Today's Ride

[The History Man]

Off Piste today. 17 miles and a few gates. Warm and pleasant.

Oh, did I miss you baby... after almost 2 years on my winter bike it feels like I'm flying.



My old GT is finally welded and we're together again. More details h e r e

Today we went for a ride along the canal. Dutch style.

Great view with another GT there, THM.

Re:

Looks like fun paddling they are having-your weather has obviously warmed right up, 26er. Today-Saturday-Nice out, about 80 F.-totally dry in the hills now- We rode up to the West today to this nice bench with a great view...

In no doubt it will pretty quick go back down again just like...

Another longish ride on the GT today. Can't seem to get enough of it...
Caught up with a bunch of racers. One of them riding an Octagon.

Oh, what a day. Started out with Woz blowing his gaskets bc of a broken pump bracket, which he of course had to remove b4 we could even get going. Later got chased by a bunch of cows coming at full speed Pamplona style and finally full stop with a beer can stuck to my front wheel... :facepalm:

A very nice ride indeed!

What's the bike in picture 1 ?

1993 Miyata Pathrunner. Japanese goodness; bonded AL main triangle and lugs, Cro-Mo stays and forks. Not
high-end, it was originally spec'd with 7sp STX-RC which was all knackered when I got it. It's been
re-built from the spare part bin and is long-awaiting a drop-bar conversion.

Close-up it looks a dog, but it's as sound as a pound and manages to carry my fat belly-arse combo around admirably

Re:

Today-Monday-The fog came in overnight and cooled things down here, about 62 F. this morning. But by 11 AM it was sunny in Fairfax, so up 800' to the OG trail into the woods West of town today. I got home from the ride and my old pal Gary Fisher showed up to hang, so I took a pic of him on my deck-always dressed to the nines, that boy...

 

[26er]

That's a damn cool hat there... next time you meet Gary could you ask if that story about the trailer and the anvil is a true one or maybe he got his own version you could post here?

Re:

I haven't heard that one myself, 26er- I'll ask him when he gets back from Spain, where he's flying out to tonight. Today-Tuesday-Still really cool for July around here, maybe 68-70 F. with a cool breeze. we rode up one of our standard climbs to the West about 800' today...

Re:

Today-Thursday-Cool for July, about 74 F. and sunny. Up to the West of town about 900' today...
