Your photos brought back many memories of rides with friends alongside the missouri river growing up. i'd be lying to say I didn't miss it. It's funny how distinct that river looks combined with the surrounding vegetation, instantly recognizable for me. Glad to see you had a great trip and thanks

Happy Birthday! I'm curious about "where" also. I tried to zoom in on a couple of signs in photos, but that didn't help much. My guess is central California. Sacramento River, maybe the San Joaquin delta. Am I close? On Nov 18, 12:02 pm, Phil Bickford wrote: > Happy Birthday James - and than

I wear a helmet all the time for everything; cycling, walking, running, napping, reading, driving, hiking. I just feel better knowing my head is always safe. Non-helmet wearers scare me. Cheers! cm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

I won't answer for James, but I sometimes do the same There are simply times where you feel it's low risk to ride without the helmet, and you just need to feel the wind through your hair (I shave my head)... It's a freedom thing, I suppose... BB On Nov 18, 2:15 pm, Eric Norris wrote: > Nic

As long as you don't fall and hit your head on a rock I guess that would work. I fall over much more often offroad than on. —Eric On Nov 18, 2010, at 12:11 PM, scott wrote: > Helmets for riding with cars (traffic), hats for trails, I would > assume. I do the same thing. > > On Nov 18, 1:15 p

Nice photos, and looks like a great time. Without starting a long thread about value of helmets, I wonder why you *brought* them if you weren't going to *wear* them? Why not just leave them at home? --Eric N On Nov 18, 2010, at 11:02 AM, Phil Bickford wrote: > Happy Birthday James - and tha
