The Trip Comes to a Close

Fred and Wayne had another great week cycling, generally eating well, maybe losing a pound or too, getting a little fitter, and leaving another claw mark in the dirt as we get drug fighting and kicking into old age.

We would have cycled the rest of the way from Oceanside, but we were tired and sore and we would get the full day 'on the trip' regardless of whether we were riding or not. Beside, that's why we call the blog 'OLD GUYS on bikes,' not 'healthy young studs on bikes.'

3 things NOT to say to your wife after returning home from a bike trip:

#3 "We found four new kinds of beer just in Santa Barbara."

#2 "There sure are a lot of women bike touring this year."

And the #1 thing not to say to your wife when you get home from a bike trip:

#1 "I think dancing tired my legs more than the bicycling."

Fred and Wayne are planning a China bike trip late spring 2010.

  1. Well done guys! I reckon you should plan to ride from Sydney to Ayers Rock after China. While you are here, climb our bridge and the view from the top is just breathtaking; literally especially after climbing to the top!
    Jodie Foster, Michael Caine and Billy Clinton are just some of the folks that have done it.
    So come on down under and let us throw you a barbeque or two and good old Aussie beer. Flights are cheap these days with United, Delta, Qantas and Virign fighting for bums on seats. And Aussies are into biking and some great routes/scenery too.
    Cheers
