I enjoyed all the posts with my morning joe, seeing the opinions fly
made for some interesting reading. My 2 cents; moved to Upstate N.Y.
a couple of months ago from Tucson (I know, nuts!). Finally was able
to get on a bike yesterdaywent about 12 miles on my Rambo and
almost dropped a lung.

Wild turkeys do fly and quite well. It's just not their favorite

My stepson rode his first century on our tandem yesterday! Here are

Eric, I'd really like to see you and your grandson on a tandem, but
when I try to open the link I get a message that it's a private page.
I'm working on getting my wife motivated to buy a tandem and am
looking for all the advice and insight I can get.

Thanks Eric,
Boy it seems pretty early in the year to being doing a century, even
on a tandem. Of course, here in Vt. the cycling season is just
beginning for hard core riders. I've been laid up with a bum foot for
six months now, so any riding sounds awfully good to me.
I'd love to hear your

Congrats on the first century. I've been vowing to do my first century for
the better part of a decade. We'll see. The two local centuries are the
Santa Fe century in early May -- starts too early in the am to drive 60
miles from Albuquerque, and then it's hilly, not so good on a fixed gear --

Today two Bleriots bounced around the unpaved roads near Middleburg,
Virginia for about 38 miles. Precipitation prediction was 90%, it had
rained most of the night and most local club rides were canceled, but
one fellow who scheduled a “rustic” ride said he was heading out. So

Wow, that is a supremely nice build! Shiny silver bits everywhere.
John, I share your disdain for black bike parts. At least in context,
on a classic build like that. Hope to follow shortly with my Saluki
pics. It's rolling, but without racks for a week or two yet...

Nice bike John,
I hope your back appreciates the high bars.

That bike looks great. I really like the way those shifters look.

Michael, tandems are wonderful! They equalize riding between unequal
riders, so there's no waiting or hard feelings or anyone getting exhausted.
If you and your wife ride at the same level (speed & endurance) it's not as
big a deal, but if one is significantly stronger, it's the only way to enjoy
Joan, sounds like a PERFECT ride! Glad to hear you got dragged out there
and did it! :-)

A search of the group archives indicates there's been no discussion of
_Into Thick Air_ by Jim Malusa. I found it a very interesting read,
not just because of the bike content. Anybody else read it?

Another one in the can. 60 miles on the beach is hart to beat, just
sayin'. Ride left Oceanside, making its way through Camp Pendleton, then
past Trestles along old PCH and into San Clemente. From there it's probably

Well put, David.
I especially enjoyed the company - and the early chaparral bloom.
Conversation wandered from bicycles to geo-sciences to 20th Century
Italian history. Pizza and beer, of course. Here are some more
