Today my Dad, myself and a few of the bike club, attended the 2nd annual Partridge Pedal Party in the small town of Partridge, KS. My Pirate bike even won an award. My first!
More on the event here.

Here's a video from our vacation in California. This was taken while riding along Mission Beach and the San Diego River.

We've been all over the US and even Canada riding rails-to-trails but had still not ridden the one in our own back yard the Prairie Sunset Trail. The trail is still not finished but we decided to ride what segments we could that were open.
We started in Garden Plain. To get to the trail head we exited hi-way 54 to Garden Plain and parked at the Garden Plain Park which is just North of where the trail begins. We rode East for 1 mile and then back. For the first few hundred feet the trail runs alongside the old railroad tracks that are still in place.
Next we hauled the bikes to Goddard where there is a nice trail head/park in the middle of town. Just drive down Main street and it's easy to find. We rode 1 mile West out of Goddard and back, then 2 miles East and back. So total we rode about 8 miles and this appeared to be all that was open.
The trail surface is a nice fine crushed rock that could probably even be ridden on a skinny tired bike. In Goddard the trail is paved. After the ride we ate at Gerrard's on hiway 54 in Goddard.

Picked up these old bike ads and postcard while on vacation in California. Card was given to us for our wedding anniversary.

Today we attended our 2nd Tour De Fat. This one in Tempe Arizona. The Tour De Fat is a bicycle parade/party/revival put on by the New Belgium Brewery. This is such a fun event!

Couldn't decide what to ride on tonight's Pub Pedal so in the few minutes I had between getting home from work and leaving for the ride I decided to drag the "Ugliest Bike" frame down from the attic and build it up.

Edit: This bike later became the Bike Of Frankenstein.
