Hey everyone, if the Kentucky contingent (me, Huston and Tim) are a bit late to the bike swap, don’t fret… we will be there. We ended up grabbing some food beforehand but it’s looking like we won’t be there right at 3pm. See you there!- BrianOn Jun 30, 2023, at 10:52 AM, 'Gary L' via RBW Owners

The posters will be 16” x 20”, signed and numbered. I’m actually hand printing them this weekend. For those who cannot make the trip to Asheville, afterwards I’ll be putting any remaining posters up online with an Etsy link to purchase.- BrianOn Jun 28, 2023, at 8:58 PM, EverRed wrote:What are

Sorry to miss you next weekend Dick, but I'll let Brian know you'd like to
be on the list for one of his posters (which are so great!).
If anyone else is interested in a poster (see details in my last post) pls
let me know asap so I can give Brian a heads up on how many to print.

Gary, did you say there's an extra 55cm Cheviot lying around here in
Asheville? I could maybe help with that . . .

Ha! Gary, I honestly wanted to. And thank you for the offer to use a Cheviot! ♥️ But the 4th of July week is a high holy holiday in my family and we spend it at our family’s Minnesota lake house. I could never miss it, though I was sorely tempted. But I will live vicariously through your excellent

If you guys take photos and video and send them to me I can make you a
video like I do for our Michigan Riv Rides. Let me know if you want one.
It’s easy for me to do and would be a nice keepsake for you guys.

Thank you Gary for the update on the July 7-9 meet-up in Asheville!
As Gary said, we're planning a swap meet. We'll choose the location for

I just wanted to send a quick update about our Riv gathering July 7-9. You

Hi Laing,
Bent Creek fire roads are gravel, but not too rough. Greenway is almost all
paved except for a short gravel portion that we may or may not do.
Neighborhood ride is all paved. Your custom with 650b x 48 would be perfect
(and I'd like to see it!).

Hostel booked. Need to decide on which Riv (or Rivs). Is it all paved
and/or gravel? If so, I am thinking the Riv Custom with 650Bx48 Switchback
Hills would be the choice, so I need to quit dithering on the 90 vs. 100
stem and finally tape the handlebars.

Yes, July 7-9 is the weekend we are aiming for. Some of the asheville folks

option, a greenway ride, a quiet neighborhood ride, and lots of

Hi James,
Thanks for letting us know you might be interested in the Asheville weekend
ride in July. I'll be starting to actually plan stuff in a couple of weeks
with some other local Riv owners and will definitely keep you in the loop.

I would love to know more about Asheville area routes, once you folks do

definitely need to go back. (I just wish it wasn't such a looong drive
from northern NJ.)

Hi Pam! So glad you’re interested and hope you can make it. We will
certainly have lots of options ride-wise but haven’t nailed anything down
yet. Certainly lots of road and greenway options. Some of the gravel fire
roads are pretty mellow too. And we’ll definitely have time built in pre

I'm going to try to come. I'd like roads. What mileage options are we
thinking about? Obviously I would like plenty of time to see all the bikes
and meet all the owners so plenty of stops along the way and some time at
the beginning and end of the rides would be great. Want to bring stuff
Hi Laing,
We've not solidified ANY details yet, but I'd guess about 50/50 road/gravel
fire roads. There are also lots of single track options that we could map
out if anyone is interested in that. We will probably also map out shorter
and longer options for each day.

On Thursday, April 13,
Great. I guess we have a couple of months to nail down the details.
Is this going to be more roadish or more off-roadish / gravel? I just want
to make sure that I have the correct bicycle(s) assembled.

So, just to get this straight... did the previously proposed weekend of May

When you all call for a Riv ride "in" Asheville do you mean going over to
