busy day yesterday, with 12 of my 20 schools releasing into the Guadalupe tailwater the baby trout they raised from eggs since January
- 11 of these schools drove 4 hours from Houston
- here at mile 5, the water stays 55 degrees through the hottest summer
- these 12 classrooms raised 1380 baby rainbows
Banner week all around, but it's really been a banner bike week.
Got in 130 mi this week, solved an RD failure on the International with a $60 NOS fix instead of $225.
Seems like this would be a high point today, Tad introducing his new very old Mussolini-era Umberto Dei Condorino
...this is going to be a long post, because I got some good photos...
Ed rode Tad's new favorite Follis in the Alamodome sprint, then they swapped after coffee
(note the low-trail fork - that's what makes this bike ride so nice)
We were styling for coffee at Pearl
Condorino !!!
Leaving Alamo Heights, look what followed me home - a Santana tandem project
But the real highlight of the day was a spirited greenway ride with The Champ
on her '86 Team Fuji that she built for a summer project 3 years ago
One of the trail stewards chased us for 8 miles. When we stopped together at a street crossing, she exclaimed we gave her the best bike workout she can ever remember. Then we scraped her off.
