Tandem Night in Doo-Dah

The Coasters Bicycle club hosts another great Tandem Night in Wichita Kansas.  

I did not follow instructions

Stopping to Gawk at Wichita Waterwalk

The evening was fair with not a breeze to rustle my hair.  We rode from the south fast and arrived downtown at last.  We stopped for burgers and beer then headed out without fear. (No brakes might scare some people)... 

Last stop was to gawk at the fountain at Wichita Waterwalk.

Klunker

Before there was mountain bikes.. There were Klunkers.

Charlie Kelly sent me a T-Shirt

Ok... So, I really had to buy it off EBay. 

I am a big fan of T-Shirts as much as I am a fan of Klunking and the early years of mountain biking.

Long story short... Charlie Kelly is one of the pioneers of mountain biking and this is a shirt with a print of one of the first posters for the Repack races.

I am gonna wear the crap outa this thing.

Thank you Charlie Kelly

Called into work at 3am ... On my way boss

Here is what you will need for an early morning run to the office:

Donuts, coffee and filters in tool can, lights, lock, orange juice in water bottle, cash and identification, coffee cup, and a big knife because you never know who or what will come at you.

30 min and 7 miles later and I'm here.  

Well, it is time to get the coffee going.

Funday Friday on the Town

Fooling around on a Friday night... What better way to do it then doing it on a bicycle.  The weather is fine... Get out and ride!!!

May is Bike Month

Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to giving biking a try. Whether you bike to work or school; ride to save money or time; pump those pedals to preserve your health or the environment; or simply to explore your community, National Bike Month is an opportunity to celebrate the unique power of the bicycle and the many reasons we ride.

Check out Bicycle Ride and Seek on Facebook.  This months challenge should be a fun one.  Join in to have fun. Over the next couple weeks I will be posting pictures of my accomplishments.
