First time with a passenger

Yesterday I rode about 92 miles with a passenger.  Emily was a willing test subject to see if I know how to pilot a bike with someone sitting behind me.  We went part way up Marys Peak to where Rich and Greg were with a bunch of other Something Awful goons shooting off massive amounts of ammunition.  I had the opportunity to shoot a couple of different pistols and an AK-74 (I think?).  All were fun.  We were right at the snow line, too.  Rather surreal.  It felt a little like Kosovo.

On the way back into town we decided to do the Kings Valley route.  It was all quite fun!

A few road bike rides and some time in the gym

I didn’t get around to recording two road bike rides in the last week.  The one ride was about 25 miles and the other was about 15 miles.  Pace was 15mph on the first and 14mph on the second.  Also this week I went into the gym several times to run on the track and lift some weights.  Gotta get ready for swimsuit season!

Welcome home 1989 Honda Pacific Coast PC800!

Tonight I finalized the purchase of my brand new (to me, thanks Ryan S!) 1989 Honda Pacific Coast PC800. It’s the white tupperwear stormtrooper bike of awesomeness! Tomorrow hopefully I’ll have the time to take it out for a quick jaunt around town. Since it was dark when I picked it up I didn’t have the chance to get a photo but soon I’ll post one.

SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE! Only 6 miles though on the way home. 🙂
