^^haha. Actually, my intention was not to ride the gravel route but what the heck?! Rode the old Bottecchia w/ 52t chainwheel, 13-18 corn cob FW and 25mm width tubulars. My spare tubular strapped under the saddle fell loose on the rough and dropped the chain a few times. Seriously fun day.
The following day was the real work. Took the 50's gas pipe Higgin's and even though the weight was a handicap, the gearing made up for it. Some 12 to 14% grade made it especially grunt work. Broke the internal geared hub shifter cable end. For the many climbs to go, had no other choice other than to fix it. Figured it out and was good the rest of the way. A real blast to see some 30's wooden rimmed racers and impeccable Cinelli's, Colnago's, etc., etc. getting hammered!
