Thanks Leah. I have definitely narrowed it down to a Sam or an Appaloosa for myself, in that order. A Sam in Mermaid would probably be my ultimate Riv. Nothing against the mixte, I'm just kind of a double diamond purist. On Thursday, April 22, 2021 at 9:11:59 PM UTC-7 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!

Hi Kushan, Welcome! Nice orange Roadini! I have an orange Roadeo :) I did a very similar ride at the start of this year, beginning in Occidental, but instead of the route you linked to, we went up Coleman Valley Rd, which is a very hard but amazing climb. I agree it's beautiful up there!

Kevin, I agree with you regarding wrist position on the hoods on the Woodchippers - it is not the best. IME, the wrist/hand position on the other gravel bars (on the hoods) are much, much better. Our current favorite is the Ritchey Beacon. We just bought a pair to install on our touring

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check some of those out. Have tried the Woodchippers and I think the drops position is awesome but I don't love the wrist angle on the hoods. Would love to try the 26.0 Shakas but they seem pretty difficult to come by unless somebody here is sitting on a pair.

Kevin, I have tried multiple drop bars. I agree, specifically the Nitto Noodle does have shorter flatter portions on the returns. IME, the gravel type bars have more generous *returns*. Specifically the Salsa "Woodchipper", Ritchey "Beacon" and the Spank "Flare 25" bars. IMHO, the Beacon
