37 miles through the Somis foothills, south of Ventura, CA. I am pretty well finished with the '78 Super Course that I found as a $20 CL frame, fork and few other bits, back in February. It's a great ride. I finally put new faux leather bar tape on. I like the feel, and it matches the saddle pretty well. I had a chain drop, first time on this bike. I was pointed uphill, no forward speed, so I had to jump off and put the chain back on, without getting my new bar tape all greasy. The paint is patina passable, but I'm debating new decals and clear coat. It photographs pretty well from 10 ft away. Anyway, great ride with my club mates on mostly carbon. Good times!
