I've been writing about the LHT since it's first ride back in March.Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014737.post-54241289720471625742008-08-06T19:13:00.000-05:002008-08-06T19:13:00.000-05:00Ah wooden boats and bikes.... can it get better? You may have done it already. But could do a little write about the long haul trucker. I am interested in that bike and talked to a salesman today about it for commuting purposes (I am infatuated with my Fuji- bit realize its infatuation). Kind of like my first girlfriend... fun, intreging, inspiring even.... but I'm not readyto get married.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13940604655376353136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014737.post-86380360902991926842008-08-04T11:46:00.000-05:002008-08-04T11:46:00.000-05:00Beautiful photos -- looks like a great ride. <BR/><BR/>I bit the bullet and got a Long Haul Trucker, in part inspired by yours. I can't wait to get to do a proper ride!Apertomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014737.post-55484529184829231352008-08-04T11:37:00.000-05:002008-08-04T11:37:00.000-05:00I find it difficult to ride directly to work on days like that. <BR/><BR/>There have been occasions where I have decided I needed a mental health day and chose to ride my bike instead of going to work. I think my co-workers can tell when I have done this because afterwards the mental sunshine seems to show.Bobhttp://www.dailycyclist.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014737.post-19575319442141326692008-08-04T08:17:00.000-05:002008-08-04T08:17:00.000-05:00Glad you got those pics of the tall ships. I was out of town, but if I had gone, the bike was the only way to get there with all the traffic. It was crazy just getting out of town!Bozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08287680290391700918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014737.post-52511806747981912592008-08-02T10:06:00.000-05:002008-08-02T10:06:00.000-05:00I wish I had known Ketchup and Mustard were passing through. I wasn't following their trip report, but I was aware of them from Vik mentioning them. I didn't realize their route would take them through Duluth. Interesting they found Duluth roads so bad. Confirms what I already knew.Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014737.post-80230982716542388502008-08-02T07:18:00.000-05:002008-08-02T07:18:00.000-05:00Hey Doug,<BR/><BR/>I've been reading The Adventures of Ketchup and Mustard (crazyguyonabike.com) and they passed through Duluth recently, staying at Bob and Ani's. I didn't know if you know them. Sounded like good MN hospitality.Tex69http://www.blogger.com/profile/16733840950451530910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014737.post-25147446471782196882008-08-02T02:06:00.000-05:002008-08-02T02:06:00.000-05:00Hey Doug, sure did look like a great day for riding. I'm glad you had a great day. It's nice to get one of those days when your riding just goes right for you. I really like that picture of the LHT on the bridge. Nicely done.
