The ride on Saturday (6/26) brought out sixteen people; one tandem with our youngest rider among all those who made it to the top and back. The ride started out cold as is typical in the mountains. We had a little mist as we worked our way over to Hwy 410 but the riders were …

I rode our tandem into work this morning. Heading up Rainier Avenue with a little added pressure to the pedals, I felt the crank suddenly give. The last few times out I had noticed some squeaking, especially on the hills, so I was intending to bring the tandem into RE Cycles before the STP. Now …

With STP only a few weeks away, did Daniel and I need to go on a ride? Especially since Daniel has only been out a few times? YES. So what did we do? We decided to spend this day as a family on a road trip to Canada. At least that was the plan until …

Got up around 5:00 am this morning to meet Mike down by Loehman’s for a quick spin around the Lake Washington (south loop). It felt good to be out in the early morning air. The silence only broken by the whirring of our wheels as we rode at a quick pace — and by our chatter. The opportunity to just have …

We started the ride with a pleasant surprise! We had three new guys join our group that morning: Mike Shaw’s bro, Steve, Steve’s friend, Kelvin, and Uncle Jon’s brother-in-law, …

We couldn’t ask for a better day to ride in the Flying Wheels Century. There were six of us Mike, John, Eric, Chris, Steve, and myself who met at the Marymoor starting line. It took us a little while to get organized and started but eventually we all found each other in the large crowd. …
