Subject: [CR]San Diego Vintage Ride....a fantastic success!!!

Greetings All, I wanted to thank Sterling Peters and his lovely wife Regina for hosting a wonderful ride on Sunday. I didn't count but my memory is there were about 2 dozen riders including 3 tandems.

There was a wide selection of classic bicycles... Eisentrout, Cinelli, Colnago, Masi(s), Guerciotti, Paramount(s), Baylis(s), Pogliaghi, Raleigh, Bianchi, Mercian and many others! Everything from fixed gears to tandems.

Great refreshments before and a BBQ after...A DVD was running off to the side with Coppi, Anquetil, Merckx and then recent TdF footage. The BBQ was on a spacious 2 level patio with views of downtown San Diego.

As a treat Jim Ogden, Sterling's neighbor and a vintage cyclist gave several of us a tour of his turn-of-the-century house and then his garages with 2 early Pope automobiles, a Jensen Interceptor III and the 1930's Rolls Royce Phantom II.

An outstanding time was had by all- Thanks again!
