First Ride of the Season

It was a nice warm spring day and the sun was out for a while and we were too.
My wife and I ride a very unique bike. It is a recumbent tandem bike. It is really two separate trikes (three wheels) and we remove the front wheel from my wife’s cycle and hook the empty front fork to the back of my cycle. This results in a 5 wheeled contraption that helps to blend our pedal power. When we were at the peak of our biking two years ago we did several rides that were over 50 miles for the day.

Today was just a 5.7 mile ride down McKinley Blvd, weaving through the north east corner of the neighborhood, cutting south to M Street and taking that back to catch Santa Ynez back home. It was a perfect little ride to start out the season. We’re looking forward to many more rides.
