Bicycle photo of the day
The project bike willfully breaks the state park rule about no icky bicycles close to the South Falls Lodge at Silver Falls State Park.
(I went out and rode One Big Hill again today, this time with my friend Lynnef – this was more of a social ride, so it took a bit longer than my usual breakneck pace – and managed to do the whole thing in the big ring, even on this not-built-up-for-randonneuring bicycle. Though “not built for randonneuring” is a bit of a joke for me, since all of my bicycles have been taken out on brevets, and all of my bicycles have been used as errand bikes. The extent of the preparations I did to set up the project bike for randonneuring was to, um, load it with a couple of water bottles.)
