One of the organizers of the Rose Hill Rally is Ed Lipton, an attorney I remembered from my days practicing law, and the first Public Defender in Mesa County. I asked Ed about what bike he rode, and he strongly recommended the REI bikes. I subsequently bought one, and thanks Ed for the recommendation.
At the first rest stop, I was approached by one of the bike mechanics from Brown’s Cycles.
As it turned out, he has the same bike as I do – a Bianchi, same year, same color.
