Re: [RBW] New member introduction

Hi Patricia, I more or less followedthe bikepacking.com route called SF
peninsula traverse. Although the pacing was a lot faster than I could do,
and so I did some modifications on the route based on how I felt. The only
other thing I would mention is that riding a bike on skyline really sucks
because there’s minimal shoulder and it’s used as a racecourse by
motorcycles which is quite terrifying. There’s a trail that parallels the
road and I think the route uses it. Here’s a link to the route:
https://bikepacking.com/routes/sf-peninsula-traverse/

Good luck! Ryan

Hi Ray,

Beautiful bikes! I'm jealous!

What route did you do in the SC mountains? My boyfriend and I are
considering doing something like that this year but don't know where to
start. He's a mountain biker, I'm more of a road and gravel rider. We're
both familiar with the mountains, having hiked or ridden (or lived by) big
sections of them. He lives in Santa Cruz and I live in San Jose.

Happy riding!

P.

Re: [RBW] New Member Introduction—Sam Hillborne commuter

I’m west of both of you, East Longmeadow. My rides have been in this area 
as well as Northampton and Amherst and parts of Connecticut. I’ve never 
seen another Rivendell in the 26 years I have been riding here starting 
with my first Rivendell Road in 1997.

We’re bound to see each other someday, I cross Concord at the Sunoco and head 
up to Garden too. I then ride through the common to get over to the science 
area. Brattle is a beautiful ride and I’m loving the new bike lanes both there 
and on Garden...and the new bike traffic lights. So many great improvements for 
the commute in just the past year. Enjoy the ride!

I’m frequently pulling along a lazy puppy in a green trailer…you can’t miss me

Hi Jorge!

Also a Boston-area commuter here (Cambridge), and a fellow orange Riv 
rider! I have a Cheviot (with a Roadini on the way). I don't see many Riv's 
around and will keep my eye out for yours :)

Cheers,
Danielle
