Riding for Climate

Last weekend was our first taste of glorious spring weather, after tolerating a couple of weeks of gloriously bad spring weather (e.g., 40 degrees and raining). To fully take advantage of this, we rode the tandem from Boston to Amherst, MA (108 miles) on Saturday and Sunday, accompanying our new friends Dave and Bill. Dave and Bill are riding across the country doing presentations to raise awareness of climate change issues. Their website, www.rideforclimate.com, has all the details. Dave just finished a similar tour in which he bicycled from California to Tierra del Fuego (see www.rideforclimate.com/americas). Anyhow, we had an awesome time and hopefully I'll get some pictures posted on the blog. The tandem worked great and we look forward to outfitting it with real touring accoutrements and doing some more long rides.
