Are there any SF Bay Area vintage bike events?
Looking at where forum members are from, it seems as though there are a bazillion bay area C&Vers. Heck, we even have a vintage bike museum in the bay area and some of the best riding roads in the country. Are there any vintage bike rides? I see a few C&V bikes on century rides, but not that many, and I seldom see C&V bikes riding the backroads of Alameda and Marin County. Where are all you guys? Are there some rides I'm missing?

Wow. That is a difficult forum to find. I've clicked up to "bike forums" before, but never gone to the "forums" layer above that, where norcal is buried under "community connections>regional discussions".
Even so, I don't see many rides advertised there and it seems to me that quite a few C&V rides get advertised right here in C&V.

Get an invite to Brett Horton's house. That should keep your vintage jonze in check for a decade.

All you have to do is ask... Post this same question and see where it goes.
