Re: [RBW] Re: Seattle Riv Ride: 10:10 on 10/10/10
Hi all, Hope to see a bunch of you tomorrow! Looks like it's going to be wet. Glad I've got my fenders on! Hm, kinda need a mud flap I'll be at Pert's by 9:30am anyway, maybe earlier. Still planning on a Mercer Island loop. I'll have access to e-mail on my phone--if you're running late send a message. :) Rob in Seattle On Oct 3, 2010, at 2:06 PM, Bruce Curry wrote: Sorry to miss the ride next weekend.

Hey Boys, I am currently in SoCal AND have participated in a number of Riv Rides. Its always a great time, and getting 6 or 7 Rivs (and/or Rivendell minded folks) together that far from Walnut Creek is pretty ground shaking! The point of this message though, is to let you know that my Atlantis and I are moving to Seattle at the end of October and would love to participate in Seattle Riv Ride #2. Also, moving up from 360 days/year of sunshine, do you guys have any helpful tips on riding through the Pacific Northwest Winter?

Arrgh. I'm working that weekend and so won't be able to attend the ride or the bike show. The ride would be kind of hard to make anyway as I'd have to take the train up anyway. Perhaps I'll attend a future ride. As for the The show... I've been to the ones in the past and they're great but just not my thing. I'm fine with missing that. My favorite part of any bike show is looking at the bikes locked up out front rather than the show bikes. Hell, I don't even go to cyclocross races here in Portland. I'd rather be out riding my bike than watching others race/ride theirs. I do go on brevets though and am excited about this weekends 200k! mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
