We do not usually ride on sidewalks, but there was a small river running in the gutter, and the spray from passing cars even reached us on the sidewalk.

My latest gearing change to the bike, a nice range of 21 gear inches to 1254 gear inches.

cycco--that lead slug tower is pretty neat, human ingenuity eh? It makes me think how they "collected" them, at first I thought going into water, but you'd think hitting water would distort the shape, so maybe a series of "less impact" water streams to cool them down and harden them before hitting a bottom tank of water..... who knows.
Just curious |

I went to Mud Island during a family reunion in Memphis. Neat place. Walked the entire river model. A lot more interesting than Graceland. :innocent:

My wife stops at almost every "old" church. I told her on one tour, " you can only stop at every 3rd church or we'll never finish this ride." I'm pretty sure she didn't hear me.;) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f6c4dfce_c.jpg |

I am impressed you got 6 people to do fully loaded touring at the same time. I am thrilled if I can get 3 others to join me.
