42 days to Safari. This has been a very good riding week. Bev and I have ridden most every day except Wednesday and I got in a very nice ride of 30 miles with Richmond and Paul. Today's ride went up to Sycamore. Sara and Melissa were going to do a 50 mile loop. Denis, Josh, Jake and Eric went off on about a 30 miler. When we left from the bike shop they were far ahead. It didn't take long to reel them in. Sara got close on the uphill into Sycamore. I saw her coming so I dropped the hammer and left her behind. My legs are getting some strength back. Not quite up to last summer, but getting there.
We are also counting down to the AHTC at Cheaha. That should be fun too. Then there is the Alabama Tandem Weekend. That might be a chance to meet some people to do some tandem rides with. Since we have no folks up here who ride and no one we think might ever get involved, we would be lucky to find some folks who might meet us for rides.
I can really feel the heavy weight of the old tandem lately. I am thinking about how light a new Trek 2000 or a Cannondale would be. When Bev has lost down to her target weight the only way to make further gain will be with a better bike. It might be nice to have STI shifting and good brakes.
