Photos from the Bike & Hike

At last, some photographs from Sunday's expedition. One of my friends who really wanted to go with us was in Europe, so in her place I brought along the Jolly Gnome Ornament, turned into an effigy of her.

This looks like a very good time. :)

I like the mpg sign on your trailer! My friend rubin has a sticker that says 53 MPB (53 miles per burrito) on his bike. Maybe you need one of those. ;)

Thanks! I like to rub it in just a little as I'm riding around with my trailer, since I don't have a car to which to apply bumper stickers. Underneath, it says, "Loving the car-free life!" I figure if people realize how much fun it is to ride a bicycle, they'll be more inclined to try it out.

Look at all that green! I haven't been able to get out enough lately and while the hills around Tucson are a nice shade of dusty green I haven't seen nearly enough up close!

looks like a great time!
