Welcome to the 50+ forum, Whitey. We have had an extended riding season up here, too. I'm not doing many miles but have been able to catch a ride when the temps are near 50. Yesterday was a 5 mile zip around the south end of town with decent hills. Of course, when riding this old Colnago no hill is easy. Gearing on that thing is not hill friendly but will pack a decent workout on in short amounts of time.

This is the freewheel....
