50 more miles on the tandem. Saturday we rode 36 in Oconee County - from Oakway to Richland to West Union, in to Walhalla and over to Westminster. Did the short route on Sunday - only a 15 mile loop from Richland in to Walhalla and back. Alan put in 24 on Levi (his favorite? but not newest mtn bike) on Monday at DuPont with Andy and Tim.
On this Memorial Day, a moment to remember my Aunt Nell who passed away Friday night at age 91. A remarkable woman. As the pastor said at her memorial service today, "Nellie Welborn out-classed them all." And a moment of thanks for those who are serving and have served and to their families who sacrificed so I could live free. God bless America!

GTR 2007
We are in LaGrange, Georgia, for one of my favorite events of the year. The Georgia Tandem Rally is always a well-planned and well-attended weekend. And this year the weather is even cooperating. It has been Beautiful here!
We arrived late Thursday night and made the 9a.m. ride Friday. 43.5 miles included a self-guided tour of Callaway Gardens - the vegetable garden and the butterfly house. After a delicious late lunch in Pine Mtn we went back to visit the fly fishing shop, the Discovery Center, the Horticulture Center and the butterflys again. Ice cream social on the square Friday evening helped us connect with friends old and new who ride tandem.
Today we slept in (this IS our vacation) and made the late/remote start ride at 10. Enjoyed a fabulous lunch at a state park as we "looped the Lake" into Alabama and back. Only 33.5 miles today. Napping now in prep for a fabulous dinner (as always) at Butts Mill Farm tonight. Then 26 miles in the morning before we hit the road for home. Makes for a great weekend!
