of course we started this personal challenge right in the middle of the hot season - our mission - to see how long we could go without driving. 32 days now (tho we had a commitment to visit parents in CA last weekend - carpooled with bro and sis).

so it's 118 degrees and i had an afternoon hair appt. i survived. DH is out grocery shopping right now (9 pm) since it's only 101.

Question: we are thinking about a trailer, single wheel, lightweight. can you pull a trailer behind a road bike? the ads say something about being ok for 700c tires with a full fender. we dont got no stinking fenders. right now we just use backpacks for shopping jaunts (i dont like the feel of a trunk on a rack behind me - throws the geometry of the bike way off). nashbar has a trailer 50% off but i think it only carries like 40 lbs. BOB Yak carries 70 lbs but is $300+.

all right, now i'm just babbling. where is DH? i'm hungry.
