So inspiring. I just recently inherited / acquired 1974 Raleigh International. The previous owner had ridden a quite a number of miles and states and he took great care of this bike, but he now suffers from a neurological disease and can't ride anymore. He never was able to ride RAGBRAI and I suspect he would have enjoyed it. I think the biggest salute I can give him is to give the bike the love it deserves, ride it on RAGBRAI and do a picture and story show for him. If I can't this year, then dang it 2020 here I come!
