Nice afternoon for a spin around the neighborhood after finally getting the derailleurs dialed in on this ‘63 Varsity Tourist, which I plan on giving to my wife for Valentine’s Day.

Rear wheel for me, the walk instead of road side fix, was about 3 miles.
32 miles total, including walking it; which was at least 3 times harder than pedaling.
