Squeakin' up the Summit (the Sequel)

Today we decided to repeat the Grandview Mountain climb. So we headed South this morning and let's just say we were a lot speedier than last time. Part of that has to do with my new bike, and the other part is due to our cycling calves. The ride is about 27 miles for those of you that forgot, and as recommended by numerous advisors, we followed the ride-pie strategy. Actually, breakfast, then strawberry-rhubarb pie at TJs.

A bit more on this breakfast spot, according to the Pitch:
"At T.J.’s, the crowd ranges from grizzly tattooed truck drivers in tank tops to well-heeled businessmen in Brooks Brothers suits. "

Seriously, well-heeled businesmen in Brooks Brothers suits? When did that reporter go?

Weekly total = 74.5 mi
Next week's goal = 80

Dear Duck Dales,
I heartily endorse the strawberry rhubarb application of the ride/pie strategy. Nice work on Grandview Mountain 2!

However, I am curious about cycling calves. Is this a Cowtown thing? Do they have hoof clips on their pedals? Do the calves' mothers ride as well? Do they carry milk in their "water" bottles? Do you have traffic problems riding with livestock?

What do Boji and Peterman think about you riding with other animals?

We applaud the diversity represented in the Duck Dales team!

I prefer Smothers Brothers suits.
