Santa Fe Century Concours d'Elegance
Is anyone else going to ride a vintage bike in the Santa Fe Century on May 19th? I'll be there with my 1952 Raleigh Superbe Sports Tourist. I'll have it in the
Concours d'Elegance on Saturday night as well, though I think of it more as a utilitarian machine than an elegant one. (I restored it to the point of incredible usefulness, but I didn't go so far as to hammer out the fenders perfectly or replace the decals.) I also have Busch and Muller LED lights hooked up to the AG hub and CR-18 rims. I'll be riding it in the 50 mile event. I took it out for a 62 mile ride last weekend, including 7 miles down a dirt road, so I'm pretty certain I could ride the full century, but I think a 50 mile ride would be more enjoyable.
I look forward to seeing other vintage bikes and meeting any other members of this list.
Here's my bike at the end of the dirt stretch down Waldo Canyon Rd., right before I took a break for a beer and a sandwich in Cerrillos, NM.
