got up early Saturday to get some miles on it and take some pictures before the temperature and humidity went up, first a family portrait with my other 2 build off bikes

then rode it around town for a couple hours looking for good backdrops, found a small bridge but the sun was kinda too much

at the end of the bike path is the old railroad station

my LBS is on the bike path, couldn't resist stopping to look at this thing

but sadly it's not for sale, they use it for running errands so off to the old lumber yard

the paved bike path ends in town but the old railroad bed goes on, I like to get a few off road test miles to check for rattles and creaks and stuff like that, found this old stone wall in the woods...
