    Hello TE

    It's been awhile since I 've been here..or on my bike...
    Irony #1 As soon as I finally got a pro bike Fit...i stopped riding...
    why?
    anytime I had time to get out I felt like I had to exercise the dogs...
    and so my Aurora languished...I walked.
    Irony #2
    As soon as we built a "stable" for the bikes and got them out of the house....out of sight...out of....

    But today I hauled her out...wiped her off with Pledge, pumped the tires and rode a little...and so thought of all of you...;-)

    Just sayin.

    By the way, if you don't want that beautiful Brooks on your Aurora, my Aurora will gladly take it off your hands

    Here is a photo of me doing what I do off the bike..most of the crew is here....one papillon off screen... my sheltie is now a Champion and they're all working on performance titles...so the sacrifice is never for naught....

    yes, but mine is black. I want to move the black one to another bike and get a brown one for Miss Aurora who, I must admit, has also been a bit neglected of late. We're still in love, though!

    Your photo looks like some kind of canine religious ceremony

    I had just the same problem - I wanted & needed to spend more time with my dog. Sometimes I loaded my bike into the car & took my dog round the park using my bike. Problem was, it wasn't giving me much exercise as I could go so much faster/further than she could. So I have just bought a trailer for my dog. I figured I would ride to the park towing her - lock the trailer up & then cycle round the park w/ her. Then ride home. That way I would get some exercise & it would be cool to ride around London with Fettle in the trailer. So far we have only gone out once (& w/ the top closed). But as she & I get used to it I hope it will be pretty successful.

    You can also get a roof rack for the trailer, so if I want to go cycle-camping I can take her. The wheels pop off the trailer to make a crate/tent - so it shouldn't be too hard . . . She also has a backpack so she can carry her own water when we are hiking. The person in the shop thought I had trained her to drink from a Camelbak lol - thought I might put a tube on the backpack & tell people that's what she drinks from when she is thirsty . . .

    I was just looking at those little trailers....but I could only fit either the 2 papillons or one sheltie in..!!!!

    Yesterday I rode 8 miles and that evening walked the dogs 1.5....so it can all be done in one day!!
