My dad died suddenly two months ago and this pic caused a flooding of memories of his old route to work, reminiscent of this place here. I had completely forgotten about it. This random photo provided some long-overdue emotional release. Not a great way to get ready for work at 4am, but very much needed.
Sorry for your loss. Been there. It will hurt less over time. Talking to people helps.
Where is that?
Looks like anywhere in Finland.
Correct.
Heck Yeah!
Heck yeah
Heck yeah!
I bought a new frame a few weeks ago to build a road/gravel touring bike upon. I normally ride a CAAD12, which is great for good roads, but not so great when the going gets rough, and it doesn't have fittings for racks (which isn't surprising, it's a race-oriented bike).
On a recent (car) trip to the western US, I encountered many roads that weren't paved and would have been happier with larger tires on my bike, plus I want to do some trails. A local frame company had their steel touring frames on sale, so I grabbed one.
Now I have a million decisions to make on how to build it...lol.
