Saturday tandem loop to Strafford 05-21-2012
Pam and I got out and capped our week of bike commuting with a 28 mile ride to Strafford Saturday morning, giving us 147 tandem miles for the week!  Now it's time for Pam to take a well-deserved rest! She had some family obligations in the afternoon, so we hit the […]
Milestones 05-18-2012
Check it out!  10,000 miles on the tandem.   That equates to just a tad over 1,600 miles a year since we got it.  I know that doesn’t seem like a lot, but remember it’s one of three bikes I ride.  In addition, those miles are among the toughest I’ve […]
Bike to Work Week Meals 05-17-2012
Since it's Bike to Work Week, I thought it might be helpful if I shared how Pam and I handle meals when we're both riding to and from work.  To be honest, fixing a decent, healthy meal is the last thing either one of us want to do on a normal night.  I get home […]
Bike to Work Week – Wednesday Update 05-16-2012
Well, Bike to Work Week on the tandem is exactly half-way in the bag.  So far, it’s been an uneventful week, but I thought I would update with a few observations. First, Pam has done this riding to work thing with me enough that it is no big deal.  We’ve got […]
Can you call it progress? 05-16-2012
Well, unfortunately, it won’t be long now.  The new Walmart Neighborhood Market looks like it will be open any day now.  There are carts in the corral, cars in the parking lot, and trailers there every day now. Whether you’re a fan of Wally World, or not (and […]
Low Mileage Weekend 05-15-2012
After a weekend of not riding on 5/4 & 5/5, I was looking forward to a pretty long ride on Saturday.  With my Colorado trip just a month away, I was feeling a little anxiety over the challenge of riding in the mountains for the first time.   Sometimes, though, life […]
Riding with Chad 05-15-2012
  Last Friday, Chad was leaving from work to go out to Rogersville for a party in the park.  Since we were leaving at the same time, and since he had to get past my house to get out to Rogersville, it was only natural that we ride together through town. I think I […]
Glorious Thursday 05-14-2012
Thursday morning was one of those magical mornings that I live for.  Cool, crisp temperatures, bright sun, and muscles that felt good after a hard workout greeted me as I rode my bike up out of the river valley.  I could see a band of fog on the river behind me that made […]
Bike to Work Week – Monday 05-14-2012
In celebration of Bike To Work Week, I rode my bike to work.  Gee…you may be asking, “Isn’t that what you do every day?”.  Well, yes it is, but today, I rode the tandem!  For the past several years, Pam has enjoyed riding with me during Bike to […]
A game of deja vu 05-11-2012
Yesterday evening my wife ended up having to sit at the hospital with her mother, so that left me to my own devices.  When that happened, I did what I usually do in that state, which is take a bike ride.  I gathered up my best friend (pictured below) and headed out the […]
