Wow Manny.  You competed all 300K?  That's quite an achievement.  Looks
like a lovely ride.

[RBW] Re: [Randon] Does anyone make a small, simple helmet light?

[Eric Norris]

If that's what you're looking for, you'll be better off looking at your local 
hardware store (as one other responder suggested). You might also try Big 5 or 
another discount sporting goods store--REI and other sports-related stores tend 
to offer nicer, higher-priced items that have more features.

[RBW] Understand your limitations.

[Manuel Acosta]

Good time riding to nowhere and back. Doing my first Populaire last year I 
got to riding with Esteban who told me when nearing the end of his 300k and 
there's a zen feeling with nothing around you in sheer darkness.  It was a 
humbling opportunity to ride with so many strong and experience cyclists. 
Some highlights.
-Riding with miles of wildflowers.
- Tagging along with Ian's group till River Rd. 
- The beautiful rolling hills after Healdsburg.
- Coastal tailwinds all the way to the Marshal Store. 
- Riding with and talking to Jenny Oh about her aspirations in finishing a 
Randonneur Series( good luck to her)


Good sense of learning happened.
-Always jump on the tandem train. They can take you to wonderful places 
when you are hurting. 
- Riding in sheer darkness on a quiet road by yourself is zen-like.
- Jump in groups to break up the monotony of riding alone. 
- Let groups go when you know your cooked.
- Understand  the wonderful healing properties of Slim Jims.
- You can and will get dropped by everyone riding anything. 
- Bring extra everything. Food, clothes, gloves, lights, stories, smiles. 
You know the essentials.
- Getting stung by a bee sucks. Specially when you get stung near the 
saddle area...

Pictures Proved that it's pretty at nowhere:

[RBW] New to me Sam

[Edwin W]

Thanks to this group for all of the advice and parts!
Here  is 
my Sam, finally built up in time for my birthday this week.


Basic parts list:
Riv Sugino Chainguard/40/26 I'll run it 1x8, see how often I use the granny 
and that will determine whether I get a FD
Riv's deore RD
Basic 11-32 8sp cassette from LBS
Nothing special wheels - will bring my dynamo over from my current daily 
ride
Gamoh porteur front
Wald 139
Public bikes rear rack (gotta have a spring)
Longboard fenders
Alba
Riv's shimano brake levers
Riv's single microshift bar end shifter (friction left, used on R)
Newbaum's twine and shellac

Super excited to ride!

Interestingly, in this Riv-deficient town (Nashville), I was in my LBS 
picking something up yesterday and they said they had just put together a 
new 52 Sam for a local woman! Now there are two more in this town! I have 
seen another single TT orange Sam, an AHH several cool Rivs and Rivish 
bikes that my friend's neighbor has, but not many others.

For those Riv packers - the LBS staff was duly impressed!

Edwin in Nashville

Re: [RBW] pedal across wisconsin?

I am not familiar with that group but I have biked across Wisconsin. It was
great riding, pretty, low traffic roads. There were some areas especially
near the Mississippi with rolling hills but it was not particularly hilly.

[RBW] Re: Eastern Oregon Teaser

[Aaron Schmidt]

The first quarter mile is the worst part of that ride! Well, except for 
crossing the bridge from the Maryhill area to Biggs, OR.

Looks like you found some nice places to ride, but when you go back, do 
consider riding Dalles Mountain Road, and Old Moody Road. They're fantastic 
dirt climbs.

[RBW] Re: pedal across wisconsin?

[Frank Brose]

I've never had any experience with them but have done this:
http://www.bikewisconsin.com/Grabaawr/index.html
Wisconsin has a wide variety of terrain. If your in decent shape 50 to
60 miles a day is doable without feeling trashed at the end of the
day. Hell I ride that in the summer and I'm getting older,fatter and
slower every year. Most of these organized rides take place on
secondary roads which for the most part are excellent with a low
traffic count. The secondary road system is quite extensive and well
maintained. As it should be given the amount of taxes we pay. Sorry
had to rant a little. The small amount of time you'd spend on main
highways should be of no concern. The sholders on most are wide and
for the most part drivers tend to give cyclists a fairly wide berth.
People are friendly, beer is cold and the food is good.

Re: [RBW] pedal across wisconsin?

[Kenneth Stagg]

Seth,

No experience with this group in particular.  Flat is a relative thing when
it comes to bike rides - to me most of Wisconsin so far is 'flat' but
that's because I'm judging it against long, sustained climbs.  I don't
think I've done a climb that was much longer than one mile yet (though I
knowere were there are a couple.)  I think the difference between the
maximum and minimum elevations for the state is only something like 1,000'
so there obviously won't be any really extended climbs.  Some areas have
lots of short, sharp climbs, though - I did a ride down around New Glarus a
couple of years ago and actually had to use my third chainring!

If a route follows one of the meandering rivers it's a good bet that it
will be relatively flat.  Crossing from one river to the next can involve a
little climb.

A bigger deterrent to riding here is the wind, which can get pretty
monotonous :(  That being said, though, I love riding here.  The county and
other back roads are an increadible gift to the cyclist and the drivers
have been much more corteous than they were in Washington (caveat - I live,
and mostly ride, in a pretty rural area here and I lived in the
Everett/Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia corridor there.)

[RBW] pedal across wisconsin?

[Seth Vidal]

Hi,
 Does anyone on the list have any experience with:

http://pedalacrosswisconsin.com/

I'm a little curious about them - though I must admit - doing 50-60
miles/day for 6 days feels like it could leave me a bit tired - I'm curious
just how flat this really is and other experiences.

Thanks,
-sv

A little bit, maybe- just- the- smallest- amount, unnecessarily harsh perhaps?  
How about just asking some questions- size, color, frame or complete, spec,

[RBW] Re: Eastern Oregon Teaser

[Dennis Hogan]

Great pics Smitty & Tommy - that is a beautiful area - I do the Gorge Ride 
every year: Dalles to Mosher Tunnels and back via Rowena Crest and last 
year the day before I rode out 8 mile road as a warm up. It is a beautiful 
route.

BTW the Gorge Ride is sponsored by the Friends of the Historic Columbia 
River Highway. It is on June 15th of this year. The Friends have done a 
great job of restoring and preserving the old highway with the goal of 
providing a route that will be completely off Rt 84 from Troutdale to the 
Dalles.

Sorry for the commercial - Riv content: the rides were done on my AHH.

Re: [RBW] kickstand question.

[cyclotourist]

The front derailer cable rubs on my plate without any problems. As long as
it's not making a bend or contacting a sharp portion, I considered it
acceptable.

Re: [RBW] Re: New AHH 56cm 650B Build

[David Hays]

As I see the specifications the XD2 is 24-36-46 and the XD600 is 26-36-46. 
Being as I'm running a 11-32 cassette and don't live even near any mountains, I 
think I should be okay.

[Mike]

Andy, so bummed I couldn't get out that way with you. Hopefully I can make 
it out next time. There are so many great roads out there. A ramble from 
Dufur to Maupin would be excellent. 

I was talking to a friend and he said it was pretty overwhelming the number 
of people that showed up for the Dalles 60 (velodirt.com). Looks like you 
and Tommy did the smart thing. Thanks for taking and sharing all the 
images.

Re: [RBW] Re: How do Silver Shifters work?

[PATRICK MOORE]

They work fine. In fact they worked wonderfully with the reverse pull
LX rd that came with the Sam Hill -- best shifting rd/shifter combo
I've used, except for the fact that it worked in reverse.

The shifter doesn't care which way the spring pulls the cage; hell, it
probably doesn't even know!

Yes, most definitely.  SunTour had backwards-acting front derailleurs,
but never made any backwards rear derailleurs.

Hi all:

This has been an interesting thread.  Does anyone know if the ratcheting 
mechanism was designed for "normal" rear detailers?  Has anyone used these 
with the derailers that RIv once sold where the spring tension moved the 
derailer upward toward larger cogs?  How did they work with that derailer?

[RBW] Eastern Oregon Teaser

[Andy Smitty Schmidt]

*Tommy and I were lured to lands east of the Cascades by The Dalles 
Mountain 60 (it's not a race, not an event, just a bike ride, 60 miles of 
mixed surface riding over hilly terrain). When we got to the start it was 
more of a thing then what we were expecting, so we decided to head off on 
our own and improvise a route. 

Most of the day was spent semi-lost on rural roads of northern Wasco 
County, Oregon. It was a nice mix of dirt, gravel, and asphalt. There was 
enough climbing for some fun descents and spectacular views. *

Pics show why we're already talking about going back…
