I could hear them being quite excited over it, so it must have been a good catch!
That Colnago reminds me of the team bike Milram used 2005 - 2010, maybe?

Country rollertown roads ramble with my pal John. This '87 human was having such a blast riding the '87 Bridgestone that I bet by the time the ride was over John was sick 'n tired of seeing me pat the top tube and say, 'Man, I am having such a great time riding this bike today.'
After riding past Locke's Store at least 50 times, maybe a hundred times, I finally stopped in. Glad I did, it's a gastronomic wonderland full of great food, coffee, and people (for the cannibals). Will be back for lunch one day very soon --man, what a gem!
PS: I had such a great time riding the Bridgestone today.
And no, I have no relation to the store, although I wish I did because The Locke Store is a *wonderful* place, full of the aforementioned good people and snacks. But hey, I've got a bike shop, I can't complain...usually.

Been riding slower and social-er lately and really enjoying it.

Looks like that B'stone is a 550? I had a 500 as my first "true " road bike. Two-tone gray, Suntour Cyclone II DT shifters/derailleurs/brakes, and 27" wheels. 52/42 chain rings IIRC & 14-26 or 14-28 freewheel (no cassette).
Hands down the most comfortable riding bike I owned; perfect for longer tours. Some days I really wish I hadn't let it go...

Awesome picts. I googled the location of the store and it looks like it's near Mt. Weather. Great area!

Michael, great post as usual. Thanks for all of those!

My wife and I used to do a metric century on every weekend with good weather from spring to fall and every one of our routes had Locke store as a midpoint rest stop. That was well before I turned 72, her 67, and we had the memorable and intimate relationship with COVID. I never took a pic of the store, but here are a few from our past near there:

My wife's Serotta and my Lobster parked in front of the building next to Locke store and across from the mill:


Break time on the front porch of Locke store:


Super hilly Redgate road on the way to Millwood:


Longbranch Plantation so close to Locke store:


You know this one: White Post:


I am not sure where you are in that pic, but definitely on a back road, headed for Valley Pike, south of Winchester. Give me another hint and I will give it another try.

Thanks for all your great posts Michael.

Dave

Hmm, that one in particular is top-ranking but one morning I saw a series of different toys climbing sepulveda southbound so I was almost nonplussed.

I always enjoy both of your pictures from the area.

Southwest of there is the old family homestead. Now ran as the Shenadoah Germanic Heritage Museum in Mt Olive. I'm 10/11 generations down from George Hottel, the original owner of the place.

Was out cruising on the Guv'nor yesterday. Just and easy ride to Huntsville where I chilled for awhile by the lake and then back home. Had some issues with my biking P&S so had to break out my old cellphone for the pictures.

Michael, I blew the photo up and I think it's over by Belle Grove. Correct?
