What he said. Lovely pics from Japan! It looks like low gears might be useful there!

I'm just crossing the Nith river outside of town... took my drop-bar MTB conversion out for 55km. It was nice for a December day, the sun was peeking out at times but the wind was gusty, up to 50km/h the weather said but it tapered off as the day went on. This shogun prairie breaker frame is pretty sweet for a winter bike...

had a wonderful hookie afternoon.
I volunteer head up Trout in the Classroom for Texas. Today I was delivering a new chiller and filter to an elementary school on the Guadalupe tailwater (southernmost tailwater in the US) - at 3:30...
So I took my bike at noon and rode river road.
The road is really twisty with lots of elevation, crosses the river 4 times (I crossed a 5th time to ride in a neighborhood, as well (access to a great trout spot).
Just aren't too many places to stop, because everything is private, but this was turnaround stop at the 1st Xing.
I take my winter bag to stuff my layers (and haul my banana), but at 50 degrees and 80% humidity, it was pretty penetrating, so I kept my layers on.
After the first few miles, I was plenty warm in my layers.

I'll try to post a detailed thread about the bike someday.
In the mean time it's a 1979 Paramount built up with an unholy combination of vintage and new parts I happened to have available at the time.
Here's a close up I took that same day.

I got no pics to post today but I did manage to ride to work today, first time since before Thanksgiving. Temperature about freezing when I started so I was a little worried about icy glaze on the road surfaces. It wasn't a problem. I did see a flock about about 2 dozen turkeys hanging out in a school playground.

Here's a morning ride pic, it was a frigid 27 degrees. I had to stop and fix a seat malfunction.

Snow capped mountain looks just like the Fuji headbadge.

You didn't read about the big snow event in Hawaii's mountains?
https://weather.com/news/news/hawaii...a-kea-dec-2016
BTW Jim, thanks for the freewheel and the receipts re the Moto. I finally brought the bike to Michigan a week ago.

Sorry to be so long sending that stuff. Took me a long time to feel guilty enough. From the little riding I did I'd say that bike will be a dandy rider. Don't know about restoring it though. OTOH, a good bead blasting could do wonders.
We had though about riding today but decided against it. Temperature was 19F when I got up this morning with 10mph wind gusting above 25mph. It didn't sound pleasant. Didn't feel so great either.

Beautiful day for a spin down the Perkiomen and Schuylkill Trails to Valley Forge.
