Did Grant Petersen ever ride a Pedersen?
Speaking of Mt Diablo, I broke my Pedersen's chain on that final steep pitch to the summit as I tried to get in under one hour. I then ran to the finish almost as fast as I could ride it.
I've only ridden past Rivendell on the weekend when the place was closed, but did meet Grant briefly at Interbike, up front amongst Phil, Stein, Kool-Stop and a select few others among our favorite distinguished suppliers.
