Nothing makes an old man happier than blue sky, mild temps and light breezes.

The only thing better than a blue sky day is a bunch of blue ski days together with a bunch of rides.
A Bianchi Day
A Tallerico Day
Boating Day - and it was crowded at the main launch area.
The AD Olympian - you’ll just have to imagine blue sky.

I just don’t have the heart to leave a msg for this business owner who needs a new plan. As I have yet to meet the horse who can shovel pucky and serve themselves dinner.

23 yo Calfee. CF frame still in warranty. Maybe. Nothing is original to the frame - it has been worthy of a couple of major upgrades. This from today on the climb home.

I've heard of toe overlap, but never bottle overlap.
Don't let it slip over a bump; especially at speed.
What? Me worry.

I've got a Peugeot that looks a lot like your bike, but. My ebike has to be main transport to 2 towns and their public transport connections. It works well, so much better than worrying about a zillion car probs. Always more costly and stressful.
This bit of France has more beautiful bike/hike trails than anywhere in Europe I think, so I'm in paradise, with my E-bike, plus 3 others without motors. All a bit rusty and likely to need fixing.
Ebiking base level, is only a little bit of power, for some extra speed or, uphills, via 'pedelec'.

Got more without niggles, so I ride problem free. There is always a queue at my home workshop, repair times vary based on weather and the mechanic's frame of mind. Lately, the weather has been ideal for Spring riding. Vintage, modern + e-roadie all ready to go. Long retired, I use the e-bike for hillier rides and for recovery days when the body needs an e-asy spin - keeps me rolling.
E-Orbea (hub motor) is fun......
.......as are all the oldies.

So how hard can it be to understand?

Funny how my life sometimes emulates my rides. An uphill slog, with many twists and turns - and forget about “getting up to speed”.
of course, then again it is sometimes fast and twisty where I just coast along with no effort.

Just turned 77 today. Only my insurance agent, dentist and one of my stock brokers remembered and sent me a happy birthday e-mail. Celebrated with a Dos Equis Ambar and a quart of Häagen-Dazs. Life is good.

new to the forum
New to the Forum. Glad to find this age group. I have been riding off and on for about 10 years, slowed down due to knee surgeries. Just got a new FX 2 as did the wife and ready to get rolling again.

Bit flogged, in a good way.
When the lawn goes brown = put away the mower and more time+energy for the bikes.
