Weekend adventuring - is it Spring yet?

Ride, ski, hike, snowshoe, curling, bobsled reports - Post em up!

coffee run today, but i took the long way around.

i concur that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you think a road bike needs better braking than old school campy calipers on nemesis rims, your opinion is wrong

took this absolutely perfect machine down some twisty descents this morning, and man, it really hugs a line. havent ridden this one in a while, and man, the braking with this set-up is just so damned good.

great weekend to be alive!

Oh yeah with the Molteni redux, the more alloy the better!

Sunny and mid 50's today but only had time to take my newly built Eroica bike ('84 Basso Gap) out for a 10 mile shakedown. Still got 1000 feet of climbing in though. Tomorrow will be a longer ride.

Well we seem to be the only ones with sunshine adventures. Got out for 30 miles today on the Cinelli with 8 speed Record. Plenty of short fast descents to go around.

When I read this at first (before seeing the pics), I thought you referring to the old Campy Delta brakes

After three months straight of riding fatty (32mm, 38mm, 2.35) tires I thought I’d grab the “skinny” tire bike......felt like a rocket ship
