Similar to last week, the dark clouds loomed over us for the entire ride. The threat of rain was with us throughout the ride but the rain never came until after we were done. It was good to see all the friendly faces show up ready to ride regardless of the weather. It was actually …

Remember when you were a kid and you were making Easter eggs? And you got tired of making those boring single color Easter eggs? So you decided to make the coolest, multi-colored Easter egg and spent 20 minutes (but it seemed like 3 hours) holding an egg partially suspended at different angles in the different color …

Doug, Jerrold, Phebe, Rene, Phoebe, Nancy, Karen (riding solo), Gail (riding solo), Kary, and myself rode the Mercer Island Loop on a sunny Saturday afternoon. After some tough mid-week negotiation, Nancy and I agreed to ride tandem (Note: If Nancy weren’t a pastor, she would be qualified to negotiate nuclear arms treaties and national labor deals). I drove into the Mercer …

Boy we were blessed with a wonderful day yesterday. Colin and his son showed up with all kinds of bicycle tools that we got a chance to try! Colin is an avid biker of all terrain, and once held a Beacon Hill bike shop. Some of the repairs/adjustments we made yesterday were tire change, tire …
