We took a break from the kitchen to get in a good ride. I'll try to make this a visual presentation rather than write a bunch of the same old words.
Old wounds are healing.
Heading towards Burchfield Park. We've done this just a few times now, and we're getting faster and stronger each time. One short stretch of gravel here. Hawks and turkey vultures everywhere. Quinn loves to watch the birds soar - he usually can tell the difference between the hawks and vultures.
At the park, walking from the restrooms, past the swimming beach, to one of the playgrounds.
This is the other playground. Quinn needed a little help.
Abbey shows him how, but a little later, Quinn did it on his own!
Packing up to go. Abbey always brings a spare pair of shoes so she can play at the parks without lumps of metal on her feet. See the big blue Burley? You can't tell but it has a new bottom bracket up front. The first lasted less than 800 miles, but probably failed because it worked loose. The original chain lasted only 500 miles before it began to wear enough that it wouldn't stay put on the rear cogs. The bikes were less expensive because Burley used some low end parts on the Rumbas. We're counting on the fact that the frames were the same on all the Burley road tandems, and we can replace the cheap components if they fail.
The little blue Burley. See that stack of water bottles?
Usually we pack a lunch, but the cupboards were bare, so we stopped for lunch in Mason.
Here's the park in Mason. Not the best angle to reveal it, but see if you can find the dragon.
A good, long ride it was.
