| It wasn't that many years ago that I was towing them behind me on a tandem trail-a-bike, and a Burley trailer before that. Now they're on the edge of having outgrown these 24" wheeled bikes. Full-size adult bikes will be coming soon. |

| Having our lunch near a visitor center in the national park. This might be the only picture of me that has appeared in this blog. |

| Retrogrouchy bike shot. Vintage Stumpjumper, circa 1983 - repainted several years ago in shocking green. |
 |
| A well-loved Carradice Barley saddlebag, covered in Towpath badges. They used to offer a new badge for each year. I don't think they do that anymore. |
 |
| A stop on the wooden boardwalk over a beaver marsh. The RetroKids always like to stop and look for turtles and blue herons. |
 |
| The marsh was formed by beaver activity, but somehow we've never seen the beavers. |
 |
| Ice cream sundaes with big piles of fresh fruit at Szalay's market in the heart of the national park. An indispensable stop on any bike ride in the valley. |
That's all for today - I hope all the fathers out there enjoyed their day as much as I did.
Happy Fathers' Day, Brooks! Looks like it was a very good one!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good-looking machine, that old Stumpjumper. Reminds me of my ride, a vintage GT Timberline, in it's stock forest-green hue.
ReplyDeleteNo, there's a picture of you and somebody from Mercian outside their shop.

Ahh - you're right. And I'm in the group pictures from the Steelhead ride. I usually go out of my way to avoid putting pics of myself in the blog. I guess I should say "a rare picture of myself"
