Scott: wow, from the first photo I'd have never guessed it would've ended up the way it did! Yikes

Alex Moll and I went out on a short, double-Colnago Vet's Ride at noon today. Temps were in the mid-40s, no wind, no clouds and no rain. Short but sweet, with lunch in a classic diner in Arlington (cup o' Joe: 75 cents). Perfect!

I took two bikes: Alex will be keeping my '83 Colnago Mexico on ice for me until such time as I either return to live or return to visit. I rode the '73 Super.

Car loaded up with both bikes:



I'm going to miss that gold machine:

Sure looks like fall to me:



Descending the section I've dubbed the "Fuchsrohre" - lots of others out on the bikes, too:



The barn at the northernmost trailhead is now painted a jaunty shade of red:



The barn - note the historic photos on the side:

A few more to come...
