Bike ride Part Trois

No 'fotos of the actual ride, as my 'fone was charging and I wanted peace.

I went on a ride with dear 'ole dad on Tuesday. He took his Giant comfort bike, and I took my '64 Firestone 500. My FIrestone is definitely due for a tune up. Needs both hubs adjusted and possibly a new chain. We rode from the Tipp City park to WACO airfield in Troy, back through downtown Tipp and rested in front of the library and an antique shop. He needed the exercise, a severe allergy infection took it's toll on me and especially him for the last several weeks. It felt good to open the lungs up and clean 'em out!

On the way home the posters for one of my favourite days have gone up. Town centre closed to cars for the whole day, criterium racing, penny farthing racing, national junior road races finishing in the town square, and much more besides. I volunteer as a steward for the sportive rides. Shame you all can't make it though......
