Friend took some snaps when we were in the farming area. The building on the hill is part of the Reagan library. An Air Force One is up there, part of it anyway.

I had the brakes on the ritchey dialed in for the super teams. Put the mavics on didn’t change anything but the pads. Today I put the superteams back on and they were all out of wack. Had to open the clamp all the way up on both the front and rear break in order to get the wheels to spin freely. This was after I had the barrel adjusted all the way in. Strange.

YouTube find of the day.
I hadn't seen this . . . until now. It's OK. I'm sure it seemed much cooler in the '80s.
