Stopped by a friend's house to pick him up before we hit the trails and admired the eye candy he had parked in his garage. His daily drivers are a Mini Cooper S and a Ford Pickup. o_O

just got home from the Portland bridge ride. it was fun overall. but sections were so slow when people got benched together. they staggered the starting but there were 4 separate rides that joined in the middle of the main rides. the ride was about 25 miles but it was 18 or so miles round trip for us to get there and back. banana stations all over and at the end 2 tables of bananas and ice cream and such. I cant eat carbs so none for me. Its tough going so slow on the tandem one part it was easier to just walk. They covered the steel grate of one bridge with cardboard. Nothing like riding on the free way going the wrong way on a bike finally was able to get some speed going. We averaged 9.4 mph with a max of 28mph. Took 2 hours. they had everyone sign their names when we were finished. You see the tallest bridge we went over.

Today I heard a bottle crack under me and kept riding. Then later when I stopped to pick some blackberries I checked the front tire for thorns and discovered this glass was fully imbeded so as to be flush with the tire tread. I dug it our with my house key and yay no flat! I dont know if the Tannus Armour inserts made the save or the Schwalbe Marathon MTB plus did the job but I was glad to have them both to allow me to continue unhindered.
