Happy 4th

Been getting out to ride a lot as I soak up the Tour de France this month. Doing my best to beat my personal records on established routes and exploring new ones. Life is good, and even better with some extended time in the saddle to be one with your bike and to think about all of the blessings we have. Riding has always meant freedom to me, but I have to recognize that the freedom and safety we enjoy comes at a cost. Thank you to all that have sacrificed so that we maintain this freedom.

Found this beauty (and lots of other sweet vintage racers) to add to my wish list this 4th of July:
