Driving down from Sacramento for the October Velo-Retro/Rose Bowl ride. Sunday I’m riding the mean streets of Pasadena and Monday I’m attending a taping of The Price is Right. Wish me luck. If I win a new car I’ll be able to sell it and buy a garage-full of vintage bikes.

I am going to make it this month if not in China...do I need to suit up or can I wear shorts and a jersey?
Also is there a place to park/hide less than perfect bikes?
Best, Ben

Another great day on the Pasadena Vintage ride. 91° at the finish, but shade along the way and a nice breeze made it a great day to ride. My friend Rick brought his "new" '78 De Rosa, and there was plenty of eye candy along too. Here's a few:
Rick's new De Rosa.
My Raleigh and the De Rosa.

I think I got it figured out.
Thanks mech. Bought the bike, jersey and the Dettos new in '85. The Dettos have the '84 L.A. Olympics logo on the side. I took the aero bar off about a year ago when I rewarapped the bars (the pic is 2 yo). Too much gut now to use them.
I'm still running the Helicomatic rear end it came with. Have had zero problems with it--ever.

Excellent! Hope to see you at the next ride. How is that frame built, internal lugs with steel or aluminum?
will you be riding at Eroica California next year?

My son lives in Pasadena--too bad he doesn't ride. My bro has our (late) father's old early 70's Raleigh. I should try to get him to join in.
C U next month?

The AMF was a recreation of one of the bikes in the final race scene from Breaking Away. He did a great job with it, right down to the red helmet. A few more photos from the ride...

I felt good this morning after riding from Beantown to Rose Bowl. Unfortunately a flat within 200 feet of starting with the group kept me from riding the whole route. I had parked my car at Beantown to head home early.
Just a single shot I got today.
