Return of Two By Bike!

It's been a while, and we are certainly aware that our blog posts and photos may have been missed. We are happy to announce that our blog mistress (Kate) has finally gotten around to researching where to host our blog. There may be some growing pains as I get this new system figured out, but at least we're back!!

We are now both retired and have been spending lots of time in the sun this winter. To celebrate my retirement, we got new bikes (of course!) and have been doing our best to get out on them as much as possible, so much so, that we will be shopping for new tires in the spring.

Last week, we were in the San Diego area where we met up with Sandy's friend, Jan, one of the riders from her trip across Canada. We did some interesting and challenging rides at the coast including some might fine hill climbing, especially up to the Torrey Pines golf course in La Jolla. Whew, that was a good one; only had Sandy muttering a few nasty words under her breath, but not nearly as many as the return climb up the other side on the way back. Yikes! Maxed out at 11% which would have been way more fun going down!  We enjoyed the evenings with Jan and her friend, Anna, watching the sun set over the ocean from their motel. Lovely!

As usual, we love to hear your comments. They encourage the blog mistress to get at it!

Here are a few photos for you to enjoy
