Spring Scorcher

The Raleigh Grand Sports had not gotten enough ride time since mounting up the Veloflex Vlaanderen tubulars over the winter. Proved a comfortable ride and the added volume of the 27mm tires was so much better than the dried out 19mm tubulars. Only issue was that my bikes with chrome socks tend to need super tight skewers as they slip more than a painted or raw steel dropouts. I found the wheel cocked and started rubbing after a torquey climb.

Ventured through Amish farmland, passed the Velodrome and finished with a Pulled Pork BBQ Hot Dog from the food truck at Yergey's Brewery. Heat kicked up for the ride home and made for a bit of a slog, but expected.
