Family Album

Since Rich seems to have abdicated responsibility for this blog of late (and I have the password), I thought I'd regale our faithful readers with some Maron family photos.......

My brother came down from Anchorage, Alaska in late June so we dragged my old Jack Taylor tandem out of the shed. I certainly wouldn't ride one of these every day (even on the off chance that I could find a willing partner), but they make for a nice change of pace. For anyone that hasn't ridden alongside one, they're a bit slow on the climbs, make for a powerful partner in a pace line, and just plain kick ass on the descents.

Dave S is just biding his time, waiting to hop on the wheel when the big rig goes by:



Think we'd go faster if he trimmed that beard?

Not exactly the height of cycling fashion perhaps.......but we kept it moving pretty good nonetheless:

Moving on to another family member - late this spring my daughter expressed an interest in getting a lighter road bike - we found an old Cannondale R500 in Lakeside on Craigslist; we're still tweaking her position and components. We've done a half dozen rides (her favorite stretch of road is the descent of Lester River Road) culminating with a ride from Brighton Beach to the Moose and back last Sunday morning with Rich (for a bit) and Dave. She's comfortable taking pace and hung with us on average 17-18 mph ride.

Proud papa!!

I'm thinkin' you'll be seeing more of this young lady.
