THERE IT IS on page 34 of the Jan/Feb issue of Bicycling magazine:

8 GREAT CLUB RIDES-- AND HOW TO JOIN IN THE RIDE -- Rose Bowl Vintage Ride (Pasadena, CA) THE VIBE -- Casual-paced 25 miles; pre-1985 bicycles encouraged THE 411 -- Brookside Park pool/picnic-area parking lot, first Sun. of each month, 11 a.m.; http://www.velo-retro.com

Can you imagine??? Instead of the usual 15 or 20 regulars (sometimes 3) each month, I'm picturing like, oh what, 200 to 300 guys on their Peugeot UO8s, Gitane TdFs, Rene Herse Randonneurs, and Confente Stradas. Maybe a Pasadena Police escort, coverage by an L.A. Times photog and writer and parking attendants showing everyone where to park???

I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning!!! <grin> (And special <grin> for my new brutha Ben.)
