Happy Birthday Hal!

Today is my brother Hal’s birthday. Let’s see…He must be 48 now. Wow, almost middle aged! Happy birthday bro’! And congratulations for making it this far! I hope your day is a great day.

The picture here is of Hal from our adventure last summer on the Oklahoma Freewheel. Rumor is that he and Dad are going to ride the OKFree again next year. It was a lot of fun, though challenging at times. I hope they stick with their plan. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and will probably try to join them for at least part of the ride. Maybe all of it if the timing works.

I’m sure Dad and Hal have been putting miles in to get ready for their ride. For me, I haven’t been on Eddy too much lately. I bought some new pedals and haven’t gotten them adjusted quite right, so I’ve been avoiding him. Time to fix that and start putting some time back in on that Brooks saddle again. OKFree will be much more enjoyable that way, and hey, it’s even kind of fun to ride around here too…

Oh yeah, and Lori is going to be getting serious w/ her new Guru soon, as she cranks up for Ironman Utah. Yeah, better get on Eddy or I’ll be in pain for the next six months just trying to keep up with her! Gotta go… But first, one last “Happy Birthday Hal!”

Eddy! Eddy! Where are you?! We’re going riding…
