Comments: In the morning Shelley and did the Tom Wales Memorial 5 k and then in the afternoon we went on a tandem ride with Chance and Amy.

The walk was super cool, you need to wind all around and through Volunteer Park to get in three miles and the route takes you places most people - even park regulars I bet - just don't go. And incredibly who shows up at the start but Mickey Gendler! Mickey is a sponsor of my cycling team who had a terrible accident earlier and is still mostly paralyzed from the neck down. His spirit is amazing and it was so good to see him out there.

Then we met Chance and Amy and put their pedals on our old tandem, aired the tires and after a few practice laps up and down the alley did a loop around Mercer Island on tandems. I was really hoping they would have fun and at first I was not so sure but by the end it seemed to go a LOT better.

It would be so cool to have some regular tandem friends...
Equipment: Co-Motion Robusta
Here are all the pictures from the Tom Wales run including video of Mickey Gendler starting the event.
