Off a day...

Yesterday was Monday...
It was 65 and sunny.
Word went out around lunch that a night ride was going off, as Tuesday (today) was supposed to be crappy. (And it is...)
A little group formed up at the normal time, and went out.
The PowerStation is HEAVY after the rain. Good shape, but heavy under wheels. Well, good shape, except for the fact that the land bridge over the washout has disappeared after last week's rain. One does NOT want to crash into the resulting hole! There may not be an escape.
Out to Eastman, back in on 12th, dove into the woods, and hit the trails.
A quick trip up Gervais, and thru 5 Points, and I was back to Service Course.
2:15 on the bike...in the dark...in 60 degrees. A little Mad Alchemy Russian Tea was more than enough.

I did come to the general conclusion that the CX bike needs some serious TLC once time changes. Chainrings. Chain. BB overhaul. Lots of noise flowing forth lately.

We should all aspire to be this guy...

For no other reason than his first bike was a Molteni Merckx!

From the "Shut up and take my money" file :

59 Nash Rambler restomod. Not a fan of the white walls. Ditch them, and maybe lower it a bit...

And I've been looking for an old truck...

If one has a Nash, one may as well have a Studebaker as well....

That's about it for today...
Places to go...people to see...
