Waiting to exhale.......and inhale, and exhale.....

Well it's been two weeks since I had a minor medical procedure done that kept me off the bike.

I've always been a creature of habit or routine, and once I break a cycle (no pun intended) I often never go back. It was that way with soda, I stopped drinking it one day after having a can at least every day for many years. So I was worried two weeks off and I'd feel the same way about cycling.

Thankfully that was not the case. Hopped on the Vitus and managed 7.19 miles in 25:29 with an average speed of 16.9mph. Honestly better than I'd hoped for, and didn't have any pain.

Glad to be back in the saddle again! (cue the Gene Autry)

Retro Gravel Build Part 1

Finally started on my retro gravel bike build, starting with the opaque blue 1973 Schwinn Continental I picked up earlier this year. Too many other things going on so this was on the back burner, like waaaaaay in back.

 

Went with some Panaracer Gravelking SKs in 700x35c size, they look great on an old bike with the tan sidewalls. Test fit went great, on to cleaning up and re-greasing the old bird.
