The cycling season...

This year has seen Bev and I do quite a bit of cycling. We began with the Alabama Tandem Weekend. Then we had the Florida Bike Safari. Next came a series of one day rides including the Hot Hundred in Tuscaloosa, The Jim Glassner Memorial in Montgomery, and The All You Can Eat in Huntsville. Last weekend we did the BRAG Bikefest 3 day event in Newnan, Georgia. Coming up at the end of October is a trip to North Carolina. We will be within striking distance of the Virginia Creeper Trail and the New River Trail. I am hoping to get in some riding on 3 days while there. We had a lot of fun at the Tandem Rally and of course the Safari was great. Some of these other rides were very scenic and worth the trip but having to get up so early and drive so far takes some of the charm away. It is so nice to have supper and breakfast waiting for you. After this next trip, cooler weather will begin to affect our riding. It will be a time for camping and hiking again. Next year should be a banner year for cycling. And by the end of summer, Bev can better her 82 mile ride with a full century.
