[RBW] Re: My Bike Life Is Lacking
Last year I moved to the top of a really big hill. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I'm not the strong rider I was 10 years ago (a long story involving less riding as I sank deeper into alcoholism..I'm 10 months sober and slowly getting stronger again), and I was talking myself out of a lot of rides because I didn't want that climb home. I recently picked up a used electric bike to see how I liked it, and it has increased my time on the bike quite a bit. I still have my Bleriot and several other human-power-only bicycles which I still ride, but now I have the assisted-pedaling power when I want it. Maybe you could get something like that for the 20 mile store rides. Joe sometimes a little help is helpful Bernard Vallejo, CA.

[RBW] Re: My Bike Life Is Lacking
Joe, I'm glad to hear that you are recovering and riding again. Didn't I buy the Sequoia my wife has been riding from you? Maybe a decade or so ago. She rode it around town until we bought the tandem... since then she mostly wants to ride coupled. Like you and Leah I live at the bottom of a long hill and at the edge of the Green Mountains. Pat is vertically challenged and never volunteers to take on the mountains. We also live 2-4 miles down a dirt road which is sometimes not very appealing to ride on. Pat and I love our bike racks. She especially likes the Saris hitch rack which doesn't require lifting a bike overhead, but we will need to buy a bar attachment to mount the Betty on it. The tandem goes on a Yakima roof rack which has a swing out arm to ease mounting. I often drive out to pavement or we drive down into the Champlain Valley to ride or over to some good back roads on Grand Isle. When I was commuting, Pat would drive me to the pavement during mud season. The Adirondacks, on the other side of Lake Champlain offer more modest grades and great shoulders. My point is don't get discouraged, just get creative. I also remember fondly riding with my kids and am looking forward to riding with my grandchildren, now 3 1. It turned out to be a great way to keep communication channels open as they moved through adolescents. We would ride along chatting. If the conversation took an adversarial tone we would drift apart on the next hill, come back together and start over in a new place. As for riding now,... maybe soon. We are having a warming trend, from minus 22 to minus 5 in just 4 days! warmth, blessings, and rain for Ca.

[RBW] Re: My Bike Life Is Lacking
+1 for Manny's words. I think about that each day these last months in the frozen wonderland I have been commuting. Not a very long trip either way, but it has been interesting at a level different from my fair weather cycling. The wide temperature shifts (+28° to -10°), varied precipitation (grapple, columns, rime, and plain old dendrites) and the surface situations (salt slush, brown snow, white pack, frozen slush, ice...) take my mind away and intrigue me with the sounds made by the advancing wheels and the different ways the stuff sticks to my bike's wheels and eventually discharges whether by centrifugal force, mechanical propulsion (freezing slush pushed through aluminum fenders by the turning studded tire) or the force of a driving headwind from the north. If I don't embrace what some might dismiss easily as really awful biking I'd be down to nothing, except my old rollers and the absolutely mind-numbing sessions of self-mortification they bring clearly back to me as a reminder of how much sensation is available to you on any ride, at any time, nearly any place. They motivated my earliest winter riding, late in the night with imperfect preparations and along odd ways to avoid traffic and those evil cylinders of sensory depravation. I'll take a short ride outside anytime.

Lots of times we stop, take pictures, have lunch, coffee, or just hang out. Hope this helps.

Re: [RBW] My Bike Life Is Lacking
Great job asking hard questions! The school rides sound like a great start. Cultivate contentment. A funny thing happens when I shift from being frustrated with a situation to being content with the wonders and gifts I have in that situation. I start to see options, ways and means, that had not occurred to me before. Are there parks in the area? Coffee shops? Bike rack and hit a remote dirt road and explore? Take a wandering ride and explore down the hill a bit. not all the way, but enough to wander. You might be surprised what you discover from a bike that you miss from a car. Read Yehuda Moon and Kickstand Cyclery: http://yehudamoon.com (he has a series on biking to school you'll find all too true and hilarious). There is abundance all around you, the challenge is to unwrap it even though it looks different that what you would love it to be. Let us know how you get on! Oh, and anything using your Rivendell is not abuse, it's use, so no qualms from me on piling them all in a jumble in the back of your van.

The principal has been trying to get parents to create bicycle buses and walk to school - to no avail. We brave the streets when we can and take the sidewalk (legal here) when we can't - which is frequently because everyone drives and the sidewalks are free and clear! I'd love to join up with a bicycle bus. Would be difficult to organize here, but maybe! The trip into town and back would take most of a day on bike. It is smooth sailing downhill, but holy smokes, getting home would be awful. Even if I could manage it, it would be a lot of suffering. Definitely a no-go with kiddos. I would like to get a bike rack for the van and maybe find other venues to cycle in on weekends as a family. We actually did go to Hoover Dam today with the bikes shoved in the back of the van and it was good. But I didn't even dare take a pic for this group - it was too shameful the way that classy Betty was being transported. Hubby's classless Target Special with the crooked handlebars and wobbly rear wheel was rubbing against her something awful. I'd have been banned from the list for Rivendell abuse for sure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] My Bike Life Is Lacking
You guys have cheered me right up! I told my husband, Babe, you oughtta like these people even more than I - they've brightened my outlook and spared you from listening to your wife bemoan her bike situation! Addison: I live in Henderson. I hear Reno is nice; my husband flies there when he has business with the governor. I think I saw some of your photos from your lovely Reno once, and it truly looks to be a gem! There aren't villages on the mountain; but a few miles down it there are a few businesses (CVS, Starbucks, Postnet, etc). I've often wondered if I could get back up it on my bike; it's quite steep, but maybe without kids Joe: Good job on 10 months! E-bike is a great idea! Michael H: Bike racks! Brilliant! I'm going to explore that option this week! Andy from Pgh: my sister and her husband live in Pittsburgh and are looking to relocate to Lawrenceville. They work in downtown law offices and would become bike commuters! (They presently live downtown and walk everywhere.) they have run into a very cool bikes-guy and talked a bit with him about bikes and bike commuting, wonder if it was you? I sent them some Rivendell stuff for Christmas to make their bike commuting easier. If you have anything else to add about commuting in Pgh, please share! And to all of you who mentioned contentment in all circumstances, you are certainly right. I am so blessed to have my little bike journey with my boys and I am going to engage my senses more and try to savor each trip. It's good to remember that everyone else does not have a perfect bike situation either, but rather they are making the most of what they do have and exercising gratitude on their way.

[RBW] Re: The why post? You decide.
It was a righteous ride with some spirited philosophical conversation. Being on the bike focuses me on the present. Sometimes you can think only about each individual pedal stroke, and that is at times, my form of meditation. As an atheist I try to find solace in the present. I would argue that regardless ones' philosophical persuasion, the most fulfilling way to experience life is in the present. Then again, it's difficult to meditate completely on the present, in this difficult world, and all its problems... but each pedal stroke at a time. the why for me, is why-not?... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: School me on wool...
Speaking of wool washing... I just picked up some Ecover Delicate Wash, which is rated for wool. I got it basically because I was interested in how it works and it's about half as much as Kookaburra. Seems to be working, but I've only done a few loads. It's lavender scented, though. I don't mind it, but the scent isn't as nice as Kookaburra, and reading a few reviews online the scent is the #1 thing people comment on. I've also used Dr. Bronners too, though it's not recommended for modern front-loading high-efficiency washers. Another thing: While I like Kookaburra and its pleasant scent, sometimes it's just a bit too gentle to get out strong odors, especially from things like socks and baselayers. I usually put a little baking soda in the load, and that takes care of that. yours, Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

As I re-read Patrick's words, it sounds to me like he's using the difference between right and wrong as a way to find God, not using God to be told the difference between right and wrong.

Re: [RBW] My Bike Life Is Lacking
Maybe some of the Betty awesomeness will rub off on your husband's bike in the car! :^) I've loved the responses to your post, and the bike bus might be workable. With 1000 students, there must be 1500 parents; if even 1% thought, Yeah, I could try that, you'd have 15 kids. And... that would be a great way to identify people around you who might be up for a coffee break by bike. These are the two things I would try in your situation: Initiate the bike bus thing with the school. Be the contact person. Suddenly everyone in school will know you as the bike lady. - Limit your expectations - if you get no one join you, you are still advancing your goal - Initiate and follow up on conversations about bikes and bike riding. Basically acquaint yourself with anyone who ever rode a bike. - A possible outcome: you might make friends a couple miles away, and bike to their house for coffee once a week. Go to Starbucks by bike once a week at the same time. Mention this in your bike conversations. I'm certain you can ride back up that hill, but if you have to walk sometimes, walking is good. And... three: Download Strava or look at Google Maps and try to figure out a labyrinth route in your neighborhood. You can do a long ride in a small area, with a goal of riding the labyrinth. You will also go by every house and every street. Even if you don't see people, they'll see you. When I moved to Oregon, my son and I would ride to school every day, and several people struck up a conversation with oh, I see you riding your kid to school every morning. I'd never seen them, because they were in their houses. So even without the labyrinth idea, I think there's something worthwhile in taking the kids for an afternoon ride to make an Etch-a-sketch shape in the neighborhood. That just sounds fun - print out a map, make a shape, follow the shape, enjoy it on Strava (or runkeeper, or Google Tracks, or whatever). You'll be seen riding, your 'rides to nowhere' will have an amusing component, and you'll just be riding. Good luck in your new home! Philip www.biketinker.com Limit your expectations, but you may be able to leverage that visibility into other bike-related relationships. Ideally, you might find another person a couple miles away that you'd like to have coffee with once or twice a week, and you could get there by bike. My perspective is totally different - until the last couple years, bike riding was a way for me to get AWAY from people. I'm still completely out of step bike-wise with the people around me, but I enjoy their company.

We also live 2-4 miles down a dirt road which is sometimes not very appealing to ride on. Pat and I love our bike racks. She especially likes the Saris hitch rack which doesn't require lifting a bike overhead, but we will need to buy a bar attachment to mount the Betty on it. The tandem goes on a Yakima roof rack which has a swing out arm to ease mounting. I often drive out to pavement or we drive down into the Champlain Valley to ride or over to some good back roads on Grand Isle. When I was commuting, Pat would drive me to the pavement during mud season. The Adirondacks, on the other side of Lake Champlain offer more modest grades and great shoulders. My point is don't get discouraged, just get creative. I also remember fondly riding with my kids and am looking forward to riding with my grandchildren, now 3 1. It turned out to be a great way to keep communication channels open as they moved through adolescents. We would ride along chatting. If the conversation took an adversarial tone we would drift apart on the next hill, come back together and start over in a new place. As for riding now,... maybe soon.

Then again, it's difficult to meditate completely on the present, in this difficult world, and all its problems... but each pedal stroke at a time. the why for me, is why-not?... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: SFR 200K 1-25-14 - a set on Flickr
I don't know much about Rando-ing. Do you have to qualify to get into PBP? I notice you say that doing a 1000k this year gets you ready for PBP next year. Can you complete a series and register for PBP the same year, or is registration over by the time a set o' brevets is done for the year? Do most Rando-peeps aim for a full series, or do most just go for the rides up to 400k? Are shorter rides offered in Rando clubs all year, or do they go in distance order, so your season might and in May if you only do the shorter rides? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: SFR 200K 1-25-14 - a set on Flickr
To qualify for PBP you need to complete a Super Randonneur series (200k, 300k, 400k, and 600k). I'm not sure about PBP but I know when I did the Cascade 1200k, I qualified with an SR series from the year before. As for what most people do... Here in Oregon there's always a bigger turn out for the 200k and 300k than for the longer brevets. There are 100k permanents which people do on their own schedule. Check out the RUSA website--www.rusa.org. Also, not sure where you live Michael, but check and see if there's a local randonneuring club. Nneurd out. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: SFR 200K 1-25-14 - a set on Flickr
Great set of photos Eric. Thanks for posting. I sure do miss riding down there. Until I moved to OR and started randonneuring the ride from SF to the Pt Reyes Lighthouse and back was the longest ride I had ever done. Good luck with PBP. Any thoughts of doing the Cascade 1200k this year? The 2012 Cascade was the last randonneuring event I did. I sat out last year and am definitely sitting out this year. Well, might do a perm or two this summer if I can. Hopefully I'll return to it in 2015. While I can see doing 200k, 300k and 600k brevets again, I don't know that I'll ever do another 400k (just too long) or a 1200k (I'd rather go bike camping for 4 days). --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: My Bike Life Is Lacking
Hi Leah, With regards to the bike bus, contact Safe Routes to School (SFTS). They have coordinators in your district, information online how to start a bike bus and webinars. I am the bike/bus coordinator for my local elementary school located on a freeway otherwise known as Sunset Blvd. here in LA. Using SRTS online tools and talking with some of their coordinators I was able to get the school to join the national walk to school day. Because it hadn't happened before we had over 30 parents and children come out on a cloudy day that every feared would bring more rain. A councilman and the city attorney walked with the students, along the director of SoCal SRTS. The comment I heard most from the children was, Can we do this everyday. Some parents even parked and walked. It seems like a daunting task to organize a bike bus but like you've learned from the other posters on your thread--you're not alone! I too am organizing a bike to school ride on the national bike to school day in May. Join me through SRTS.

I have a beautiful Betty Foy that practically begs to be ridden and I just don't get her out enough. I'm grateful for the school commute, I just gotta figure out where else I can go... I would guess some of you guys had times in your life where you had to live in a less-than-bikey community. How did you deal?

[RBW] Paddle-to-the-Sea
My wife discovered and bought a book I read once in elementary school and then in faded into the mist but stuck with me in ways the great stories do after even one telling. Paddle-to-the-Sea exemplifies the spirit of Rivendell, as least as I experience it. It is a joy to get to share it with my kids. It has a spirit of creation and craftsmanship, wild adventure, long waylays, seeming destruction turned to renewal and unexpected help for the helpless, ardent adventurer on a noble quest, and selfless love and giving of strangers crossing paths for brief periods, both the better for the encounter.

[RBW] Any kindred spirits in Connecticut?
So I've been working in CT now for a year and a half. I'm in the New Haven area and except for one charity ride this fall all of my riding has been solo. Even though I've ridden quite a lot I've put on weight and am in the process of taking it off. That's going well but I've decided some goals will help me stay focused so I'm planning on some brevets on Long Island. I'm going for a 200k and 300k in May. Maybe I'll go for more after that. Anyway, I'd really like to join some other Riv owners this spring. It doesn't have to be training rides or even long distance but that would be fine too. Training, rambles, trails...any and all would be great. I have a Homer and a Hunqapillar with me so...how about it? If there's no one close any route suggestions would be welcomed.

[RBW] Re: The Windsor Rides!
Thanks all. I got the racks and fenders installed. It is a lot of work doing this kind of integrated install. The rear has no frame mounted stays. It bolts on at the dropout and then bolts to the fender in two places. The front attaches at the dropout, at the crown with a daruma, and to the rack platform. Now I'm ready for just about anything. Except now that the fenders are fully fitted, now I get to take them back off for pinstriping! http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5505/12163782924_3a12bb038c_z.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3743/12163777364_83e0628197_z.jpg On Thursday, January 23, 2014 10:22:19 PM UTC-8, grrlyrida wrote: What a beautiful bike.

[RBW] Re: The why post? You decide.
Years ago when I had a subscription to Bicycling magazine, they had a story about this amazing cyclist who was as fast as anyone on the TdF. The problem was that he refused to race. He would spend hours on his bike in the mountains, even refusing full time work so he could spend his day riding in what I believed was Colorado. Cycling was meditative for him and at the end of the story he said, Cycling is my religion. That quote has always stuck with me, because when I ride the Hollywood Hills it's like my escape where I find balance. I find my church; I find my religion.

I finished the 200k on Saturday with my persimmon Ram. My first brevet. I hadn't done any training except one 75 miler two weeks ago, and my 14 mile commute across san francisco and back. I wasn't very fast; I wouldn't be surprised to learn that I was the last one in. If you don't mind a certain amount of pain and discomfort, you don't need to train. The time limits are pretty generous. The ride though might have been more enjoyable with more preparation and training. I'm looking forward to finding out on my next one.

Cycling was meditative for him and at the end of the story he said, Cycling is my religion. That quote has always stuck with me, because when I ride the Hollywood Hills it's like my escape where I find balance. I find my church; I find my religion.

Paddle-to-the-Sea exemplifies the spirit of Rivendell, as least as I experience it. It is a joy to get to share it with my kids. It has a spirit of creation and craftsmanship, wild adventure, long waylays, seeming destruction turned to renewal and unexpected help for the helpless, ardent adventurer on a noble quest, and selfless love and giving of strangers crossing paths for brief periods, both the better for the encounter.

[RBW] Re: School me on wool...
I have smart wool products and liked them initially, but have since found them to tear a bit too easily and I'm generally very gentle with wool garments. I love their socks though wear em all the time in any weather. I like the Ibex garments but I think they're extremely expensive...I have two short sleeve shirts, arm and leg warmers. What I've found is I don't like wool bike specific clothing, I can't stand rear pockets to stash things that's why I have racks and bags for goodness sake. I love the MUSA SS t-shirts that Rivendell sells great price and quality, they work well either as a base or by them selves well above 80 degrees. Planning on picking up a wooly warm tweed sweater real soon. Disclaimer: Since I live in the land of the furnace I have come to accept that wool only suits very narrow times here in SoCal so the others obviously will have better feed back on temps below 40 degrees.

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis w/ some fatties!
http://dr2dc.blogspot.com/2014/01/national-mall-snow-ride.html Certainly not a definitive 'test', but each time I'm out w/ these 2.1 tires I'm loving them more. The National Mall has a crushed stone walkway going down either side of it and my wife and I took a very leisurely and relatively short ramble w/ the knobby-tired-bikes this morning. I wanted to play in the snow a bit but also keep the exposure to the cold brief enough that I'd get her company. Great time all around. We warmed up in the US Botanic Garden taking in the warmth, humidity and gorgeous greenness that we are definitely lacking this time of year in DC. I'm primed to ride most of the week for my commute after lying low last week. Can't wait to get back in the saddle!

Re: [RBW] Re: SFR 200K 1-25-14 - a set on Flickr
Lots of people have ridden PBP having never ridden a brevet prior to the start of the year that PBP is in. (whatever year that may have been...) However, due to the popularity of the event, the organizers have had to come up with some sort of way of limiting participation. I went in 2007 and there were 5300 participants, it was quite a crowd. Ergo, for 2011 and now 2015, your order of registration is now based on the length of ride you did in the year prior to PBP. In other words, people that do a 1000 or 1200K in 2014 will get to register prior to people who didn't do a 1000 or 1200K the year before. Here is the information for 2015: http://www.paris-brest-paris.org/index2.php?lang=encat=inscriptionpage=comment_sinscrire That being said, from what I heard about 2011, every American that wanted to go was able to register. I didn't go back in 2011 but I am planning a trip in 2015. As for this year I will be doing a 1000K with Lone Star Randonneurs in the DFW area in May and I'm coming out to the California Central Coast 1200K. I chose the 1200 rather than the 1000 because I have never successfully completed at 1200K...yet. I hope to meet at least one of you at the start of 3CR ;) -Jim On Sun, Jan 26, 2014 at 2:05 PM, Michael john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: I don't know much about Rando-ing. Do you have to qualify to get into PBP? I notice you say that doing a 1000k this year gets you ready for PBP next year. Can you complete a series and register for PBP the same year, or is registration over by the time a set o' brevets is done for the year? Do most Rando-peeps aim for a full series, or do most just go for the rides up to 400k? Are shorter rides offered in Rando clubs all year, or do they go in distance order, so your season might and in May if you only do the shorter rides? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

It bolts on at the dropout and then bolts to the fender in two places. The front attaches at the dropout, at the crown with a daruma, and to the rack platform. Now I'm ready for just about anything. Except now that the fenders are fully fitted, now I get to take them back off for pinstriping! http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5505/12163782924_3a12bb038c_z.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3743/12163777364_83e0628197_z.jpg On Thursday, January 23, 2014 10:22:19 PM UTC-8, grrlyrida wrote: What a beautiful bike.

I rode it around the block and I'm extremely pleased so far. The real highlight is that the 40 year old Dia Compe centerpull brakes have extraordinary braking power. I'm really really impressed. It's not done in my mind until the racks and fenders are on, but getting it to rideable was a big step. The racks ought to be in soon, maybe tomorrow, and then I'll be able to do the rack and fender install. Even without racks, the Saddlesack Medium fits, so this bike is S24O ready. It's full Alba-smile worthy. Imperfection side story. I was so thrilled how the bar tape looked with clear shellac. I ran out of clear and rushed down to the hardware store. They were down to their last can of clear, and that can was kind of banged up. It had splatter and drips on it, but it seemed full when I shook it. Whatever. I bought it and have done a couple more coats of clear. It's looking more amber, and the one side that I first did with clear looks lighter than the side that got three coats of this tainted can.

Plans are for a gentle Man/Woman 's leisurely ride from Ventura, Ca up the bike path to Ojai and camp at any number of campgrounds in the vicinityTBD. One thing is certain that Bikes, beers and books are on the agenda and good food is a must. I'm working on the unofficial S240 a month club and this will be my second of the year...a post of January's adventure will be coming and after such an epic one I thought it'd be nice to dial down the epic with a dose of country leisure. The point here is if it doesn't work for ya all it's no big deal as I'll have a back up solo one planned...hey it's the Boy Scout in me always be prepared. Thanks to Curtis McKinzie for forwarding the blog pathlesspedaledhttp://pathlesspedaled.com/2014/01/rode-trip-exploring-ojai-by-bike/ which helped loads in coming up with an easy peasy overnight. *Note:* *If your a lurking and don't own a Rivendell currently and have nothing planned on the dates no big deal! Just chime in and come along for the fun.* Here is the Poll http://doodle.com/mbzc9mgspv9e7iqq the dates are what are available for me and the times are arrival times per Amtrak Surfliner.

Re: [RBW] My Bike Life Is Lacking
Leah, Yo know that saying pictures proved.. yada..blah blah blah. Banned from abuse of your Rivendell? If I haven't gotten banned yet. You should be fine.

I told my husband, Babe, you oughtta like these people even more than I - they've brightened my outlook and spared you from listening to your wife bemoan her bike situation! Addison: I live in Henderson. I hear Reno is nice; my husband flies there when he has business with the governor. I think I saw some of your photos from your lovely Reno once, and it truly looks to be a gem! There aren't villages on the mountain; but a few miles down it there are a few businesses (CVS, Starbucks, Postnet, etc). I've often wondered if I could get back up it on my bike; it's quite steep, but maybe without kids Joe: Good job on 10 months! E-bike is a great idea! Michael H: Bike racks! Brilliant! I'm going to explore that option this week! Andy from Pgh: my sister and her husband live in Pittsburgh and are looking to relocate to Lawrenceville. They work in downtown law offices and would become bike commuters! (They presently live downtown and walk everywhere.) they have run into a very cool bikes-guy and talked a bit with him about bikes and bike commuting, wonder if it was you? I sent them some Rivendell stuff for Christmas to make their bike commuting easier. If you have anything else to add about commuting in Pgh, please share! And to all of you who mentioned contentment in all circumstances, you are certainly right. I am so blessed to have my little bike journey with my boys and I am going to engage my senses more and try to savor each trip. It's good to remember that everyone else does not have a perfect bike situation either, but rather they are making the most of what they do have and exercising gratitude on their way.

[RBW] Saddle Tattoos and Hot Chocolate!
Enjoy the short rides. With the stresses of work and school. It's important to remember to make time for yourself. Long ride, short rides, mixed terrain or road. all of that matters is that you have the simple things. Good views, great friends, and good cheese. Hot chocolate works well too. Pictures Proved that unedited photos doesn't mean I'm trying to be artsy I just don't have a computer to edit photos: http://flic.kr/ps/Chtka Manny Hot Chocolate is the jam Acosta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
