Goin bike camping

Trinity bicycles is hosting a cyclotouring campout tonight at benbrook lake! We all rode out from the shop at three. We will see when we get there...going is easy and slow with the whole family.

On my way to Church.

The beauty of the morning and the peace God gives plays a duet with a bicycle.

Time For the Yearly Pilgrimage

Every year we make a big list of stuff to get  from Ikea and make the drive over to Frisco to load up our truck with stuff.
   Today is that pilgrimage.....Wish us luck!

What does a Full Buggy of Groceries look like on a Bicycle!

 In preparation for the consolidated guy birthday party (Me and both my sons birthdays are within ten days of one another) my wife went to our local "stuff-mart" store and loaded up the Ute with a full buggy of stuff. When she was there, she called me and said that she may have bought too much "stuff" and may need me to rescue her with the cargo trailer. She, however, found my bungee cords and lassoed things down on to the top. I believe she could have carried more using the old "shopping bags on the handlebars trick" but I don't know if she knows that one. As you can see from the pictures the Ute bags are pretty full. The bike has room for more stuff if I got a front rack and a big folding crate for the deck. But that might be a little too much weight!

4 Bikes, 5 Burgers ?

Somebody is getting a free ride!

Hauling Granite with a Bicycle.

We needed to go to home depot to get some decomposed granite for our garden pathways!

I built the "little trailer" out of our old kid carrying trailer by stripping it down and building a deck out of strips of plywood.






This was 200lbs on the "little trailer". It handled it great. The garden turned out very pretty!
