June 7 Tandem riding report
Tandem riding report for June 7. Today's 50 mile ride was preempted by Mother Nature who is having significant hot flashes. The asphalt patches on the road have become bubbling tar pits waiting to swallow the yellow mosquito eater. If this should happen we will have to wait for it to emerge in 10,000 years when paleontologists of that era will identify it as dinosaur bones. We can't have that. While we wait for mother nature to come into a reasonable state, the captain is spending his time sawing logs. The admiral (stoker ) is stringing guitars and trying to appreciate the temp set on the air conditioner while considering putting on a sweatshirt. I will stop now and save you from further description of our non- ride today.
