It's stately and graceful but yes--when it gets going it just GOES, even up hills when I expect to be really straining...<br /><br />Have you made any progress on the older Tourist? Can't wait til you have that up and running...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544085626784199782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-19812186306686200202011-05-15T04:53:15.329-04:002011-05-15T04:53:15.329-04:00It is a serious haul up Belmont Hill!

On the other hand, it's a very nice walk, especially since there is a nice shortcut through the woods, to Kenmore Rd.<br /><br />Depending on where on the hill you're going it sometimes makes sense to take Brighton St and Scott Rd instead, if you're coming from the east.<br /><br />BTW, a few posts ago, you wrote:<br /><br />"Good thing I've got Minerva mostly up and running -or more importantly stopping, or at least stopping better than before. But that's another post!"<br /><br />Ahem, when do we get to hear about that? :)AMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-69084212786354169052011-05-11T09:00:34.589-04:002011-05-11T09:00:34.589-04:00It was good running into you last night!
