On the road again

It’s a small one, but it is our first trip in the new tour mobile

Weird to have a minivan but it’s the only vehicle that can transport a 7 foot tandem bicycle inside and we’ve actually found it to be pretty useful for other things like ferrying angry political activists around, doing our own dump runs, and the occasional furniture pickup.

Tom rigged up a very nice fork mount for Pearl in the car and that has made it easy to load her in and keeps her nice and stable for the ride

First stop on this trip is Geneva NY for dinner at the Ports Cafe, a gem of a restaurant that we discovered several years ago on an upstate NY trip. We’ll stay around there tonight and then head for Dunkirk and the start of the tour tomorrow.
