Saturday June 8, 2013</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today we rode the Strawberry Festival Bicycle Tour. We modified their route to include Young's Jersey Dairy for lunch and ice cream. We had the pleasure of being joined by Brian and Don again.<br />
<br />
We rode 70 miles today. This was my LONGEST EVER bike or trike ride.<br />
This was Todd's longest ride on a trike.<br />
This was our longest ride on the Tandem Relaxing Bike.<br />

Last year's Hot Tamale Bicycle Tour is what inspired me to start this blog. After having two flats and one chain derailment, I started blogging about my Flat Tire Adventures. Fast forward one year and we have the 30th Annual Hot Tamale Bicycle Tour and I'm still at it. I'm still riding and still blogging, but with less flats and more adventures.</div>

This time we were joined by two friends, Don and Brian. We chose the 62 mile option, but it really ended up being about 58 miles. Brian was out in front on the way back, and I think he took a short-cut.</div>

We passed many Amish Buggies along the roadways and even an Amish Farmer plowing his field. I refrained from photographing them out of respect. We were almost trampled by a couple of oncoming Amish horses along the route. Apparently they have never seen trikes before and got a little upset. Good thing the drivers were able to control them and save our lives! </div>

Luckily we were safe from the bears. It appears they were tied to the trees and couldn't attack us after all. However, we were chased by a couple of dogs and almost trampled by those horses. Oh and I forgot to mention the peacocks. I never did see them, but I heard them screaming. </div>

One of my Jr. High School friends, Linda, was going to Kentucky for Memorial Day Weekend and she found this cycling adventure. We haven't seen each other in about 30 years, but we stay connected via Facebook. We share cycling adventures online and we thought it would be fun to meet up in person for The Horsey Hundred!</div>

We only had one mishap today. We lost a flag going down a big hill near the end of our ride.<br />
Good thing it was at the bottom of the hill so it was easy to get.<br />
Of course, I didn't get a picture.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Everybody! On Saturday 3/30/13, we went up to Dublin, OH to ride with our friend Don. Don is responsible for us converting to recumbent trikes - he told us about Peddlers where we bought our first trikes. He's been to the trike shops several times with us and has test driven several models, but has remained faithful to his traditional bicycle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well... we were in for a big surprise. After receiving the Grand Tour of his huge home, he took us into his second garage where he keeps his..... trike! He finally caved-in and bought a trike! How awesome is that? Todd helped him make some boom and chain adjustments and even CraftyRia (me) stepped in with some helpful advice. </div>

Hello! Today was a beautiful Spring day here in Ohio with temps in the 50s, so it was a perfect day to take the Tandem Relaxing Bike out for a spin. We started at the park in downtown Chillicothe and rode past Hopewell. It was a total of 19 miles. We would have ridden longer, but the windchill was pretty cold. </div>

Well, here we are on Day 2 of our Tandem Relaxing Bike ride. We rode along the Tri-County Triangle Trail again and this time I brought my camera-around-my-neck, so I could take pictures as we ride. This is easier on the tandem because I don't have to steer, brake, or shift. </div>

This is my view if I lean to the left a little bit. This is one of the RR bridges on the trail. In the summer, these bridges are HOT, but today that wasn't a problem at all.</div>

Saturday March 9, 2012</h2>
We're off on a new adventure! We love our trikes so much, that we decided to purchase a tandem trike the Terra Trike's Tandem Pro. We ordered it last month from the fine folks at <a href="http://www.fairfieldcyclery.com/" target="_blank">Fairfield Cyclery</a> and it got here just in time for a beautiful Spring-like weekend! Hopefully, I won't cause us to have too many flats....<br />

Here it is.... ready to roll! Todd is the captain and I am the stoker. Todd rides up front with the two tires, and I'm in the back with only one tire. We figured it was safer that way.</div>

We rode about 25 miles our first ride. It was great fun!</div>

A lady on the trail saw us and called the trike "A Tandem Relaxing Bike." So that's what it shall be called.</div>

It's too cold in Ohio to ride outside, so we brought our trikes in to ride in the living room (with rollers for the back wheel). Of course that doesn't mean I'm Flat Free. My trike managed to get one flat (back tire) just sitting in the living room, minding its own business. It sure made a lot of noise, it was quite an explosion.</div>

We had to go around many barriers. On bikes it's easy to go around, but on trikes?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily we fit under the barriers easily.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also had to ride on a closed road through a construction site. We had to carry our trikes passed the big machinery in the road. Luckily there was a port-a-potty at that site because I really needed it.</div>

Today was the COOKIE ride! It's the fundraising ride for the Tri County Triangle Trail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We rode 51 miles... My first half-century.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was a barn star counting contest and we won! Todd and I counted 39 stars along the route and there were actually 41, but we came the closest. I will get free admission next year.</div>

Todd and I decided to embark on our first overnight trike adventure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We rode from home (Chillicothe, OH) to Portsmouth, OH.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's about a 45 mile ride - one way.</div>

It was tricky getting our trikes in the very small elevator, but with much creativity, we were able to do it, one at a time.</div>

This was my tire after we got home. At one point, Todd rear-ended me and his chainring slashed my tire. It didn't cause a flat, but he ordered me a new tire for next time.</div>

Saturday, we rode 30 miles in the <a href="http://www.fmcpt.com/09-StrawberryFestival/2012-RibTickler.html" target="_blank">Rib Tickler Ride in London, Ohio</a>. It was a great organized ride and lots of fun. It was brought to us by The Friends of Madison County Parks and Trails. It started and ended at the London Rib and Jazz Festival. </div>

The ride ended at the London Rib and Jazz Festival. Todd had some deep fried sauerkraut and I had a rib sampler. For dessert, we visited a local ice cream shop. It was really hot, so the ice cream was very refreshing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A couple of weeks ago, we went to <a href="http://www.peddlersstore.com/" target="_blank">Peddlers Trike Shop</a> in Heath, Ohio and Todd got a recumbent trike. Peddlers is really neat and they have an indoor track where you can ride the trikes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must admit, I was pretty jealous of Todd's cool trike. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, today we went back to Peddlers and I bought a trike, too.</div>

Today we rode to Yocktangee Park and then to Subway for dinner. It was about a 17 mile round trip. I will also mention that it's the first time I've ever used clipless pedals. I'm a klutz and probably would fall off a traditional bike if I used them, but the trike made it easy. We rode slow, about 7.5 mph average, but it is quite hilly around here. The trike is great on the hills because I can go slow or stop for a rest if I need to. The weather was beautiful this evening, and we had a great ride.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Funny thing is that on the recumbent trike, you're dog level. A couple of loose dogs ran out to greet us. On our way home, a bunch of deer crossed the road in front of us and that was quite cool. All I could do was shout, "Wow wow wow wow wow!" Just when I got done being excited about the first group of deer, a second group ran out in front of us. I shouted the same thing again. It was so cool.</div>

Saturday, July 21, we made up our own ride along the Tri-County Triangle Trail. We rode from Frankfort to Washington Court House. It's about 40 miles round trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't feeling so well, so I really whined a lot and had to take many breaks. It was a beautiful day with mild temperatures and low humidity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We stopped for lunch at Ranchers, which is a home-town version of Arby's. They have delicious food. Shhh... Don't tell Oscar.</div>

Saturday, July 14, we rode the Liberty to London Bicycle Tour. Don Smith joined us and we had a grand time. It started out rainy, and I whined a lot, but we made it through. Don and I enjoyed singing "Everybody Talks." If you know Don Smith, you would say that was his theme song.</div>

Todd bought a new bike, too. </div>

On Saturday, July 7, we went to Peddlers in Heath, Ohio. They specialize in Recumbent Trikes and have an indoor track for test drives. I loved the trikes and if I hadn't just bought a new bike, I probably would have bought a trike.</div>
