On Sunday I was able to help out the local MS society by taking pictures of the MS Challenge Walk down in Gaffney, SC. It was an amazing experience to watch all of the family members and volunteers who make this event possible. I just wanted to thank everyone that took part in this event and I want to thank Jeff for asking me to help out.

This past Saturday, May 9, 2009, Bicycles East put on their highly successful Poker Ride. It is a ride to raise money for MAC Cares. All the monies raised stays local to help disenfranchised youths channel their energies into swimming. A worthy goal.

There were many volunteers to help make this a successful ride, I apologize that I cannot print your names here as I did not get everyone’s. The manned three rest stops along the 51 mile route.

A few more images

Here are a few more images taken today. A bit better focus, a different background. To see the effect of the unidirectional carbon take a look at the image in front of the trellis and garbage can. That particular image really looked a lot like the actual bike from the specific angle the sun was hitting it at. The striations in the carbon tubes are clearly visible through the clear coat.

The first ride(s)

Remember the excitement as a kid when you got your first bicycle and couldn’t wait to get it our onto the driveway. Well the same kind of feeling came over us. That said we get on the road for the first ride and all is not as it seems. First thing is that we miss the Thursday night group by five minutes. Then rushing around I do not do my usual check before starting out. so we get on the road and since we haven’t ridden a tandem since August it was a shaky start. We wiggled and wobbled down the road and I had a hard time holding the handlebars still and straight. Everything giggled. It was like riding in a ‘77 Olds Delta 88 with bad shocks.

Here are some more images taken during the build process.

We’re unpacking!

It arrived safely and it is beautiful, Nicole took about 95 pictures of me unpacking and unwrapping the frame and fork. The box is very well used. On it hand written is the phrase, “Rue Sports, We recycle everything.” Inside there are sheets of used Styrofoam. A lot of packing material to protect the frame during shipping. The frame is wrapped in one of life’s dishonest pleasures, bubble wrap! Also in the box are an Alpha-Q Tandem fork, Bushnell eccentric and seat post clamps. Everything is in great shape.
