Feelin' Groovy

Saturday morning I decided to drive out to Paul's Cycling & Fitness in Winston Salem to look at the Schwinn Stingray reissues. I figured that the trip was going to be at least an hour and a half in each direction but they were the nearest Schwinn dealership to Durham that carried the reissued Stingrays. To make a long story short, here is the result of that trip.

We really could use a flowered basket on the handlebar here

Clay and I spent a good part of the day on both Saturday and Sunday riding around the local elementary school parking lot and grounds. Me on the Schwinn Stingray and him on his Trek Jet bike. I got to teach him how to jump his bike off a curb and lots of other good stuff. This has brought up so many thoughts over the past few days about being a father and childhood and Quaker values like simplicity and these thoughts are really all over the place right now. Hopefully at some point soon I'll be able to sort things out and write them down here...

Until then, here is a short Quicktime movie (528 k) of us going down "the curve hill".
