Were there nipples? And what does that even mean? LDS partying is like going to a keger and finding out it's rootbeer. Is it good, sure, could it be better, well they do make real beer. I'm sorry that's not an apt analogy because you can't get real beer.

Um, Dean can delete these if they're totally inappropriate. The cake was anatomically correct, down to the little man in the boat. And I had one beer, from out of state, with actual alcohol content.

I see pubic hair is in for the Mormons. No lightning bolt? No landing strip?

We ride a tandem

Got it just under a year ago... we have just over 5,000 miles on it now.

Just finished riding from Seattle Washington to San Diego, California -- 1,649 miles in 34 days.

You can read about it here: crazyguyonabike.com: Bicycle Touring: Pacific Coast -- Seattle to San Diego, by Mike Miller

great trip

Nice cake...

I have done a tandem, it's just like riding a regular bike-as I am the stoker I assume it is the same! It is hard going up very steep hills. Kicks your butt just like a solo bike can. My captain is a very muscular guy, so if it is hard for him, you just know it is a killer hill. Those not fun at all.

Have done two double century rides on it, it is great as I can take pictures from the back!

Now that's not soooo bad. It's not like she stopped peddaling! Oh-and I was 'supposed' to be taking pictures-was for the charity ride. ( I just had to warn him that I was getting out the camera, so he was prepared to deal with my wiggling a bit)

I've rode one. It's harder than you think. There's a lot more balance to it.
