First road bike ride in a looooong time.
First road bike ride in forever. I had forgotten how much fun it was. I am really amped right now...
The old girl I bought and refurbished in January is riding very nicely. It has a minor chain rub during heavy effort -and I'll correct they - but it's a great ride!
Screen grab from the GoPro. It just looks cold. It's 56F (13C)
Beater bike next to the beater car. Very contented with this!

Good on you Spud! Every time I take one of the road bikes out (almost daily) I still feel that thrill and the endorphin high when I get home. It's great!

That is neither a beater bike nor beater car. Modern Classics I’d say. Spring is a kick. We don’t have it here but I grew up with it and remember my sore buttocks sitting at school on the Monday after the roads cleared.

Cool bike, I'm not familiar with with the marque, what's the story?
