Bay Area Riv enthusiasts - is anybody partaking in the SF Randonneurs'

103 km through Marin County...Headlands, Tiburon, up most of Tam, then back
to SF...about 20% fire roads. Supposed to get a shot of rain this week, so
the dirt will be mmmgood.
There must be a covered bridge somewhere on that ride!!!

Gotta respect Surly for their out-of-the-box way of doing it, as much as
you gotta respect Riv for the same thing. My LHT was the stepping stone to
a Sam Hillborne, and I know I'm not the only one. My LHT taught me that
riding a steel 'road' bike in the dirt is fun, and the Sam confirmed it.

Just a thought, Dave - but are you using a hanger-stop (eg Nitto) that
attaches to the seatpost bolt? And, if so- was it perhaps getting

You're right, George. Hypoxia is a challenge to avoid when exerting one's

Aye. I use the Jesus prayer on the climbs that I know don't push my
capacity (I suspect this one will always push my capacity!). Both are
beautiful ways to enter contemplative bliss when climbing and simply find
