What bike did you ride today?

Cool bike @Ernbar ! Nice complete bike with sweet paint and chrome. šŸ¤©

I took my not so completely original Columbia out for an early ride to Gilbert AZ.

I grabbed an iced coffee at Bergies. Tons of people out biking on the canal and in town this morning.

Then like @Sven I rode around the farmers market (minus the snakes and Amish). Picked up a loaf from the Proof ladies.

Finally was able to go out on my newly purchased 41 Columbia this morning on its maiden voyage.

The plastic water cage is held on the down tube with Velcro strips so nothing gets scratched. It was kind of hot so staying hydrated is a must.

Had to cut the ride short to 8 miles cause of the rain that popped up. So much for the weather app that said no rain for the next 2 hours!
Our small City is in the process of building a Sr. Park which came in very handy in staying dry from the rain.

Man it poured for about 1/2 hour but thanks to the covered area at the park the rain was no problem. Iā€™m very happy to report this pre war bike is a super smooth and comfy rider. I have the seat post set to maximum extension at 3ā€ into the frame but could use another inch or two of additional saddle height.

Go figure, a "Senior bike" at a "Senior park".........šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
 
No ride for me yesterday so today I made sure to clip into the 21st Century Hawthorne Flyer in celebration or our old-school riding leader @dnc1, his 55th b-day, quick recovery and recent long ride. Added 55 more for him celebrating my 64 so-far years. Fortunately I'm also still here and riding when I can.
