Hello RatRod Community,
I got into custom bikes a couple of years ago when a friend of a friend asked me to build them a couple of e bike prototypes for a new business. A year later the guy gave up, I ended up with a couple of e bike prototypes and became hooked on antique and custom bikes. Now, I am going old school and fully restoring a couple of 1920s Shelby Motorbikes, building a fake (tribute lol) Indian e bike and always throwing together a Frankenbike with spare parts. I ride about 400-500 miles a month, with about 100 on retromods and the rest on my mountain bike. Hey, I am from Colorado..... which, incidentally, is also why I add gears and motors to heavy old bikes. I am looking forward to becoming an active member of the community and always happy to share what little knowledge I have. --Ralph

We stop at a convenience store just before arriving at Washington Park for snacks, drinks etc. Everyone generally brings what they will need for the day. People peel off to do their own thing. We usually get back to Fishback Park about 2:00pm or later. I usually stay as long as possible. If we stop to eat we finish around 4:00ish. 15-20 miles may be a stretch. Typically around 10-15 miles. If just going to the Park & back on the Cherry Creek path is about 9 miles round trip. We have been riding the streets versus the bike path lately to see more stuff & avoid crowded paths. It's a lot of fun & a great way to see things you never knew were there!
