What bike did you ride today?

Great ride today.. I rolled down to Piedmont Park. During the week it's manageable... today the place was jamming.

Seemed like everyone was out... all the beautiful people and plenty of ugly ones too... all out there getting after this gorgeous day. Unfortunately it was too crowded so I hit the neighborhoods for some hill riding and rolled to freedom park... Aha! night and day it was a total ghost town.

Stopped by to see the community garden I designed and installed in the park back in '08.... It's just a stones throw though the park to the Carter Presidential Library. Beds are rented annually and there are community beds for food donated to the Atlanta Food Bank. It was a fun project. Garden looks a little different now...

The plan...

Rolled to the park with the kiddo on the 36 crusty Huffy. I think I figured out what the clanking sound is. The chain I am using has at least 4 seized up links. My solution? WD-40 the heck out of it and go for a long ride ;) if that doesn't work I'll try the old 2 plyers technique. This chain is just as crusty as the bike. They were made for each other.

Another long ride away from the coastal area thick with humans, this time on the yellow Shelby Flyer. Again inland up San Diego Creek to Sand Canyon & my turnaround. Light, variable winds and mild temps made for good riding conditions today.

Long live the big rides...
 
Evening ride on The Winnipesaukee River Trail. Looks like construction on the new park has begun. And unearthed some remnants of an old mill building? Then cruised around downtown for sunset. Great time on my '64 American. Stay safe and have fun.

The bike that started the addiction about 16 years ago... My dad and I built this together when I was 12... it’s been sitting hidden away for over 14 years probably. I’ve had it out a couple times the last few. Few parts were robbed for other things. Put this seat on it tonight and took it for a spin!

Man it rides so good! Such a different feeling and I love the memories it brings back. Started life as a 70’s powder blue Fair Lady...
