Ready as We're Gonna Get!

The big ride is drawing near, and we're in our final prep stage. We have been riding every weekend in September & October, except for last weekend, and are feeling more comfortable with our training. We had a great test weekend in September, when we rode in a tandem rally in hilly Jefferson, Texas (40 miles on Saturday, followed by 30 on Sunday), and did a 50/40 mile weekend in early October. Heights Blvd. continues to be our base training route. No tandem training last weekend because I discovered a broken spoke on the rear wheel last Friday. Frances has also been very consistently training on our spining bike during the week. Steve has not been so consistent :-)
