I went out on my 50 year old, steel, Nuovo Record-equipped, ten speed (2X5) bike today.

It was a relaxing, glorious ride. It was the 20 mph head wind that kept my speed down while north bound, - not the bike, not the gearing, not the groupo. It was gloriously windy, a fresh breeze. I was glad of it.

The breeze, the ride, the sunshine, it all made me happy to be alive and well and still riding my bike.
