Well, Free Dump Week Thunder Bay 2009 is now history. I spent most of the week at the landfill site and collected about 60 bicycles for Bicycles for Humanity. I also found a total of fifteen to twenty vintage road bicycles but kept the following; two Bianchis, one Jeuventus, one Raleigh Record Mixte, one Peugeot Sprint, one Peugeot Super Sport, One Peugeot Sport, one Vainqueur, one Velo Sport, one CCM Corsa, one CCM Grand Tourisimo, one CCM Corsa, one Supercycle with full Shimano Adamus AX grouppo, one CCM Elite, one BIM leather saddle, one AGDA leather saddle, two Hurett transmissions, one very cool Mustang style bike with springer forks, two motorcycle style bicycles, and I just can't remember the rest off hand.

Nothing really special showed up except the two Bianchi bicycles - one a 47cm Strada LX in excellent condition and the other I am not sure of the model but it is fitted with a full Shimano 600 Golden Arrow grouppo (my size too!!!).

Anyway, Free Dumping Week was a hoot and our group has finally decided to make it a group event. Thanks goodness, I am tired of talking to seagulls, ravens and bald eagles, all or which frequent the Dump on a daily basis. So too do the black bears and one always has to keep and eye, and a nose, out for those big rodents.
