I guess I simply prefer a more egalitarian theme for a ride. Inclusive rather than exclusive that's all. I don't think anything negative about the folks and certainly did not mean to insinuate that. There are about ten Riv owners in my club and sometimes it's all Rivs on a ride. No problem, ride whatever you want. I just didn't like the idea that on a "Riv Rally" someone might feel having a fancy bike is necessary to come along with the group. I suppose "pretension" was the wrong way to put it. Truly sorry. /Still, gorgeous bikes all, and perhaps the best trail in America.
