[RBW] Re: Let’s have a St. Louis Meet Up!

2020-04-27 Thread Dean Drake
I am across the river in Fairview Heights, Illinois. I have a Hunqapillar 
and a Bridgestone XO-1. I would like to meet and ride with other RBW owners 
in the St Louis area once the stay at home order is lifted and we can 
safely do so.  Madison county, Illinois  has over a hundred miles of 
beautiful paved trails which have now been extended into St. Clair county.
