As simple as it sounds, Joe S is hopefully as stoked as I am that the bag is ready for his 58 Cross Check.

Little Bikes and Accessories
It is amazing how even the “simple things” like installing a basket can become a challenge with little bikes:
You do not really want to see how bad it was if I used the front struts from the factory. The factory mounting straps are obviously going to take a bit of work to fit appropriately.
Ponies Make Everything Better
Today was a slow starting day for the Co-pilot, sleep has been rough lately with the teeth in the rear starting to make their appearance. After yesterday’s long ride I thought we could go out on the river trail for a bit and see how long things hold up. Once again the fog was pretty thick.
Things were going well at mile 6, but the fog was making everything damp. I decided to pass on the playground and detour out along Canada Larga Rd. I was thinking that some ponies and cows might make the morning a little more interesting.
It helped wake her up a bit, but like I sad we were slow starting….
after a couple hundred feet of altitude gain on the back roads the motor was feeling the slow start too, and decided it was time to point things back down hill.
The cows and bunnies were just OK, but scarring up a flock of birds was almost like a cup of coffee,
And then we were back to the ponies!!!!
Pure stoke! just enough to keep her from falling asleep on the way home. All in all we squeezed in about 14 miles in an hour an 15 minutes, not too bad for a loaded down xtracycle.
Biggest Ride Ever
For my co-pilot that is. No opie to babysit today, I needed to go to the market, so it was time to expand the range a bit. First stop was the swap meet. The fog was back in full force this morning.
From there along the coast to the other side of town. Plenty of Co-pilot snacks make for a better trip.
Half way to the farmer’s market we took a break to watch a giant date palm getting pulled like a weed
Then off to get some fruit, veggies and meat.
Even with plenty of cheesy crackers and fruit samples, energy levels were fading fast as we headed for home
Overall he trip went great. We pushed both time and distance further than we had before. The dividends were a bike full of food, some tired legs and a serious nap for Co-pilot while I am catching up on things.
Have fun, and Play outside!!!
Cross Town Play Groung Ride
The fog blew out last night and it was a perfect day to ride across town and explore a bit.
The temperatures are running in the mid 60s and there was barely a puff of breeze, so we headed off to a new to us play ground.
Post playground view back towards home. Tomorrow we head out even further to the farmer’s market. As she is getting bigger the range we can go while still having fun is getting bigger.
