Pete: The only traffic we're likely to experience will be Day 1 heading out of Boston. From my experience, once you get outside of Boston along the South Shore, the snarl rapidly morphs into pure charm... the smells of the ocean overtaking the senses.

I'm in southwestern CT (Norwalk to be exact) and might be able to join for a bit. Originally from RI, so I know and have visited a lot of the places on the "Maritime" segment, but not on a bike, so it would be very interesting. The traffic isn't so bad along the "shore" in October. Keep us posted. -Pete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

There's a group of us in South County riding Thursdays and Saturdays, very mellow rides, lots of dirt, lots of hills, good views, and always a fine (carried) lunch - email me offlist if you'd like to join (we often go into Connecticut / Litchfield County - Canaan mountain Rd from Norfolk, one of the best rides around here).

Re: [RBW] Re: New England Riv Ride?
I'm in Litchfield County but very often drive up to Sheffield to ride through Berkshire County and would agree, it's fabulous. Lightly travelled back roads and a high tolerance for bicyclists for the most part. All sorts of roads from flat to rolling to lots of hills. Between, Litchfield, Berkshire, and Columbia Counties, it's a whole world of local riding.

The appeal for me is the festival atmosphere after the ride. everyone is geeking out on bikes, eating good food and having a great time after an amazing ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I ride out there everyday and am always open to showing them off to any rider with interest. I own the Trailhead Cafe' in town and can be reached there most days... or met out on the carriage roads as the local retrogrouch. With regard to D2R2... I've ridden the long course the past two years and wouldn't consider myself in superb condition or to have mad dirt road skills. I found it to be a nice long ride in the country with LOTS of climbing. Maybe I'm selling myself short and am a stud in disguise!

[RBW] Re: New England Riv Ride?
Steve's not wrong that this is a CHALLENGE but the routes and people are fantastic. If you end the day not smiling, then it's been a very bad day!! I just checked this year's information on the D2R2 and it's 40 miles (the bailout route) or your choice of metric 100K, 115K or 180K. The 115K is new and the routes get tweeked every year. The longer routes "sell out" first for practical reasons, so if you want to really crank it, sign up early. For Riv types, it's one of the events most aligned with folks on this forum. I mentioned Peter Wiegle (who rides by the way) but the bikes you see are off the charts. Many handbuilt lugged steel bikes from the best frame builders (Wiegle, Circle A, Iglehart, Moots, Independaent Fabrication, etc.) things like bamboo and wood frames, classic 60's - 80's French, British, and Italian, etc. ... the rest stops are an exercise in bike lust! I generally see a handfull of Rivs but I never to get to see all the bikes in one place. If my bones come together in time, I'll be there. If you want to come home with a great story to tell, this is it!

I'm recovering from shoulder surgery so can't join in. Different month, but if anyone on the list is in central MA or southern VT on August 27th, check into the D2R2, one of the best events in New England. I think they have 40 mile, metric century and regular century options. Part road but mostly gravel woods roads. Lots of Riv type bikes and guys like Peter Wiegle show up every year. Harris Cyclery (of Sheldon Brown fame) is always well represented. The D2R2 doesn't have a web site per se but Google it and you'll get a lot of info.

I live on the Cape . I've done the rides you're talking about . It's a great time to do it . The tourists have all gone away until next summer .

As part of my October New England Nomadic Sojourn, I'm working on the Maritime segment... Boston - Martha's Vineyard - Cape Cod Loop... a (somewhat ambitious) multi-day, multi-modal light tour that will combine train, boat and bike. Day One would start with a pedal from some point in Boston to South Station, rolling onto the train (from Boston to Plymouth), then a 45- mile pedal to Woods Hole (scenic, with some rail trail), followed by a ferry to Martha's Vineyard, and a short pedal to lodging/camping, still TBD Day Two would consist of an all-day bike tour of the interior of Martha's Vineyard (which if you've never been is one of the most beautiful places on earth, in my opinion) Day Three would begin with a ferry ride to Hyannis (on Cape Cod), followed by a 50 mile pedal (including the Cape Cod Rail Trail) to Provincetown, ending with a beautiful late afternoon/evening boat ride back into Boston. Boy that would be SOME RIDE!!! Now let me see if all the transportation and lodging components exist to pull this off! Anyone wishing to join me, I hope you like fried clams, chowder and beer... This could be like a Man vs Food Biking episode... Peace, BB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Do you know of anyone making cycling bib shorts with minimal padding? Maybe akin to the old leather chamois and nothing more? My Brooks B17 now fits so well I find padding to be a numbing nuisance on long rides. Steve On Jul 14, 7:26 pm, fulf wrote: > I'd be interested in riding the Acadia part.

I'd be interested in riding the Acadia part. I've ridden the carriage roads there before and they are awesome. You can ride the entire day and never meet up with a car. Plus there's the Jordan House where they serve great food with a wonderful view. If the dates line up I'd love to ride those trails with other Riv riders.
