My Fading Youth

This summer I asked my friend Nik to take some shots of me on my bike while I was still young and vibrant in the declining years of my 20's. I think the pictures turned out great (at least the ones where I don't look like a big fatso...). They'll be something to harp back to when I get old..."I used to have good calves...Honest!". The pics were taken at Rattlesnake Point near Milton, one of the only places you'll find actual switchbacks in Southern Ontario. The pictures also showcase my new ride, a De Rosa Neo Primato. Handmade in Italy, the frame is a classic steel beauty standing out in a world ever obsessed with aero profiles and carbon layups.
