Cruise 3

Karen at the free soft serve ice cream bar. The real ice cream cones weren't quite that big (hahaha).

Huge Mexican flag in Ensenada.

Cruise 2

Ross rode to the top of a steep hill outside of Avalon. Here's a panoramic picture he took at the viewing area. He was the only bicycle up there. Everyone else was in rented golf carts, the main form of transportation on the island.

Ross and buffalo outside one of the golf cart rental businesses.

Karen and the buffalo.

This guy turned on the water fountain and the bird drank from it!

Cruise 1

We went on a 4 night cruise in March to celebrate our wedding 31st anniversary. We were on the Sapphire Princess and had this itinerary:

Day 1: Left LA (San Pedro)

Day 2: Catalina Island

Day 3: At sea

Day 4: Ensenada, Mexico

Day 5: Back in LA

Our favorite part was our time in Catalina. We rented bikes and rode around the area of Avalon, the main town on Catalina.

Our cabin. We had a balcony room - nice!

The outdoor theater. They'd show movies here at night. The deck chairs were arranged to see the screen and they handed out blankets (it got chilly at night) and had popcorn, cookies and other snacks available during the movie.

One of the main activities aboard ship.

The Sapphire Princess docked in Ensenada, Mexico.

New Bike

It's been quite a while since we updated the blog! Things were very hectic and confused for several months after Ross's mother died. They've settled down so now we have some time to post here again.

The bicycle fleet has changed yet again. It now consists of the following:

Brompton folding bike (Ross)

Brompton folding bike (Karen)

Bike Friday tandem bike (both)

Bianchi Pista FG/SS (fixed gear/single speed) bike (Ross)

Catrike Trail recumbent trike (Karen)

We also still have a recumbent Karen was using that we're going to sell. She fell off it a couple of times and it really scared her. That's why we got the Catrike recumbent trike. We'll post some pictures down the road.

Since the Catrike and tandem take up most of the room in our shed we had to find somewhere to store the Pista. Here's the solution:

Practical and stylish!
