First GOOD ride of the season

Think we'll have to call it, the First Annual Minneapolis Spring Shop Tour.
Stan and I got out a pair of 16-year-old Bridgestones and did a pretty good hot lap around a chunk of Mpls. Hittin' up some good shops on the way – ooggling shinny parts and bikes. The old school bikes drew some looks too from the shops. First up was O-o-O, then The Hub, then Freewheel were I found this gem, which fits in a reg. water bottle cage. Finally finishing it all off with some caffine at CRC. Check this sweet catalog Hurl had on hand. I'm getting one of those.
Let the good times roll. Despite 16 inches of fresh snow this week, we did alright running 1.5 slicks on the roads and fenders. We both managed to keep the rubber side down the whole way, only to almost eat it courtesy of a damn SUV one block from home and a icy side street.
