Where has the time gone?
We’ve been pedaling but there’s been little time to post with the remodeling job on the house that we’re doing. I’ll just lump a bunch of outings all together, starting in July 2023 and working backwards The early morning beach pedal on the recumbents.

Our Thanksgiving morning pedal.
Our late morning pedal before feasting on Thanksgiving goodies was a little different than we planned.As we traversed the valley the Santa Ana winds really began to picked up. It was like pedaling with the brakes on. The wind was intense.That’s when we saw the slight bit of smoke about a mile or 2 away.… Continue reading Our Thanksgiving morning pedal.
