Hello friends,

I just completed a wonderful, if not quite pleasant, ride on my racing Rivendell Rambouillet. 420 miles from Salt Lake City to St George, UT in 28 hours and 1 minute ( http://salttosaint.com/ ). We didn't get many pictures, but here I am ( https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/KARNLpmQ24hBc7khJ3Jy7Q?feat=directlink ) at the start about to attach a rain jacket, which would get MUCH use, on to the small Sackville TrunkSack. It can be seen hiding behind my helmet there. The trunk matches perfectly with the green Rambouillet, Brooks saddle, bar tape... or I should say, "matched". After all of the aforementioned items carried me, in fine fashion, all the way to southern Utah, someone decided to steal my TrunkSack right off of my bike. Rivendell doesn't have the green sack any more, so I am hoping one of you fine folks might have one in your basement that is not being used and would be willing to part with it. I don't want it if it's being put to good service. If you can help please contact me. Thank you.

Long live long rides,
BykMor

Did you do that solo?
Too bad about the bag.

Hello Jay,
Made it solo! Longest ride of my life. I've liked my Rivendell for some time, but I can now honestly, and after thorough testing, report that the Rambouillet position and a well broken Brooks saddle are a VERY comfortable way to ride a bicycle. Only two people asked my how old my bike was ;-)
