That is one spectacular place! Is that Fuji-like volcano Mt. Bachelor?

I, on the other hand, was down at sea level a continent away. Cold Spring Harbor from Laurel Hollow, NY.

This one is yours for only $600. A bargain at half the price!

Wow. I used to get a ride to school in one of those. We regarded it as a death trap.

Cool car, though. I'd love to have one today. Another example of Nash being ahead of its time.

Yeah, It's a few miles East of Mt. Bachelor. Beautiful up there.

Kinda took it easy this weekend. 60 mile ride and not a lot of climbing ... but riding along the Pacific Coast was sublime.

An 86 year old man I met today while out riding.

Note the harmonica in his right hand. He could play.

An old guy havin fun with a friend

Bikes are of similar vintage and size.
The darker blue one is original paint, the one in forground a CyclArt repaint.
We rode a vintage 2 day supported ride (a year ago), hence the jerseys.
You meet the nicest people on BF.
