Randy- great idea, except my vintage bike is being ridden every day by a friend in Suffield. It is a 1975 vintage Marello, with full Campy set up. Came with sew-up rims/tires, which I replaced with clincher rims. Myself!

As for the "regular" ride, I do think it will be shorter, and slower (at least with my group) than last time. I was "reminded" that this is a C ride, and I respect that and will keep it in the 14-15 mph range. Those who want to go at a faster clip are welcome to go ahead. Lights are not a bad idea!
