Nice ride in, cool but comfortable-used my full finger gloves, skull cap, long sleeve shirt and continue to wear shorts. I had a series of flats last week and switched tires/tubes this weekend to Ritchy Cross Max CX tires, the bike handles like a tank but, should be good through the Winter. Also, found an abandoned bike last Friday, an old Peugeot. It's intact with flat tires, rust, dragging brakes and rotted leather saddle. It was entangled in a bush near the airport and I didn't want to leave it fearing someone else would get it. I checked around and no owner appeared to be around, also, it certainly wasn't ridden there-probably dumped from a car in the parking lot or, maybe, it fell off a car driving on the GW Parkway. So, I (slowly) dragged it beside me as I rode the rest of the way home with one hand on the Peugeot's stem and one on my bars. It took me quiet a while to get home and, hills and intersections were kinda scary-but, I didn't wreck. I will canablise the wheels (high flange 27"), brakes (Mafac Racers), stem, handlebars and, stem. I'll sell everything else and make a few $$$.
