We'll have to agree to disagree on your points, but there is one point I think you can't deny - the number of riders on TOSRV has declined steadily for at...
This past May was my first time riding the TOSRV. I've never ridden a century before this ride. I made it to Portsmouth on Saturday, but didn't do the ride...
OK ALL, With the decline in numbers I would LOVE to bring back the group photo and the mass start. True when thy stopped this in 1974 it was to bad. The ...
I second the motion to bring back the group photo. 2003 was my first, and definitely not last, TOSRV. I found the back-to-back century rides to challenging and...
I don't think we'll see a mass start again soon, and I think for good reason. Don't get me wrong - I loved the mass starts of early TOSRV trips. My first trip...

Words of wisdom from ³the Cannibal.² Mr. Rhind is not kidding. There is no magic in cycling 200 miles in two days. One must get on his/her bike and start...
I agree that mass starts are fun and exciting. But I disagree that they are not dangerous. I witnessed at least one multi-bike spill around 1970, maybe more...
