Merry Christmas to all the Classic Antique BicycleEnthusiasts!
I left in the dark while all in the house were still sleeping.
Riding my 1936 Electric.
Wind factor shortened it to 20+ miles.
Enjoy the Ride!
Still playing around with parts for my new build. Should have been working out some of the small items on the punch list for this one. I started to do that, then decided to takea spin on part of the newly built/opened bike path along the St. Vrain River as part of flood recovery from the floods of 2013.
Straightened out the seat that was on my '39 Flying Ace when purchased. Real comfy and works geat with the 7 post to give full leg extension but maybe a bit old and too busy for this bike.
You may be able to see Eagle nests in the trees in the background. This area is a refuge for them. As I got back on my bike after this pic, there was one flying low to my right. Sorry, didn't get a pic...
This part of the path will eventually go all the way out east to I-25 and connect to Firestone, CO. (8 miles) This part is east of Main St. in Longmont and travels past a shopping area in the southeast part of town. Then past farm land, what little is left. A fun way to spend a Christmas Eve afternoon!
A beautiful crisp Christmas morning requires a spin around Old Town on the Roadster.
William Carson felled his first tree in Humboldt in 1850. He hooked up with John Dolbeer who invented the Steam Donkey which opened up logging in more difficult areas. A couple railroads later with John Vance and 15 million board feet of lumber a year allowed him to build this magnificent mansion.
The Bros. Newsom of Oakland City Hall, Alameda Courthouse, the San Dimas Hotel, and the Bradbury Mansion fame were the architects. The clock tower on the train station in Disneyland is copied from the house.
In 1949 in was nearly demolished, but $35,000 was scraped together by a few local businessmen and it became a private men's club. The "good ol' boys" kept the women out until 2010. Hard to believe. It took a lawsuit and sexual harassment claims by the staff to open the club to women.
Merry Christmas! This is an awesome day to ride...streets are void of cars and turns out parking garages are too! My son and I bombed a five story garage today laughing all the way...ha ha ha (as the Carole goes)
Since my Shelby is still decorated from the Parade of Lights, rode to a spot next to St. Vincent's church(1910) on Main St. for a few pics.
And for the Huffy fans among us.....
Then went home and threw some smoked turkey legs on the grill. They weigh over 2 pounds each.
Before
After
They look a bit dark in the pic because it's night. They come out super moist with a strong bacon flavor and the skin is nice and crispy. Delicious and really fill up a plate.
1936 Clipper
Doublebar Roadster by CWC
Original blue paint, Persons Majestic saddle and flat-sided double-drop-center rims.
Over to the parking structure for Sunrise.
A perfect day for a ride along the beach later.
Let me know if you are wanting to ride today.
