Hi Dick,
You have a nice place to ride, sans the beer bottles of course. Beautiful area. Not riding much of late, not fit for man nor beast out there lately, but I usually ride old steel bikes from the early 70's, and have one Italian one from the early 60's. Just waiting for the Arctic conditions to ease up a bit.
