My new ride: COHO Randonneuse

Today we zipped out to pick up my new COHO Randonneuse built by Chuck Lathe.
It is comfy and looks very cool. I can't wait to sit on it for about 10 hours. That's my plan to do exactly that next weekend riding the Mason-Dixon 200K beginning in Bethesda, MD.

The Randonneuse was built with:

• Brooks saddle
• Nitto bars, stems, seat post
• Paul Racer brakes
• Honjo Fenders
• Berthoud bag,
• (2) E6 lamps yes, two and Chuck says they are bright! I hate not being able to see at night. Especially when medium size animals are thinking about jumping in front of you.
• Schmidt Dynohub from Peter White,
• Synergy rims
• Tires: Grand Bios 700x30
  
• Ultegra rear hub/drive train with 9speed cassette

Thanks Chuck!

The photo shows my Ultegra SPDr pedals but I plan to use SPD pedals soon.

Yesterday's practice:
Z 20min
JM
RIS
Iranian Push ups

I'm starting to feel pretty good and loose. I am a little sore from the RIS esp. in the hip flexors. The trade off is my back didn't bother me today.
