My good friend Erich is back in town. It’s his sister’s birthday and there’s going to be a blowout this weekend. Erich and I met when rode RAGBRAI in 2011 where we found ourselves occupying tents near each other amidst the Pork Belly Ventures camp. Having similar riding styles, out for enjoyment more than for speed (he is faster, I am fatter – faster, fatter, just one letter separates ’em folks), we made good partners in Iowa.
Last year we rode the Oregon coast together as well as getting in rides during his visits to Honolulu. This year we don’t have a ‘big ride’ planned, but he’s visiting a lot and will be coming to RAGBRAI for the first couple of days (actually just one day of riding, but a couple of days of visiting in Omaha and Council Bluffs).
Here he is yesterday when we rode around Diamond Head before taking in a bit of the shoreline in Honolulu.
You may note he rides a Bike Friday. Yep. He liked mine in Iowa and ended up purchasing – well – more than one. 🙂
Here I am looking fat and sassy with mine. 🙂
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
