Yesterday's Campy Machine

Yesterday's bike of choice: our 1980s Benotto, which saw plenty of service last year when we rode a brevet series and Paris-Brest-Paris on this fine piece of Italian-designed machinery. The Rally dérailleur did a great job shifting ... now, if we could only have done something about the 100-degree-plus heat.

More photos from the ride after the break.

 

 

Photo above: This was the first time we tried a pair of Voler's sunblocking arm covers (don't call them arm warmers). They worked--our arms didn't get hot, and they didn't get sunburned. Check them out at www.voler.com. (We purchased the arm covers from Voler.)
