I cannot say enough good about this ride yesterday. Fantastic weather, fantastic host and his graceous wife tolerating a group of gearheads. A plethera of bikes that would make people who could not attend drool and finally a group of people that I would ride with any day.
Also you have not lived till you see Steve and Curtis make high speed turns on their trikes. It was worth the trip to see the trike joust and be close enough to hear spokes shearing that sounded like 22 caliber shots ringing out.
I want to do it again today but alas I must settle back into the dull day at work and ride solo till then. Here is a little of what you missed...
Of course the trikes, I tried to ride Steves and let me tell you it is a hoot. Counter intuitive all the way.
Roy and his single speed keeping up with all the gearheads on all surfaces
A collection of bikes that looked like you just jumped back into a time machine and all you had to do is ask and you could try them out.
Watching John do track stands at red lights
Seeing Tom and his wife blow by me on the Assamacher tandem when I was trying so hard to keep up.
Me attempting to ride a strange hi wheeler that kept kicking me off.
All the discussion about classic bikes and sharing of information.
Good food and beer provided by the host after the ride.
I want more, need a fix, I'm addicted. Even my Brooks Swallow was kind to me on this ride. Can't wait till the next one.
Did I hear someone say there is going to be a Classic ride at T-town this year?
