summer's almost over …

and I’ve hardly posted at all … ah well .. such is often the case with these blogs ..

today, however, i felt compelled to post since i’m still on a bit of a high from riding my bike for 3 hours and 52 minutes today … the longest ride for me this year .. not groundbreaking by most people’s standards .. but in my sorry state of physical shape, it was pretty damn exciting shit …

mike and kim rode the tandem that they borrowed from cat

I’m not sure if Kim had ever ridden for that long before, and she was pretty glad to be on the tandem for it.  She said she probably would have fallen way behind if she was on her own bike… Mike’s biggest dissapointment was that he didn’t think to change the driver’s saddle to his own (even though he swapped out the stoker’s saddle for Kim’s terry <G>) .. Toward the end of the ride, the tandem really started to pick up “saddle pain enduced speed” at times on the Clinton River Trail and I had to yell to keep them in check ;)  By the time we got over the expressway on Livenois, I figured it was time to let them free 😀

We stopped on one of the bigger bridges for a break on the way out and were greeted by 4 of these guys out on patrol:

They seemed to be just out riding around, checking on things.  Very friendly and they all looked like they were having a good time 🙂

After our wonderful 49 mile ride, Kim fixed up a bunch of left overs from her labor day party the day before – cheezy potatos, potato salad, fresh fresh corn on the cob (thanks Scott!) and some burgers.. yummmy .. Kim’s the best 😀
