Andy, Wonderful story. The photographs really bring it to life. You've posted about your adventures on the Ram many times; it's always a pleasure to see and hear about the enduring relationship between someone and their bicycle. A lot of that going around in this forum.
Wishing you and your Ram many more years of rewarding rides.
