Thursday we participated in the 9th annual Tandem Night at the Thursday Night Pub Pedal. Not a huge showing of tandems (I believe I counted 12) but still a great time.

We also checked out some of the city’s new bicycling infrastructure.

After several years work has resumed again on the Redbud Trail a rail-to-trail. We noticed some new paved sections and the retrofitting of the the old railroad bridge.
