PURPLE RIV IN BICYCLE QUARTERLY

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

The world famous Purple Riv and her owner have been featured on page 89 of the latest issue of Bicycle Quarterly.

What a great ambassador to the Rivendell community.

Way to go Ana.

My BQ hasn't yet arrived but I now know which page to turn to first.  I've loved following Ana's adventures on Instagram.  The Purple Riv is seeing some country.

Ana Candela (I love her name) has a very active bike life with her custom Riv Mixte. Check her out on Instagram!

Awesome, I live vicariously lately through her pics on Flickr and Instagram.

What's the story ? I mean gee, an announcement of a story without the story itself .....

'tis like that !

[sameness]

There is no story. There is only right now, forever and always. How could it be any different? 

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

What the story is...IS!

You had it coming, Garth. But I was mildly curious, too -- who is Ana and what is the deal with her and the Riv?

It was one smallish picture from the BQ Un-meeting, captioned something like, "Ana rode her Rivendell over hill and dale." That's it.

So long as we agree that you and me and William J. Clinton and Meister Eckhart all have a different definition of what "is" is, here's her Instagram.

No idea about the BQ feature, but it sounds like that was answered above.

Thank you Eric for the explanation .

[Eli Cochran]

Ana on Instagram = @purpleriv

[Ana Candela]

Thank you, Jon, Leah, Doug & Mark, for your kind words :)

Matt: the model is a custom mixte Glorius

Who is Ana? What’s the story? She’s one of the many participants at the Bicycle Quarterly Un-Meeting last month, a beautiful and challenging ride through the Tahuya Hills, a ferry ride away west of Seattle. BQ’s latest edition features many of the riders and bikes, some photos smallish, some biggish...

Ana,

Love your bike's color and the swoopy rear stay.  Seeing your Instagram pics reminded me of the song that  Johnny  Cash sings, "I've Been Everywhere, Man."  

Are you the person who had her bike stolen, to be purchased by a fellow "RBW-er" from someone who wasn't obviously the owner, and then returned to you?  This is a wonderful community.

Coolest Rivendell ever? Most likely!

[Clayton]

Sheeesh. I have never been corrected for making a compliment before. I was just being nice. I will concede I am socially clumsy, and have little practice. However......

Over the years, the drunk posts, the bickering, the snobs, the egos, the armchair experts are all taking a toll at the way I see Rivendell and the ‘scene’. Do I really want a new Riv? Not so much. The magic is gone and there are other makers.

I herby change my compliment to: “The most royal Riv ever?” (Purple is the color of royalty.)

[Ana Candela]

Thank you, Roberta! It wasn’t me who had her bike stolen —knock on wood 🤞 Glad that that person got it back! My bike and I sure hope to get to see many more places...

Clayton: Thank you! I think we all make our bikes the coolest for us! But I’ll take that mine is the coolest-royal-magical-bike 😁😉

[Deacon Patrick]

Ana, that non-meeting looks like a great ride, and the royal purple mile eater, with the smile it elicits from you, also looks like a great ride!

With abandon,
Patrick
