Hitchin’ a Ride

Dover Loop: 11.99 miles
TANDEM Pedal Time: 58 minutes, average speed 12.2

The weather continues to give us ample sunshine and we decide to hold off our home duties to get one more July ride in before the month comes to an end. Dover is always a good choice for after work riding. We met up with daughter, Jill, at the Roadhouse for supper and after she parted we continued our journey home on the tandem—or not? What goes ping, ping, pop?

Just a few miles out of Dover, the rear rim snaps and quickly releases air from our back tire leaving us stranded. We realize we must phone Jill to rescue us. The van arrives and our ailing bike is gently placed inside. We’ll have to get the singles out while the Rans spends some time with Kevin at the Blue Heron Bike Shop in Onalaska.

July 2012 — Total Biking Miles 212.57

  1. Hope you two are back on your tandem soon pedaling all over. John and I are so excited for the MTR and post rally! Looks like it will be a great time!
