Finally got SS/Fixie ready to ride. A beautiful warm afternoon. I wanted to stay within walking distance until the bugs are shaken out. Bike worked well. Gearing is bigger than I prefer (46/16) but it is probably good for me.
During the afternoon ride I noticed a sign at the clubhouse advertising an "Ice Cream Social" so I went over afterward and got 2 scoops of chocolate with chocolate syrup and chocolate sprinkles. It was delicious and worth the calories! I slept from about 4:00 to 5:30 then went out for an evening jaunt. It was cool when I started and after the first lap I stopped and got a coat and hat. The ride was pleasant and the bike worked well except for the brake which squeals like a stuck pig because the right side pad will not line up properly with the brake surface on the rim because the caliper spring is too long and blocks the adjustment slot. I will probably give up and order a cheap set of "Single Speed" brakes this evening unless I can figure out how to bend the spring enough to get it out of the way.
The end of the spring is under the washer instead of in the slot visible above the washer:
