Re: [Foothill Cycle Club: 1872] N+1

I had 5 bikes at one time and little by little I gave them away. I now only have a Old metal framed Touring bike with modifies handle bars, and a Tandum bike that I bought so my wife and I could ride. She got on it one time and never wanted to ride on it again. So I waited for my daughter to be old enough to ride with me and she was a great riding partner. Now I have to wait for Grandchildren to ride with. 😫 Sent from my iPhone On Oct 22, 2023, at 6:19 PM, Barbara Williams <barbikins@cruzers.net> wrote:  A lovely little film , thanks Brian.  B Sent from my iPad On Oct 21, 2023, at 8:58 PM, Brian Cox <brian@coxintl.com> wrote:  For those of you that know what the formula N+1 means, you may find the following video inspiring. https://youtu.be/ERJ-cf_ecO4?si=oZvTVoSHPAaPQXa8 Just get out there and ride.

I thought I would share this as one of our members brought him to my attention years ago.  Hope you enjoy.   Marty Today's ride was along the beach bike path taking us to Redondo Beach Pier. It was a beautiful day cloudy but warm . On the way back I saw a gentleman riding who I had seen over the past 5 years along a few different paths in far away communities. It was unique as I ride these paths a couple times a month and though they. were different I would see him. We were always going in opposite directions at a decent clip so there was never an interaction. Today's ride was different our paths crossed at a bottle neck where we both were walking. I used this as an opportunity to stop and talk with him. His name is John and he rides 6 days a week. He. rides with sandals on a hybrid style bike. From what I gathered John's daily ride could be 60 plus miles. John's age is 83. It is great to meet people who are...
