Great times in the seattle area today, as thousands of cyclists looped Bainbridge Island in a 32-mile jaunt.
I took the blue rambouillet on the 8:45am ferry, full fenders and baggins lil' joe bag expecting snow in the forecast. But it turned out to be sunny most of the way, low 40's for a high. I ended up wearing my Keen sandals with wool socks and was just fine on the grip kings. Saw lots of steel lugged bikes out there, but no riv's :( Granted I only saw a portion of the total participation, so maybe rivvies were out there at different times on different parts of the course. Got lots of comments about the ram with a generic "cool bike man." One "man awesome chrome" regarding my fenders I guess. And one guy asked what year my bike is -- I replied "oh-four." A mile down the road I wondered if he thought I meant 1904 since he must have thought it was an old bike hence the question. The ram did awesome, I'm not in the best shape of my life but the triple gearing allowed me to keep going on the big hills while others had to walk. My legs are a little sore but my shoulders and neck are doing great thanks to the higher handlebar position allowed via riv geometry. All in all a great day! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
