What bike did you ride today?

Great posts all. Big day on the 37ish"T" serial number >>>Shelby Flyer > Carried me well. Windless again. Perfecto! Out to the coast, down Hwy1 where I picked up Steve who just happened to be going the same way. Great "kid" with a good head on his shoulders far beyond his 33 years. I imparted a bit more knowledge while riding with him. Newport back bay then up San Diego Creek to the turnaround at Laguna Canyon Road, then back in reverse to the Balboa Island Ferry across the bay, then up and down the cali coast for just under 70mi. Trouble-free except for the rear axle nuts loosening early in the ride before they finally stayed put. Long live long rides.

I rode the 1937 Syracuse with Veterans' Flags Flying.
Down to the beach, up to Orange, Circle City Ride, then back to the beach for "wind training":p

I stopped at the rest stop for a drink, and noticed my "Davy Crocket" hat, that hides my spare tube wasn't on my rack.
I went back to the bridge I crossed, and found it there.:D

@Mr. Monkeyarms Glad to see your new friends respecting the Arch Frame. Looks like you were in good company. @SKPC @tripple3 You guys put in some long miles lately. Great riding!

Explored some new territory tonight. Tried to link a couple of canals together and chose a 1/2 mile of railroad tracks for part of it. Looked possible on the satellite map. :p I hit the trax after dark and it was nothing but sketchy stuff in the glow of my headlight. I made it through almost the entire 1/2 mile without getting off the saddle but had to go over/through tons of weeds, metal, and rocks. The last 200 ft before hitting the canal the grade got really steep between the trax and a wall and it wasn’t possible to muscle thru it. I had to hop off and walk the bike on the trax. It felt a lot better being back on the paved canal path and the inner tubes seem fine even now. I won’t be taking that route again.:)

rode this with Tacoma's Skidkings yesterday, and took it out today for a "Salute to Veterans" ride today. It's a put together frankenbike and most of the parts are not correct. But it's fun to ride and people seem to like it. Thank You to all of you veterans for your service, and to all that served overseas, "Welcome Home!"

It low 60's here today, almost 10 degrees more than predicted. Did the Columbia rail trail in north central western New Jersey, or thereabouts. Beautiful day, nice scenery. Did close to thirty miles before the battery died. The last five miles were totally pedal powered, oh the horror of it all!!! I survived, the weather is taking a downturn here for a while, nice while it lasted.
