Sunday Ride-May 27 2010
August
31st 2010
Hi "Guys"
As noted in earlier emails, this Sunday (Sept 5) is a golden
opportunity to
ride that old bike from whatever, however, and wherever. If it has any
remotely
nostalgic associations (and is in good riding condition of
course)
............ then treat it to some TLC and ride it once again.
Carol has
her old "University days" bike which I am hoping she will ride again,
and I have a very highly chromed Supercycle (yup ......... Supercycle)
which I
plan on riding. Our route is 70km as per the link below however,
the emphasis
will be on fun vs speed. The older 10/12 speed bikes tended to have a
narrower
riding position and as such will not be as comfortable as the wider
position on
modern road bikes and, in my particular case, the Supercycle is just a
little
undersize for me. All in all, it will be a ride with ongoing
stretching................ and enjoying the scenery as we sedately
navigate
some of Ontario's country roads.

Hopefully we will get quite a few "old style
bikes" out. I can hardly
wait to hear a small group of 10/12 speeds working the gears at the
same time!
Ah.................. Memories!
:)
See you Sunday.
Colin.
