Hey julbee,
My favorite bike for a long time was also a Schwinn Continental...also early 70's vintage... mine was the metallic red. It was actually my brother's, but once he got his driver's license, I sort of claimed it for mine. I put a ton of miles on that thing and never remember any problems with it that I couldn't fix myself. I still get a big smile on my face when I see on of those out on the road.
I'm also a hot air balloon lover. My mom, sister, and I go to a few rallys each year. We've crewed and ridden a few times. Being up there floating around is definitely the most beautiful and peaceful feeling.

Welcome to the board Julie: I crew for 2 hot air balloon pilots here in the heart of Hot Air Balloon country - Albuquerque, NM. I've been crewing for 6 yrs now and I STILL get a thrill getting them in the air. I always end up on throat so I get to watch the balloon inflate from the inside out. Just takes my breath away!
Welcome to the board Marina: my very first 10 spd was my dads old Raleigh and darn it I wish I knew which move I lost that baby in. What I wouldn't give to have the old bike back - we went Everywhere together!
Hoping to hear more from both of you!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
