STP weekend, and a fine one it was. We were the beneficiaries of warm temps and tailwinds both days for about 204 miles.  I rode with 10,000 of my closest friends, and heard relatively few discouraging words, despite an abundance of pace lines and spandex.

Fellow Rivendell riders I observed included a Rambouillet and a shiny new Atlantis.  The trusty Bleriot performed well and received many nice compliments.  

Pictures prove it happened.

Andy did you ride with a guy named Frank by any chance? I think I recognize that Homer.

I had a great ride on my AHH with my two boys and my friend Tom, who rode his Bleriot. Had a nice riding chat with Eric from Davis CA on his Dahon (he was 1-dayin' it), saw a pretty Homer with a basket out front and newer-blue paint at the halfway point but couldn't find the owner to say hello, and that was about it.

Frank I thought I recognized your set up. Tim Tetrault from Eckstein here. Glad to hear both your boys did it with you this year.

It was indeed. Beautiful bike, and I'm sorry I missed the chance to say hello.

Hey Tim, good to hear from you. Maybe we'll see you on the road next year? The boys had fun, but they put in an effort. STP is Imminently doable for elementary and middle schoolers with planning and preparation, and a nice way to convey the import of perseverance and a sense of real accomplishment.

Frank and his sons had one of the most impressive setups on the entire ride. His boys looked like mini-randonneurs.

I do say that the AHH is my nominee as the ideal STP bicycle.

Christopher - You were the only other Riv rider I saw. Here's the pic of our bikes at the REI stop to prove it - http://www.flickr.com/photos/neutralbuoyancy/9349973266/in/set-72157634761138578/. That was right before I hooked up the stereo.
