After two and a half days helping my older daughter's family move to a new home I decided to ride the old Raleigh to a nearby grocery store. Legs felt like stone within a couple of miles. Just one of nature's reminders that I'm 60, not 50 and I did stress the legs a few times during the move. My legs did return to normal after about 30 minutes.

Otherwise it was pretty darn good. It's fun to rediscover crossover 2X5 gearing after using modern 8S+ drivetrains and that even with the Raleigh easily ten pounds heavier than my next lightest road bike it can still run at a good pace (no speedo/odo).
