I've been trying to get back up to 50-60 miles a week. Did 20 miles today on the Iron Horse Trail that runs from Pleasanton to Martinez east of the San Francisco Bay.
I like the section that runs from Peasant Hill to San Ramon. It runs through wooded areas and wooded suburban neighborhoods with lots of side trails that go up into the hills on both sides including up to Mt. Diablo.
For the past several months my 1967 Peugeot PX-10 has been my main ride. I got it back in 2007 as an all original barn bike with an extra set of clinchers. I hadn't been on it for 10 years and was getting ready to sell it. Now that I've put some miles on it again I may hang on to it.
Never got around to doing a complete overhaul and cleanup but every time I have it out, I do a little more work on it.
Recently I switched from the 27" wheels (pictured) that came with the bike to 700c wheels running 25mm tires. I also replaced the Simplex Prestige front derailleur with a NOS one, polished the Stronglight 93 cranks plus replaced the Mafac brake pads.
