tires? 650B or 559? What tires? Can we get the usual statutory driveside profile photo?

Almost 25 riders from Indiana to FL, including 10 local folks. Everyone was great and the bikes were, as you can imagine, almost all rivs, but we did let in a bridgestone :).  A Hunq, 5 Appaloosas, a couple of Atlanti, 3 or 4 gorgeous customs, the famous Betty Foy ridden 72.000 miles by Pam (yes 72K!), a purple Rosco Platypus, a pumpkin platypus, a couple of Sams, and two Salukis, a Gus, and probably some more that I'm forgetting. Some highlights: The River Arts District greenway ride followed by beer and dinner at New Belgium Brewing, where our bikes took up and spilled over the entire bike rack system. Our Bent Creek Gravel rides - three groups had a splendid day with not too hot temps, no rain, and perfect fire roads. Two friendly bears who realized they were in the poster and better make an appearance. Our bike parts garage sale, where everyone realized that we were all trying to get rid of lots of tires, stems, handlebars, bags, etc. that everyone else there already had. We all have a bike parts hoarding problem. Beer and dinner at The Wedge brewery Saturday night. The fabulous poster from Brian. All of the fun people that came together with amazing bikes, great personalities, and brought all of their fun to the weekend. Enthusiastic agreement that we should do it all again, maybe in during a fall or spring timeframe. And thanks to a very gracious offer from Leah, she put our pics and videos together into one of her great videos - THANK YOU, LEAH!  A link to her video is below if you'd like to watch it. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0xG1CvrSGHQ6um -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
