Number two son and I are doing the Old Mission Peninsula tomorrow. It is a great ride in the area.
Last week we rode from where he lives on campus in Traverse City up to Petoskey. It was the first ride of any length he had done. He was going to take his old Schwinn that I rebuilt for him. It had worn bearings in the fork and so I told him to take my road bike. Guess what -- I don't have a road bike any more! Since I've ordered the A. Homer, I don't need it.
