Rode my usual 30 mile loop today with one significant climb. Adding a little structure to my riding this week and removing the LSD. Also, without my citified commute, all my rides are close to home and on Vittoria Tubulars. After today's ride, I checked off another item on the Honey Do list--A plumbing job that required but a single trip to Ace👍👍

Following up on post #26 in this thread, the sun was out again yesterday and I felt obliged to take advantage with a 51 mile ride. Pic below taken at my fav coffee spot with a different bike, '86 Tommasini Racing. The blue tubular rims, built up this past winter, saw their first miles today.

I am riding everyday and working on my bikes. I have a brand new frame/fork, groupset, wheels, etc. to start building. I am in a state of indecision on a bike that I have torn down to bare frame and fork. It is going to stay that way until I decide for sure to do with it.

Took my RIH camp out for a run to the mill
Sun came out and took my 1983 Rih out for a run to the Cedar Mill and picked up some cedar cuts. Nice heavy loaded pannier bags was a slice to ride with. The extra 50 pounds gives the bike a great momentum forward on the flats. Love that Vitus bike posted here. It was also 1983 when I rep for Vitus Tubing in the UK for 2 years.

Good thing is now that the gremlins know the replacements are coming, their fun is over, They'll leave the solder somewhere obscure that you will eventual trip over.

I’m riding every day at least 2-3 hrs. No teaching, or spinning, for me for awhile so focused on getting out and about, away from Twitter/news, and clearing head. All bikes get ridden but my 2001 Rivendell gets grabbed the most. Perfect weather/traffic in Seattle despite the madness.

I’m out on the Cannondale Criterium Series when it’s sunny 40’s but when a cold air mass moves in I wear heavier clothes and ride Hummer. In this pic it looks like a sunny spring day but the temps were in the 20’s with a frigid wind.

I got in 10 miles yesterday on what is usually empty roads. Yet after seeing only one or two riders a month within ten miles of home for the last five years I am now seeing a couple every day. And all of them over 60??

I started customizing another bike. The mock up is done and the height is low enough. Now to tear it apart for a paint job, add a few things and get my nephew to ride it around on Cinco de Mayo. Then start on a low rider for me., except in a larger size. The mock up is done on it.

Yesterday I cleaned up my Peugeot some after riding it through most of the winter. Grungy for sure. Finally flipped around my backwards bottom bracket, took the fenders off.

Saturday I had a great 15 mile local ride on my '73 Super Course. After what seems like weeks of rain, the wildflowers are starting to pop. This afternoon I swapped out the Eroica ready Campy quills and toe clips to my normal SPDs on my '64 Legnano. If there's no Eroica, why deal with toe clips?
Legnano, ready for Eroica.
No Eroica? Back to the SPDs for everyday riding.

That looks great. I did a little experimenting on a old set of rusty clips and the only issue I am having is cutting the slot. I have a air die grinder that might do the trick.

I bought an “oldish”, early ‘90’s bike (a recumbent.....please don’t make me leave). It’s got full SunTour with SunTour “grip shifter” & brake lever combos. Research says these babies came out in 1993 as part of a mountain group.

I bought a new modern mini velo road bike to ride around on. Everyday I churn miles out on my road soup grunged Schwinn Madison delivering stuff.

I've been watching a lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm lately, and am trying to tap into my inner Larry David. Sorry.
