| I'm reworking the Pink Elephant for summer touring. More on this later. |

| Maddie just keeps growing fast. We did a one-night overnighter this year. We plan on doing at least a two-nighter this summer. Maybe a couple two-nighters if we can figure out a good route. Then next summer I think we'll be ready for a week tour -- perhaps we'll go up Whidbey, then Orcas or Lopez. In any case, I see a LHT in Maddie's future. |

| Maddie and I just got back from a week of tooling around the OR and WA coast and hanging with family in Seattle. More here on that. The beaches make me ponder a fat bike adventure. A guy could go for miles on these beaches during mid-low tide. |

| From L-R, that's Maddie, my sister Betsy, and her kid, Livvy. Riding around Seattle is pretty righteous. Even with the kids. |

I've never understood drop bars with backsweep on the flats. Can you explain it to me? The ergononomics seems strange.
I think the backsweeps are traditionally meant for resting your palms. sometimes the bars rise up there too, but these (nitto noodles) don't... when these bars fail/bend more than i'm comfortable with i'll probably replace them with the ritchey wcs logic curve, which is a bar i have on one of my bikes that i've really come to like. they don't have the same backsweep, nor do they have a rise at the backsweep -- but the flat ramps, which both bars have, are key. the ritcheys also have a bit more shallow bend/drop, which I also prefer.
