bicycle built for two

we took the tandem out for a shakedown ride.
my wife's first ride in almost two years.
funny how that is. a guy like me and a wife that doesn't ride.
much.
but hey, it's all good.
she needs some gear tho. kinda fred looking.
course we were both lookin like freds on our hybrid tandem.
but that shit doesn't matter.
it was awesome out and we shared a great ride.
i hope just the 1st of many.




































































17 miles. not too shabby for a lady that gave birth to
the cutest munchkin a mere 6 weeks ago.

give me a sign

i gave my two week notice at work yesterday.
i was conflicted but i think i made the right decision.
eh, time for a ride to clear out my head.
mid-afternoon on a wednesday seemed as good of a time as any.
too bad it was 90 out. beats workin tho.

the 1st sign was confusing













the 2nd was a little judgmental














the 3rd was like christmas future














time for some cathartic climbing


















i didn't even notice my pump handle until i was
almost done riding.


















































my reba is leaking


















kewl rocks


















































the last sign made me rush home
put on my foil hat and eat olestra chips.

it's just a flesh wound

after some research on mtbr
i realized that like some other folks
i hurt the least when upright and
on the bike. hmmmm.
so i broke out the volpe to ask for
forgiveness and some bonding time.
it went well. hurts, but tolerable.
analgesics should only improve the situation.




























i love my new dinotte light.
pac man on the canals.


















i think i'll have room for the tandem
once i can use a saw and a power hammer.














that only makes 10 bikes.
i got some work to do.

ow. yaay.

I went down pretty good the other night
and thought I cracked a rib or two.
X-rays were negative so it appears to
be a deep internal bruise or something.
Which is why I'm missing out on the
Prescott Monster Cross today. Dammit.
Oh well, such is life.
I r dumbarse sometimes.














































I made up for it by geting a smokin deal on
a bike for the family.
