For all of you who have been reading about our bike issues, I'm happy to say our bike is fixed! Thanks to the guys at Block Bikes. They installed a Chris King bottom bracket and new chains. They also adjusted everything. We tested the bike on a great night ride. Block sponsor's a 25 mile ride through the streets of the AV. It's not quite a "Critical Mass", but was a lot of fun (there were over 50 bikes). We met a lot of people, including some who have tandems. We were the only tandem that night, but maybe more will show up! Check out the ride by clicking the link below:We still need to test the bike on some hills using the granny gear. The "hills" we ride on our training route do not seem like hills anymore. Guess we will have to find a different route!
We organized all of our photos from our trip. Take a look.
Ev and I have started to discuss the next trip. We might ride from S.F. to Santa Barbara this fall if we can take the time. Vancouver, BC to Florence, OR may have to wait until 2011.
