The weather gods smiled upon Jim Thill's excellent organization of the Riv Rally Midwest. Unfortunately, I had to leave at the end of Saturday. I'm sure they're enjoying another epic, scenic tour today. Some photos from Grant's appearance at Hiawatha, the ride from Minneapolis to Red Wing on Fr

We managed to schedule Grant's book-signing visit for May 31 at Hiawatha Cyclery in Minneapolis, MN, which dovetails nicely into the Midwest Riv rally that begins the following day, June 1 in Red Wing, MN. It's going to be a solid 4-5 days of Riv-ish bike fun. And you're invited! Here's some de

Great plan Jim. 1 Riv + Slow Rider planning to attend. No distance iobjectionable. Okay, under 50 miles could be objectionable. Sounds too fun for less. Sean Cleary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion

I wrote down my loose plan for the Midwest Riv Rally. I'm not much for micromanaging herds of cats or groups of cyclists. My general approach to larger group rides is that it's an semi-cohesive association of self-responsible individuals. If you have to come or go at a different time or you can
