Thank you, sir! It was a very enjoyable day, marred only by leg cramps while I was downloading my photos.

I rode a 12-mile loop tonight on the newest addition to my little stable. I never thought my first Peugeot would be a Mountain Bike - I was looking for a U08. But this Orient Express showed up, and the long wheelbase with the slack geometry ticked all the boxes for an N+1 acquisition. This Pug will start as my knockaround, lockup bike. If it survives that for a year, it will get a dramatic makeover next winter - something in the "campeur" genre perhaps, or a mini-randonneur...
