The number one plan is just to have fun, with as little planning as possible! Enjoying the back roads of Vt right now and getting in shape to tackle a few mountain passes. We had planned to take the Bilenky Tandem to England for a tour of the Cotswald, but the Olympics made England sound crowded and an early Spring trip to Switzerland thinned out the budget. We're still thinking of the car free trails in Minnesota. Granddaughter due in El Cerrito on Oct 6th. May bring a bike with me to Ca. in early Nov.
