Beautiful Autumn day for a ride on the 51 Panther. I rode to the bay and then returned through some of Melbourne’s oldest inner city suburbs.

Melbourne’s favourite Neon sign, Skipping Girl Vinegar.

Site of the Former Yorkshire Brewery, now apartments

Former site of Foy & Gibson Mills and factories, almost 2 entire city blocks. Now apartments, commercial offices and warehouses.

Fitzroy Town Hall

1936 Coral Colson.

Surf is good this morning!

Other riders out today, Jeff, and Pete @SKPC stopped to say hello.

My dad and I took out a couple of old Roadmasters--me on the '37 and him on the '38 along the Augusta (GA) canal. V/r Shawn

Took this on a 12 mile ride today. I believe to be a 1964 Murray built JC Higgins.

1st ride on the just built 37 Westfield frame with added @Krakatoa fork & headset hardware, cut-down-to-fit truss rods, some recently laced up period wheels, old Brooks saddle and Shelby head badge. Pretty basic bike, but runs tight and quiet. It has the latest cool slack head and steep seat tube angles. Fun ride in grey weather out to the water and north/south for a few hours. Really scoots along standing up on this single speed!

14 miles on a Milsco pogo

I rode something a little more modern for me today.
An aluminium Trek with a carbon fibre fork!
20 miles; quite a harsh ride compared to some of my old steel frames, but then again, super, super
light in comparison.

...but when you are given it for free you cannot complain too much.

Hard to imagine you on that one.

I've been getting my rides, but they're repetitive, good metabolism rides and, even though I bring the camera, haven't taken photos.
Great news today, Tad and Mary Beth came out on the Sunday ride.
We've had a month of oppressive summer heat already, a major front blew through last night, and cooled us off to a comparatively brisk 62-degrees this morning. Only the core group came out because of the risk of rain, but early this morning, radar showed it was skirting north and south, giving us a great ride window.
Early on, the wind was swirling from every direction before settling into a NW blow.
I'll admit I felt like an old man on the final climb into Alamo Heights against a 20-kt headwind. It was the kind of wind that catches and steers your front wheel.
Of course I was on my International, and we didn't have a coffee group, so I recycled a good photo at the Alamodome.
