Ron A's Mercian
20 January 2012
The first thing I said was, "I need to get pictures. Jim needs to see this." He was home with a fever. It was the least I could do.
I didn't expect anyone to show up for the ride yesterday. Most of my regulars had called in sick or otherwise occupied. I hadn't even thought of a route. I figured I'd be riding by myself.
To see four people getting ready in the parking lot was a surprise. To find that one of them had built a new bike from a steel frame was an even better one. There aren't many of us still riding steel.
Riding with me were two Rons, a Mike, a Pete, and, from the edge of Pennington to the other side of the Sourlands, a Bob.
Despite the weight of the bike, Ron A still kicked our asses up every hill. I don't figure I'll be seeing much of him when the warm weather rolls around.
I'll leave the rest of the lug-drooling to Jim, who got his post up on the web the minute his fever broke. Should you notice the similarity of post titles, and the fact that his went up first, he got the title from me, not the other way 'round.
Enough of that. You came here to see pictures of cows on Wertsville Road, east of Van Lieus.
A Dalmatian cow?

Ah, compression shifters. I've got those on my old steel bike, too.
Glad to hear you snared some takers for your January ride. Looks like you are going to collect a bunch of Ride Leader Sheets this year. I've only got three for 2013 so far. -Jeff
