Loading up the family assault vehicle for a 50 mile organized ride. Sort of sad as the German gentleman, Karl, passed away this year. The old guy was the chairman for this ride since its inception 24 years ago. Nothing fancy about the ride but still a fun diversion on a lazy August Saturday morning.

Skin on the mayo. Love it! Gets a little translucent around the edges too. I’d probably eat it.
New bike came, inexplicably, with 40mm tires, which look silly and are slow on the road, but this morning I took it hooning for about 20 mi through the woods on the nearby canal towpath. Holy cow, that was fun and a reminder that I have zero off-road skills.

Hitting the Sonic after the ride!
Pickle juice slushy, and a couple of recovery chili cheese dogs.

So apparently congeniality has never been your thing.

I had a recovery pulled pork sandwich after today's 50 miler. For veggies, there were cole slaw, potato salad, and Doritos. 
During the ride, I had a 1/4 apple and an Oats & Honey bar. I had no energy drinks or pickle juice.

Getting in to tandem ownership/riding is not for the faint of heart. Tandems are a boutique machine and the prices reflect that. I'm not going to quote prices but peruse Tandems East, Precision Tandems, or Tandems, Ltd websites and look at the prices. Pretty tough to get people to shell out thousands and thousands for a machine they might not even be able to ride. It's no wonder that tandem rallies and tours, and there are many, are full of older affluent couples.

Beach day with the family. Totally ruining my painstakingly cultivated cyclist's tan.
