Couple guys riding their bicycles from Cancun Mexico up to Quebec Canada. Left about three months ago and have about two more months to ride a total of approximately 8000 miles. Filling up their plastic water bottles in Bone, Idaho

And I'm back! Took a 28 hour road trip to Tennessee with my entire family to visit my nephew and goddaughter of my brother who passed away. It was amazing! I missed my ladies and all of you. Returned late last night got some sleep, woke up to ride my bicycle to church. Road around town afterwards. Feels good to be home!

The penny farthing club had a race. Some of them were in full-on racing mode, but the guy in the second photo was playing to the crowd by taking a drink from a spectator on every lap.....

This is what coming fourth in a penny farthing race reduces a man to, begging for liquid refreshment outside a bar. Well deserved after 5k.....

I ended up riding this as fast as I dared round the crit circuit at the end of the day, great fun!

Finally got the Crown back on the road. A long hiatus, involving multiple changes, in what turned out to be an odd sized, mis-formed tire, that I had gotten at a LBS on the cheap. Rode around the riverfront village of Piermont. Nice rider, the Red band needs a little tweaking. Had to pickup a couple of bikes that I had lent out for their Bastille day celebration, yesterday. Brought out three that I thought looked the most French. They were a hit, who says that the masses don't like vintage.
