Bikeist on Vacation

In case you were wondering (how could you not be?), the Bikeist has been absent due to a spontaneous mini-vacation to capture the last bit of summer break before the little bikeists head back to school -- camping on Catalina Island.

Long-suffering wife to Bikeist as we set out:  "You're not planning on renting a Mountain Bike and disappearing on this trip are you?"

Bikeist:  "Umm, err, no -- hadn't even considered it . . . "

Images flashing through the Bikeist's brain as he stammered out his response :

Oh well -- I love my family even more than my bikes (so that's a lot!) -- probably good to vacate the bike along with everything else for a few days --
