My wife! Crazylady!




Panniers and trunk bag on the rack I adapted for a Sun EZ3



And a look down her long EZ Chair for touring.


She also got a nice pair of Lake Mountain bike shoes, too, so we're more or less set for Summer Touring trips. We might RIDE down to the speedway for the Tour de Cure.

She's also riding with Team Stormcrowe this year.

The bum is getting there. I may try a little trainer time next week or so.

Yeah, you're right, but she can trackstand all day.
