Today of course was the Bicycles East Veterans Day Ride. Just over 60 miles through Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Union Counties. The weather forecast was for rain in the morning tapering off to a nice sunny day by mid-afternoon. For this ride we have the entire family involved. First off Annette was working at the registration table, she was a cyclist and would love to again but some inevitable knee surgery prevents her from riding until it is over, hopefully in 2009.

What happens when you allow a few pedal heads to compare routes and drink beer at the same time? Morrow Mountain Massacre is what happens…

Nicole and I went out on the Memorial Day ride with the group from Bicycles East. This was the third Day in a row that I had to ride. The previous two days were fairly hard, so I knew this would be a little difficult.
We started out with two other tandems also on the ride. It is nice to see tandeming becoming more popular in the area. One couple was doing the 53 and the other doing 38 miles.
