I'm jealous.

I tried to make out the street as I lived on Root Trail back in 1991, but not possible from this picture.

Nice watch also by the way ;-)

I made a bad guess about the location of the photo.  The Breakers entrance is red bricked, not black topped.

I think that is 1500 RPM at 13-14 mph - should be about right in low gear.
