carry me to the...

ahhhh....pegs!!

who could resist asking for a ride when one of your friends has a ride like this? i know that everyone has (recently) seriously considered riding on your firend's handlebars or that "i'll sit on the seat, and you stand up and pedal" thing. But when you know folk who hook it up with a sweet set of pegs, you can piggy back in style and comfort!

and check out that rockin' basket up front!

Circ for real

the "official" RTF circumnavigation ride happened this past weekend. after some trail work, and a little getting lost, we made it.

we found ourselves off the bike quite a bit. whatever... there were about 15 of us. it was so awesome to look back behind you and see a (what seemed to be) never ending line of riders behind you. sure it made for slow creek crossings, and a lot of stopping, but the RIDE is what is all about.

seeming to become just as much a tradition is...the stop at Bodos. this year Bodos was a bit closer to the end of the ride. but it's the perfect egg stop. hanging out under the trees wishing we had a tub full of Tecnu, it was amazing.
countless hikers, dogs, runners, down trees, and one bum on a drunk bike with a disassembled derailleur who was "going to get me a cold one."

perfect ride.

post ride BBQ hosted by James and Johanna, hit the spot. so did the cold one.
