What bike did you ride today?

[Autocycleplane]

Epic morning. Perfect weather, tons of trail dogs, friendly people with extra water for the whacko on the old-time bike, and over 2500’ of climbing. Hope everyone else had as much fun riding their bikes today as I did.

Still in Redding. Today I met a group of BMX riders that call themselves GenX.

We started at the bridge and rode up the river trail.View attachment 815403
Lovely little bikes!View attachment 815406
Here is as far as we went. About 7 miles up the river to another bridge, then back home on the other side of the river. Nice people.

@TR6SC I love that Redding path. Spent some time there for some work related stuff a few years ago and had a blast ripping around on that thing. Some decent mtn biking options off of it higher up.

That's Cool ! I live 40 mins south of ther and have yet to check it out , I'll have to go soon .

Cycled over to Harwell Feast on the Rochester around Midday to meet up with the Benson VCC where we displayed an eclectic mix of machines.
Around 20 miles all told.
We had a lot of interest from the public, it was a great afternoon, the mornings mist eventually lifting and glorious sunshine for the ride home.
Something for everyone to enjoy, from kids stuff to ordinarys.....

Some of Chris' fantastic collection of "Rover" cycles.....

Dursleys and Durrkopp's etc.....

Two other riders rode a similar distance to the event; Ian on his new acquisition, an unusually framed "Royal Enfield", the double girder model.....

Murray turned up on one of his immaculate early British lightweights, a "The W.E.J. Cycles 'Special' ", Chater-Lea'd to the hilt.....

Great ride home after a pint of cider!

Nice pix, D. That Ordinary is on the early side. Open head and spoke adjusters at the hub. Very nice.

Took the Spitfire out for the first time this season. Noticed the whitewalls turned a little pink over the winter. A good scrubbing and they cleaned right up.

Went out early again for a little ride, only around 5 miles, out of Wallingford to Shillingford where I crossed the River Thames via Shillingford Bridge.....

I then turned onto the Thames Path (a national trail) and headed back to town.
Cycled along via Benson where I re-crossed the river via the Benson Weir and Lock.....

Just the start of a bicycle filled day, off to Harwell Feast this afternoon with the Benson VCC.

Great picture, screen saver worthy.

Took the 1938 Hawthorn out on its maden voyage today.

 

[cyclingday]

Wow! It looks like everybody seized the day, and made the most of it.
I made some adjustments to the 46 Whizzer, and took it for a spin around the block.
Nowhere near as scenic as some of the other rides today, but this thing is a gas to ride, and makes me feel 15 years old every time I fire it up.

So a 54 Monark Rocket, 53 Schwinn, pre-war Pons and teens Pierce go into a pizza joint...

Had a great 10 mile ride with neighbors today along the lagoons at Bay Farm Island. Stopped by to see one of the trees used as an egret rookery. Noisy when you get a tree with 20+ nests of baby egrets begging for food. Temps in the mid 80s for the first time this year, great riding weather.
