Big event. Fun ride.

@Miq are you going to get in on that Ironman with the New World?

I don't want to shame anyone like that. There were some worried looks when I rolled up on my 36 lb lightweight. "Secret weapon" I heard whispered a few times...

Some likened it to the 6 million dollar man. It's from the 1940's but it's been rebuilt. Bigger, faster, stronger...

I took the kids for a spin around the block a few times.

Had to pick up something across town. Took the hybrid. Shortcut through the woods on the return trip. It was a little white knuckle on a rocky, leaf covered descent, but the IRC grip glides surprised me.

Did the 40+ mile OC Beach ride; morning Light on a new favorite Curvey Cruiser 1938 Oriole, Murray built.
Amazing response to "seat post steering"; rebuilt new wheels, tires, and chain.
Super comfortable "McCaskey Bars", and Elgin stamped restored @rustjunkie saddle, just to point out the high-lights.
I literally fell in love....

This is where I fell; hit the wall at the planter overcompensating for a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk.
I got up, banged my wheel backwards on the light pole, until it looked better and turned normally, and rode home, less than 2 miles.
Super-fortunate, totally blessed.
The bike can be fixed to good-as-new.

Love that frame....... I would love to get my hands on a Murray built Oriole like that. One of my favorites!

Wow. Never heard of someone fixing a bent fork on a light post. Glad you were ok.
