Y'know, I THOUGHT after the fact that might have been your bike - http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/9761623313/ sorry we didn't meet up in person - I did cross paths with the tall 2TT Hilsen, as well. I thought I remembered him being on-list, but couldn't come up with the photo of him

Captured! Indeed that is mine. I think it is an existence proof that some black componentry can still look good on a bike. On Tuesday, September 17, 2013 8:23:42 AM UTC-7, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: Y'know, I THOUGHT after the fact that might have been your bike -

Hey Jim, what a great ride. Glad you were able to get out and do it. That sure is a huge turnout, getting up there towards a SIR level of participation. I don't think we've ever had an event here in OR with a 100 riders. As usual, pictures of my old stomping grounds make me homesick.

I was there, and it was a lovely day. It was my longest ride in quite a while, but I was determined to do it because I have a two-day, 130 mile adventure this Thursday/Friday. I saw Toshi at the finish, and spotted several Rivendells. A number of Hilsens, including a super tall orange 2TT

I don't usually read ride reports anymore and approaching 69 am not at all motivated to go past 3 hours, and I don't live in the Bay area (but visit once or twice a year) but i did read this report; and enjoyed the pictures too. No doubt a great day. Happy Birthday. BTW, I'll be spending my

Just got the email report from RBA Rob Hawks, who confirmed 95 started and ~50% (by show of hands estimate) were new to brevets. Along the route, there were at least four riders who got the elevator pitch for brevets from me - only because they had asked and said how much they wanted to try

Classy. Totally sorry that I missed out on this ride. Looks like a grand old time! I'm hoping, if the riding does well, to make it for the Marin Mountains 200k. On Sunday, September 15, 2013 6:46:20 PM UTC-7, hsmitham wrote: Mr. Cyclofiend, Well done ride report! Just the breakfast burrito
