that last comment sounds much more harsh than I meant it. What I meant to say was, we like the work you’re doing, do more of it please.

Fatty, it might be tough to continue to garner readership as well as blog awards if you don’t post more than once or twice a week. I know you don’t write for me, but I’m sure others are also losing interest in your previously well written blog. Honeymoon’s over, time to get back to work.

Leave a little slack in that belt Kenny! The gates belts should not break. They are the same belts that are used on car engine for over 60,000 miles. The most likely reason this happens is people like the belt on the bike to look super tight. When the belt heats up and actually shorten a bit, and without a tensioner in play; snap. So leave a little slop in the belt next time and this will never happen again.

That belt/tube tow system looks like fun, and now he can say that his tandem bike is the most bad ass one on the planet.

Also I just had a crazy idea when I was on a different site dealing with rc cars. Anyways a rear derailleur would come in handy as a luxury can opener when out on the trail (and of course it would be the center piece at the dining table).

(on a side note, I finally stopped laughing enough to post something (I have gone back and read just about all of your old blog posts after discovering the site about 2ish 3ish months ago)). ^_^

Probably obvious, but an improvement to the plan would have been for you to leave a marker (three rocks stacked?) at Meeting Place 1.

Exciting start for your new bike. Wonder what will happen the third time you take it out :)

I live in the wrong place. Our local state park has a 10 mile loop but pales in comparison. We do have heat; that we have plenty of and humidity, too. So, scoreboard!
