Do they have the right idea or what. Turns out it isn’t just adults in Copenhagen that ride cargo bikes.

Kids and bikes… they just go together.
Adorable!
Next weekend we’re riding the Tulsa Tough Gran Fondo – the Medio Fondo (100k) Saturday and the “slightly milder†50 km Piccolo Fondo II on Sunday.
I’ve ridden 123 miles this week including two 40 mile rides and will now ease off to be ready for Saturday – hope it’s enough.
Any Tulsa Tough-ers out there?
Sounds like it is quite the event, 3 days of racing including some pro teams, the tour rides on Saturday and Sunday and a townie ride on Sunday. I’ve read it’s a festival atmosphere with music, food and drink – sounds fun!
Every time I start to think I’m physically ready for the two day ride, I remember their motto:
“They don’t call it the Tulsa Tough for nothing.â€
Oh boy…
Kansas Cyclist posted recently on their FB page about an area of Kansas that sounds like nice bicycling.
KC noted, "…there are already thousands of miles of gravel roads throughout the Flint Hills (and over 100,000 miles across the state) that are perfect for bicycling — remote, scenic, and almost no traffic. Get out and explore!"
From the Flint Hills Nature Trail website:
The Flint Hills Nature Trail is a 117 mile rail-trail in northeast Kansas. It crosses 7 counties along its east-west course. As the name implies, it crosses the beautiful Flint Hills. This area is one of the last remaining tallgrass prairie ecosystems in the world. It is home to abundant prairie wildlife species, spectacular views, national historic sites, recreational areas, and good home folks. It is also recognized as a region of cultural importance.
When I asked for more information he provided the following links, looks like a beautiful and remote place to visit by bike – check it out:

Three days – three rides. Nothing intense or long just commute type rides and a ride around the neighborhood on my touring bike Condor, named after one of my heroes – Anne Mustoe’s bike.
My position on Condor needed tweaking, I felt too stretched out. The frame is a little large for me, the smaller size down was too small – the Goldilocks syndrome. Unfortunately the “just right†is probably a custom frame which I might actually spring for in the not-too-distant future. I do love this bike though, she’s steel and pretty and a nice bike. I just wish she was a little shorter in her top tube.
