So the event has come and gone. @
gugie, @
nlerner, another gentleman (named Bob) and I did two days of riding, about 80 miles each day, before riding to The Event yesterday. Pretty much everything went perfectly, and it was a good time. @
greg3rd48 and @
Sir_Name arrived separately, also by bike.
Some fascinating bikes. Some lovely old ones, some lovely new ones, and a lot of bikes that did not ready stand out in any way but that stand up to closer scrutiny.
One bike that did not catch my eye was already loaded back onto the bed of an ancient Chevy pickup before someone told it's owner to have me look at its saddle. So I lifted this sad looking rust bucket out of the truck and soon realized it was a nearly complete Alvin Drysdale road bike from the late 40's. Sadly deteriorated, but an amazing relic.
