[david]

just got back.
great ride.
and really nice meeting some of the guys from the salon.
6 hampstens among us.
some of us did about 55.
including the requisite dirt sections here and there.
have to say, my brand new strada bianca is really amazing.
at the mid-way point darren split off for a longer ride.
we should hear from them by tuesday.

christian - thanks for organizing!

All those Hampstens were very cool to see flashing down the road. I'll echo David--riding with Salonistas really adds a special element to the online community aspect. Also, thanks to Christian for pulling it together. Hopefully there will be some pics from the others. Tim

Today was what it was all about. Thanks guys.

Props to David for taking his Strada Bianca on a 50-mile, lots of dirt shakedown. That's how it's done.

Oof, I'm sore.

Thanks for having my cock at the Pig party. Good to see everyone.

Great riding with you guys, just wish my tire choice didn't necessitate utilizing the sag wagon

Here's a shot of the motley crew just before Darren split off a smaller group for a 3-hr tour...

Good times guys! Too bad we didn't all get lost and flat multiple times together.

[nycjames]

Thanks for organizing Christian. Sorry our 'brief detour' didn't bring us all back together.

Great to see faces to place with so many of the Salonistas! And the Hampstens -- just wow. Now we do need to get the WI pigfest to happen next spring. JonSnow has made some great attempts but we haven't been able to pull off a big participation ride. You guys are a great motivator.

Rode a white Peg instead of a white Pig. The latter was feeling under the weather last week.
Otherwise, there would have been eight.
Special thanks to Christian for organizing the ride and help towing me along.
It was a beautiful day !
