not exactly in a rut - same ride as yesterday, but without the drama....mostly.
All the trail has been cleaned of chert and logs, even the portage spot from yesterday was dry as a bone.
The great part was The first distance ride on my '57 Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix, just completed over the weekend. (ok, more than a bit modified, built from bare frame).
The drama, going down a bluff, had a la-la-land ear-bud jogger make a sweeping U-turn 5 feet in front of me. I was anticipating it, but still, the panic stop on the old Weinmann sidepulls was dramatic.
The bike was a joy, cozy, fast, and great climber.
