I weighed the Pug at the shop and it was 35 pounds... my other winter bike weighs 42 pounds as the studded tyres and IGH add a lot more weight and the Pug won't need studs for winter riding.

Tonight my friend stopped by with her vintage Mercier road bike and we went for a nice 30km ride through the river valley... she wanted to go hard and fast so there was not much talking and chatting until I dropped her off at home before coming back across the city.

I love riding on Sunday nights... you have things to yourself on the road and it was nice to get the Proctor down into the valley to shake down the new drive train.
