Vicarious Pedal
Two friends of mine, Jon & Jeff, ex co-workers, fellow cycle fiends, GIS experts, are riding their new Surly Long Haul Truckers through the mountains and desert lands of West Texas this week.
They plan to begin their journey in Alpine and wind their way through the country that leads to Balmoreah, then back to Alpine with alternate routes in mind.
The Long Haul Trucker is a great looking bicycle.I am sure Jon & Jeff are going to have a great time. I will be living vicariously through their trip, hopefully I will get some updates as they go. It just so happens, Marcy, me and the kids are going to Fort Davis this weekend to try to see another Star Party at the McDonald Observatory. The last time we went it was too cloudy to see stars outside, so they gave us an inside show with slides. Saturday afternoon starts the new moon phase, if there are no clouds the night should be pitch dark with stars shining so brightly it seems you can reach up and touch them. Fingers crossed.
All that writing in the middle of Jeff's skewer modification program. Pretty cool.
Thanks Hillary
