Last Sunday was overcast, misty, damp etc., beginning of a 3-4 day Nor'easter. I planned on biking the 35 miles to my son's house for my grandson's 8th birthday party. My wife tried to talk me out of it saying is was crazy because it was going to rain like heck later. But I had made up my mind so off I went. Turned oout to be a nice ride, cool, damp and only a couple of showers. Actually pleasant after all the heat and humidity.

Thought about using one of the older bikes but went with the Roubaix which I had planned on all along.

Today, I finally got around to cleaning the bike up..........awful mess, grit, sand etc in every crevice. just did a surface clean and lube since I plan on breaking her down for a thorough cleaning this fall. But in retrospect, I should have opted for one of the other steeds.
