Nice pic. It looks like something from a Stephen King movie.

I got out on the Motobecane after work today. The weather was too nice not to. Quick run across Watertown and back. Sunset made me turn around early. Drivers behind me had the sun in their faces so I worried.

The Motobecane turns out to be a 40y.o. speed demon. Not surprising, considering that Luis Ocana won the TDF on one much like it in '73. I had to be careful though. Didn't want to hit a pothole too hard with those Vittoria sew-up tires. 140psi make them hard enough, but they do track nicely. No pic today. It was too dark for decent pics when I got home.
