A coworker was in from Peterborough, UK last week, before his flight home today we went on the Sunday group ride.

He on the Bianchi, Lou on his Gitane, and I on the 1986 7-Eleven team bicycle.

huge group for coffee this morning - I should have taken more photos, but we got gabbing
and I apologized to Tom for the very French mods on my great English club racer

Friday was glorious, a dry line came through overnight and it was absolutely chilly rolling at 7am - the sun soon took care of that, but it was a great morning.
- I have been getting my rides in (over 100mi/wk) - just have kayak of the brain right now - logistics for fall coast trips with Lou and Steve, et.al. - tuning rigging, spying rent properties, tide charts, e-mailing proposals to buddies. But that is solved, we got the fleet and our canal rent property on Estes Flats secured for the October new moon. (Estes Flats is on the upper right of the chart)
I bought a new paddle

Tried out the Windham, NH rail trail. They want to make sure you know it's a rail trail, so they parked this here (sarcasm aside, I think it's pretty cool. I also had a better joke for this, but couldn't get the wording quite right).

The ride goes by all kinds of nice scenery, but I could hear the approach of a large expense of kids (I believe "expense" is the collective term for a group of kids) that I had already passed and didn't want to get caught up in that again like Gulliver in Lilliput, so I didn't get a great shot. Kids like this bike, but I don't have the heart to tell them it looks cool and has some unique attributes (cue Joerg Sprave, "Let me show you its features!"), but is actually pretty terrible—rides fairly comfortably, but it feels every pound that it is and the frame is as flexible as a ballerina, but in a bad way and with none of the dedication to an art . . . and now I miss my dancer ex.

Anyway, I could hear the words of the chill artist, Mr. Robert Ross, echoing in my head: "Maybe there's a squirrel living in your happy tree."
"Can it be an unhappy squirrel getting plucked off a branch by a redtail hawk?"
"It's your world, it can be anything you want."
"Thanks, Bob, you're swell!"
