Woo-woo! Looks right. That's what led to our downfall. A friend and his stoker went to France on vacation (no biking) and loaned us their Cannondale tandem. In retrospect, I can't believe they did that. We would have a very hard time loaning someone our CoMo. I guess they really like us! In any case, we rode that bike quite a bit while they were gone and found tandeming to be our thing. When they came back, they sold the C'dale and bought a new CoMo Speedster, and we found a used one in Texas. We now tandem with them every weekend.

Weather doesn't look that bad there. You actually have a lawn! And it's green! We have a "natural yard." Who wants to mow when they could be cycling! Saw a bunny in it yesterday as we left on the bike.

Next: photo of you both on the bike.

Got the MRI on my back. Sort of bad news. Just plain age-related degenerative issues. Doc says he sees patients with MRIs like mine who can hardly walk, but because of my high level of activity, I'm maintaining. It's getting better for some reason, though. Probably as it gets better, my activity level goes up and that makes it get better. The usual positive feedback loop. High altitude mountaineering however is definitely out, though I plan on climbing Rainier every few years until I can't anymore.
