Thought you'd enjoy seeing the bikers who visited the B&B last night.
(For some reason, I'm having trouble with my attachments.)
Anyway, 4 couples came by way of our rail-trail, which is about 4 miles away from the B&B and accessible only by 4 lane roads. They drove in their cars to the southern terminus of the trail, arranged to park the cars at a country school for 4 days, and rode the bikes 24 miles to get here. The plan is for them to ride 40 miles today and 40 miles tomorrow and loop back to the cars on Sunday.
They take excursions like this every summer (West Virginia is on their radar next summer) and always stay in B&B's. The scene this morning was replete with lots of my friends honking and waving as they drove by while the crew was assembling their packs and getting organized.
I hadn't seen the new tandem bikes (I guess I've had other things on my mind). I guess it makes it much easier to go those longer distances. All of the couples have grandchildren. I expected them to be sweaty, tired and thirsty, but they were in great shape for having fun all evening. They sent a couple of the guys out to buy wine (riding their bikes, of course) and proceeded to have happy hour followed by delivery pizza and Trivial Pursuit. Amazing!
Now to write the blog (by the way, they had not heard of the Kick G as campaign)
