The Touring Pickle

Athena and I (Chino) completed our first over-night, mini-tour this past weekend, riding about 50 miles up the C&O Canal trail, camping, and returning the next day.  We're planning on doing a lot of this, not only this summer, but into the foreseeable future.

We learned a ton this weekend, both things to do and things not to do...and vetted a lot of our expectations one way or another.  I'm going to be posting a lot about this as we continue, so to avoid clogging up the Pirates page, I've started new blog dedicated to just our touring escapades.

You can read the whole story over at Little Rays Touring Blog

Enjoy.
See the world on a bike.

Strava Online

Pirates!
If you have a GPS enabled device for your bike, Android, or iPhone you should be part of Strava.com, I have created a Sonoran Pirate Group on this site. To summarize what this site is if you do not know it is a site where you upload your physical activity you do and it runs comparisons of the other members who have done the same kind of activity. It compares segments of your rides and tells you your performance and ranking for the locations you are riding. I strongly recommend all Pirates join up. Sooo Motivating!


Once we get more members up and running on the site and joined in the club we can place an activity tracker on the pirates site.

Happy trails!
