I remember my first week in the bay area after when I didn't yet have the 
confidence to ride far from the house, I ran into two turkeys having a 
dance off. I should've been entranced by their hypnotic circling of each 
other but all I could think was TURKEYS IN CALIFORNIA?!? I'd lived my whole 
live in WV and had no idea those big birds would be there.

Hey Steve,

Yes, this is near Usrey Mountain in Mesa, AZ. That's Superstition Mountian

 Decatur/Emory area. Have things changed?

 the
 Faulknerian remnants of the (I think) 2d-gen Gilbert siblings about 
 1964,
 all living there together, all well over 100 years old (exaggeration),
 including Aunt Gus who boasted that she hadn't been outside of the

 for 13 years (not exaggeration) and Hattie who had been bedridden for
 years. They had a cook (I recall playing with her son) who from a

Eric - Nice of you to say. In addition to the little shiny sardine, I've 
probably taken in some influence of yours somewhere along the way given all 
your thoughtful contributions and videos. Cheers.

And Rich - I'm unsure if there's another Atlantis'd Jason in the thread 
here that I missed (apologies if that's the case) or if my light-blue Sam 
came off looking sub-green from the surrounding leaves. But thanks so much 
if your comment was meant for my Riv!

Beautiful photos and bicycles all around on this thread.

 Hello Patrick,

 Thanks for the introduction and background regarding the Gilbert House. 
 I had not heard of it but you always have a good story to tell and this is 
 certainly one.
 Here is a link to the Gilbert House:

 https://www.atlantaga.gov/government/departments/city-planning/office-of-design/urban-design-commission/jeremiah-s-gilbert-house

 Regarding the cycling environment here: I'm seeing more cyclists, many 
 group ride opportunities, some infrastructure improvements like lanes 
 (still not enough). The ongoing construction of the Beltline; the Path 
 Foundation continues its efforts to expand the trail system with the goal 
 of connecting to the Silver Comet. Unfortunately, the volume of traffic 
 has 
 exploded and with that speeds to match; likely the same in many large 
 cities. However, if you know when and where to ride there are plenty of 
 options for year round riding. Oh, and hills. Lots of those to get your 
 heart rate up.

 I should add, if you don't mind driving an hour or two in any direction 
 from the city there are pleasant low traffic rolling country roads like 
 this to ride.

Ran into an A Homer Hilsen rider (one of the tall ones, because his Homer 
had a double top tube) while descending to Stevens Canyon Road on the 
trail. Didn't get a picture, but nice to see other Rivendells out there!

Re: [RBW] Northern Hemisphere Fall / Autumn Riding Photos 2023

[Brian Turner]

I didn't read that as a slight. I think we can all agree that it's the norm 
for just about any sort of organized ride, that the overwhelming majority 
of riders are wearing some sort of "kit", and that usually entails brightly 
colored, often logo / graphic heavy, form-fitting attire. Says nothing 
about the riders themselves, but I think there's a certain amount of 
refreshing individuality that's lacking in situations like that. When you 
choose to dress differently, especially when you ride a classically styled 
steel, lugged bicycle, you tend to stand out from the crowd. Sometimes, you 
may even get comments that seem condescending or back-handed because you 
are obviously "different" or simply because the commenter lacks a certain 
amount of social tact. Surely, as Rivendell enthusiasts, we've all 
experienced this to some extent. This reality is also the basis for Leah's 
posts about participating in her group rides, or the recent thread about 
style on the bike. I doubt any of us would be here if there wasn't just a 
bit of a nonconformist, "outside the mainstream" spirit in us.
