Frustrating day today, no pics. I have a long gravel ride (Susquehanna Unpaved) planned with a friend next month and set up my Ciöcc as one of two bikes to use for it. Wanted to do about 20 miles of gravel in Albemarle County today to test it out, but got flat #1 0.71 miles into the first pitch of gravel, flat #2 3 miles later. Decided the tire gods weren’t with me today, so turned around to head back and got flat #3 on the 15% descent heading back. I couldn’t find the hole to patch, so walked about a mile along the remaining gravel and rode the flat the 3 miles back to the car.
At any rate, weather was nice; I didn’t get rained on, and I had a nice walk in the country.

Glad you got home without any further hiccups.

I used Challenge Strada Bianca 33’s on the PNW ride, but they won’t fit on this bike. I used these GK’s at Eroica this year, no problems but I think I had them at 85 or 90, so I’ll go back to that. Live and learn!

Did the Harmon Hundred today (50th anniversary edition!). Hadn't done a century since 2016. Lots of family stuff the last couple of years.
Nice route in southern Wisconsin with lots of hills in the last 25 miles. Cloudy and cool, but the rain stayed south.
Finished with a rolling time of 5:56/16.8 mph avg. @102 miles.
At the Eagle Lake rest stop. Good fishing there I hear...
Wife snapped a pic right after the finish.

The forecast was calling for a chance of rain all weekend, but I found a brief window to squeeze in a shakedown ride of my newly built 1989 Bianchi Superlemondialeggeragiro on the Fanno Creek Trail.
The Fanno Creek Trail is a pretty good stretch of MUP in the western suburbs of Portland.
A few sections of this were newly opened since the last time I rode it. This bridge covers a section where you used to have to take to the sidewalk of a nearby road for a couple hundred yards.
Some parts of the trail don't drain very well. It didn't take long to decide which way to go at this fork in the trail.
Despite the threat of rain, the weather turned out to be just about perfect for a bike ride.

I like that trail; nice place for a shakedown ride, for sure. How did you like the ride of your newest ride?

46 miles down the Malibu coast from Camarillo. I rode my '64 Legnano Roma Olympiade. My friend Rick showed up on his newly acquired Colnago. Pretty bike. We were just a tick short of a 16 mph average, and I had 3 personal records on Strava. Not bad for a 55 year old bike on a route I do a lot, even on modern carbon. Good times.
Magu Rock re-group.
Pretty Colnago.
My Legnano at Neptune's Net thru a fogged up phone camera lens.
Northbound, new pavement and wider lanes at the dunes.

Too soon to tell much. The headset was loose -- like I forgot to adjust it at all after Gugie fixed a problem with the fork crown race fit -- so I didn't push it much. At this point I can say that the fit is good, the bike is smooth and comfortable, and the 9-speed Daytona shifters I bought on eBay work much better than the seller led me to believe. I think it will be a good bike.

I think I would have trouble getting in many miles on that bike as I would be stopping often just to step back and look at it.
Well done!
I have actually been looking at powdercoat colors of a similar green.
Enjoy.

I didn't take any pictures yesterday. I volunteered to be a marshal on the 30th annual and final NYC Century ride. It goes through Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, and it skips Staten Island. I rode with @wilfried. I ran out of time in the day, as I had to take my daughter to the airport on her way back to Denver. My other kid got married on Friday. (Yay!) I only rode 80 miles on the course and had to head home. I rode to the finish line and picked up my water bottle, t-shirt, and medal. It was another 7 miles home from there.
@wilfried rode 100 miles but not entirely on the course. And he lives to tell the tale.

@Slightspeed, this ride shows the huge variety within the city limits. This ride was not hilly, at least not to me. There are beaches, forests, urban scenes, suburban scenes, and more. Sad that this was the last one they'll run. Maybe someone else will pick it up.
I rode my Lemond with the 650b wheels and 38mm-wide tires. There is 1mm of clearance at the chainstays, and I think the gap is closing due to stretching tires, so I won't have it that way for long. Either I'll move these wheels to my McLean, or I'll have the Lemond's stays dimpled. The wheels greatly enhanced the ride. I had never taken such a long ride on those tires, and I give them credit for leaving me feeling fresh after all those hours. It was my most pain-free long ride ever. If I can't figure out how to keep this bike comfortable, I might sell it. With 700c wheels, I can only fit 27mm tires, and it makes for a harsh ride. Am I getting old yet?
If you'd like to visit, drop me a line. I'll give you a great tour by bike or foot. There is a lot to see, and it's not all what you would expect.

Oh, and I think the Statue of Liberty is a horrible place to visit. Maybe that's because I'm a New Yorker.

No, it seems to be something sprayed directly over the original Celeste. I like it a lot too, but it’s going to be quite a job trying to touch up all the scrapes and chips.

Dude, that's nice!
Let's ride some gravel soon!
Delaware Canal Path to Easton?
Let's ride some gravel soon!
Delaware Canal Path to Easton?
Just got this build toghther and did a 7 mile shake down ride. Hope to tape the bars in the next day or two. What a fun ride!
Build so far:
Legolas Frame/fork built by Mark NobiletteTubes are a mix of Columbus Life and Columbus Zona.
I asked for the same color as the Rivendell Redwood model from days gone by.
Velocity A23 & Dura Ace "hubbed" wheels set 32/28
10 Speed 12-30 Cassette
10 Speed Ultegra, Long Cage RD
CX70 FD
CX70 Cantilever brakes
10 Speed Dura Ace Downtube shifters
Electra Ticino crank 170mm Arms Sun XCD 46/30 rings
Rivendell 110mm Cup & Cone bottom bracket
Brooks B17 Special (Ti)
Miche seat post
Shimano SPD double sided pedals
FSA Headset
100mm Nitto (new Pear)l stem
42mm Nitto Noodles bard
TRP Levers
Velo Orange Cages
Compass 32mm Extra Light tires
The bike with pedals, saddle and water bottle cages weighs 21.8 lbs (Digital hanging scale). The ride is quick, handling is quick and the paint has a fine, metallic finish that looks great in the sun.

Had some time get in a after dinner sunset ride. Rode through the local beach town that shutdown after last weekend. 
I’ve posted about this place before.
Saw these chained up in a parking lot. Old Ross and a c&v air cooled Yamaha
Vintage Ferris wheel.

It was a rare cool and cloudy day in SoCal, but I had a morning dentist appointment, so was only able to work in a quick 15.5 miles up thru Porter Ranch and Chatsworth Park on the '78 Raleigh Super Course.
Chatsworth Park North
The Raleigh at the Munch Box, a local burger landmark. I didnt partake ...honest.
