Great report, looks like a great trip. I'm taking my Appa on a tour to
Wales next month, this has really got me excited for it.
I run 50c Soma Cazaderos with fenders and I would think 2.1" would fit
without any issues.

I'm aware of my relative youth. Two years ago, I spent the first 20 miles
of our 300k listening to everyone else talk about how they got into
randonneuring because their kids were grown and they just didn't need to be
around that much anymore.

Hi John,
I think this is a 2020 Roadini, so the answer is probably first gen. I
bought the frame off this list. In theory it clears a 38mm tire; the
biggest I've tried is 35mm. I had 32mm Continental Grand Prix 4 Seasons on
it for this ride, which seems to be the sweet spot for most riding I do
Is this a first gen, or later roadini? Curious: on what tires did you ride
this event? Any pictures?

Grew up in Reston during the '70s and '80s, my 7th/8th grade riding buddy,

the trailside sign at Ashburn Station that stated the town population of

Thanks so much, Pam :)
I'm up in Virginia, about an hour north of Richmond, but riding further
west.
I used to have some fam down in Charlotte but they've moved. If I'm ever
down that way I'll drop a line!

Great ride report. Leaving for the Cycle NC Mountains to Coast ride, which
has been cut down to 5 days from 7, on Sun. I wasn't looking forward to
the climbs. Maybe it's working out for the best. I'm in Charlotte and
would be up for a ride anytime. Where are you? I'm on Warm Showers if
Thank you, Keith.
Virginia humidity, like a lot of the East and the South, can be oppressive
for months on end. Wonderful out here in October and April. This September
has been far less humid than what I'm used to, lots of nice days earlier
than normal.
I have more trouble with mosquitoes
Great report.
Every time I see your photos of Virginia I can't figure out why *everyone*
doesn't live there.
Is it the humidity? Ticks?
Beautiful stuff!

Thanks a bunch, Chris. Encouraging anyone to get out and ride is quite the
compliment!

Oh wow, great report, Eric! Thanks for sharing it. I'm with everyone else
when I say it made me want to hop on the bike and go for a long one.

Re: the Nano Puff, I currently own two jackets (hooded and non-hooded), and
the vest. I've long considered the Nano Puff hoodie to be one of the best,
most essential pieces of outdoor gear I have ever owned. That said, I
cannot ride in one, or do anything strenuous in one for very long... even
Thank you, Junes! On my ride today I was thinking I should have stopped to
take photos of the road surfaces, could be interesting to share with the
group. But with all the climbing I was discouraged from stopping.
J — I forget that synthetic and natural down layers are for keeping you
warm
Great ride report Eric, looks like a lovely time. I'm just one state over
from you and would totally make the trip to accompany you on a ride. I've
have not been very impressed with my Patagonia Nano Puff. It's not great
for physical activities.
