Acute Vacationism
Don’t hate me because I’m travelling again. This trip is about as different as you can get from the last one. We’re packing the family into the Subie and heading to Minneapolis for spring break. Well, not the entire family…
The Horror
Getting back on the trainer last night hurt. It hurt bad. But not in the way you would think. Sure the butt is a little (ok a lot) tender, and I pedalled in squares for the first 5 minutes, but…
Loaded for Beer
This could possibly be the best bike accessory ever made. Goodness knows I do not condone drinking and driving, but if you do need to transport your precious beer cargo on two wheels, you may as well do it in…
Saturday – Lemmon Pie
Our last day. How did that happen? Although my legs were totally cooked, there was no question that if there was an opportunity to ride, I would. I didn’t really think that ride would entail a 6,000 foot climb up…

Tuesday – Chiricahua
The town of Willcox Arizona may not have much, but they do have one thing that makes us very, very, happy to be here… a Starbucks. Another early morning, this time headed 90 miles East to the Chiricahua Monument, then back…
Monday – Nice n’ Easy
Today we rolled out of Tombstone for the 72 mile ride to Wilcox. Which was a shame really, since I have been the belle of the ball here. So far I have caught the eye of an old and overweight…
Sunday – Giddy Up
Today was the official start of PAC tour. Every day is pretty much the same, and for good reason. We have about 27 registered riders travelling from place to place with bikes and luggage and all of the associated logistical…
