Cycle Ti Thunder

My wife Sylvia found the perfect bikes for slow social rides yesterday at Cycle World. The previous owner of the bike had to stop riding due to health issues per her doctor's orders. We purchased both bikes for $600. I have not had a bike with a kickstand since I was 7 years old back in 1960. I have not had a bike with fenders since the mid-1990s. I now have a nice bike commuter bicycle for those short rides to work.

This is a short video of the breakfast bread that we did on June 18th 2016. The ride started off with a light sprinkle so my camera which is mounted on the rear of my bike got raindrops on it. I did get some images of the participants in the ride.

Well after much whining and gnashing of teeth I finally have a Three Foot sign up at Abbott's Country Store.

The Carport Gang started in the summer of 2015. We had started doing a slow roll ride starting at the home of Richard and Sharon Thompson.  We would wind through the neighborhoods of west Albany and end up at a local  Mexican restaurant, Los Vaqueros.  On one occasion our ride was delayed by thunder showers.  Richard bought out some potato vodka and juice and made us all drinks while we waited in his garage for the lightning top pass.  This was the birth of the Carport Gang #carportgang This summer during our visit to the beach near Apalachicola Bay on St. George Island, Florida.  We arrived at the rental beach house early and well we started celebrating the evening with some spirits.

+Donna Shockey Yielding and the #carportgang  gave +Sylvia Wormley an I  wonderful gift.  I hung it by our front door today.

It took me a while to get this video posted.  I like having my camera mounted on the rear of my bike.

I really like riding south to Florida.  I also like riding point to point and having my wife  +Sylvia Wormley  meet me with the car so I can drive home. Five Thirty start Seven Hour Century. Beautiful butterfly food One thing that I like about my bike is that it is comfortable on long rides.  This ride I did not take a lot of extra gear.  I basically had my tire repair kit and water bottles.  I did not take a jacket and rode almost half the distance in my arm warmers.  Even thought it was raining and the temperature was in the low fifties I was pretty comfortable being wet and on my bike.  Towards the end of the ride the temperature creeped into the high sixties so I took my arm warmers off and stowed them in my jersey pockets. My Samsung Galaxy Note 5 did great on battery life.  I had 50% at the end of the ride.  I have the FollowMee application on my phone and on  +Sylvia Wormley  phone so we can see wher...
