Another week and another crisis of sorts. Lynne received a bike fitting over the weekend at the shop - Thanks Karrie!

Now she's so fast and confident I don't know what to do with her. Look out all you aport women riders.

After flatting on the first two rides of the year, we have successfully navigated through a few more trips without incident.

Plans are progressing for the climbing trip this summer. Now it looks as if we'll be doing a twofer trip - Mt Hood and Mt Rainier. Details are being formulated.

Another ride today and another flat for Lynne - this time a large thorn in her front tire.

Well that's two for two in her case. Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

On another note: I received my climbing pass for Mount Rainier to day. Two months until I leave for this year's trip.

Lynne & I were out for the second time in two days - YIPPEE!

Lynne getting her groove on with her new ride!


The new pink ride is finally getting broken in - literally that is.


While riding through the Hoyt trails Lynne was able to find one of the many discarded relics from age old Tosa town. A 2" piece of old nail or something of that sort punctured the rear tire - dead centered it actually.


Here she is while waiting patiently for the mechanic to finish up the repairs. Is it done yet?



That makes for 2 out of 6 rides this year with flat tires.

With the upcoming forecasted nice weather we should be out again tomorrow too!

Until next time ->)
