Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July everyone!  Just got back from the Dublin 4th of July Parade.  Darla and I biked down there.  Even though it was raining we had a blast!  We parked the bikes at Le Chatelaine, got breakfast goodies and coffee, and watched the parade.  Outside of the coffee cup (I don't have a cage on the bike yet) it was a zero impact day.

Darla has been riding to work a couple of times a week and really getting a bunch of other people involved and riding as well.  I am disappointed that I haven't yet, but its only my second week of work.  I think I am going to attempt this week.

Something that I wanted to bring to your attention that's going on here in Columbus on August 23rd is Bike the C-Bus and the Long Street Tour.  My Friend, Ray, is involved in that.  Check out those links or email Ray at raymondmgeorge@gmail.com.

The Crew are hosting the Fire tomorrow.  Dar and I are going with our good friends, the McQuires, to it.  Go Crew!

UPDATE

Well we rode our bikes over to the Dublin fireworks and had a fantastic time.  We sat in the Coffman yard with our bikes and used a tent footprint and a fleece blanket to keep our bums dry.  My new bike headlight and tail lights worked flawlessly.  I have a hiking headlamp that has a red night lens on it that I wore for seeing in my pannier and then wore it backwards around my neck on the ride home for extra visibility.

Saturday we went to the McGuire's pad and ate some good burgers and enjoyed a Great Lakes sampler pak and watched the Crew come back and tie it up against the Fire.  Ended up being a great evening!
