I checked photo's and the year was 2004 and it was in  park somewhere in the east. We were eating at a pic nic table. You had on the 2000 DALMAC jersey. If it was you,   you had a beard and was riding a recumbent.
Your buddy had on the 1997 Dalmac jersey on. He was from the Lansing, Williamsburg or Langesburg area. I think it was in the Sheridan Bay camp ground in  eastern New York. Actually I think  we ran into you guys twice. At the camp ground after the days ride in the evening and then next morning in the restaurant for breakfast.

Ring a bell yet?

Was not me. But he and I were apparently on same route.

Well sadly my Chris and I did not meet Knoll. One of the guys did mention the log, "Crazy guy on a bike " though.

That would have been cool if you guys had met on the road. 

I got another project bike to fix and try out.  I've never rode this style of bike before.  I'm waiting on brake pads and a new tube before I can test it out.  I think the guy at the bike shop is getting tired of seeing me.

Here is the mountain bike that I got a few days ago.  The parts should be in soon.   I might keep one of them at work to ride on my lunch break and at the end of the day.

We were on a bike trail yesterday evening and I swear I saw PatB flying bye on roller blades and wearing a tie dye shirt.

Looks like a good seat on the road bike. Is that an aluminum frame bike?  Looks like you have a STI shifting mechanism.

Jeb,   The frame is aluminum and the forks are carbon fiber.  It's very light.  I don't know what an STI shifting mechanism is.  It's got little triggers on each brake that shift gears.  I haven't been able to ride it to figure them out yet.

If your shifters are in the break levers then that's STI shifting. The easiest way to figure that out is google it. I know one side shifts the front sprockets and the other side shifts the rear.  I don't have STI on any of my bikes.

Clint, I just googled "STI shifting on a bicycle" and lots of info came up. That's a nice bike with carbon forks and an aluminum frame.

It's definitely a nice bike.  The frame might be a little small for me.  If it's uncomfortable to ride I'll find it a new home and keep looking for something else.
