We have had excellent weather here in NE Oklahoma this month. I planned to ride for coffee this morning but I went to my wife's office for coffee and donuts instead. However I found time to take this Raleigh out for 20 miles before I took lunch to her. Our MUP has a short but tough hill that I wasn't sure this old man could climb with the gears on this bike. But I made it without getting out of the saddle which surprised me. I also have not felt comfortable riding without hands for many years, but I tried it today for a short span and was able to do it until I realized I didn't want to damage this nearly 38 year old bike or my 57 year old body.
