We are planning a greener vacation this summer, in recognition of the harm done by unlimited oil consumption, but also for the pure adventure of two 60-somethings setting out to bike a thousand miles -- from our front door to Wisconsin, joining up with the SAGBRAW group ride there, then riding to the Hostel Shoppe Recumbent Rally and home again.
We signed up for the events, reserved rooms in hotels along the way, and uploaded maps of the routes to our GPS. The next step was to get our Greenspeed Anura trikes set up so that either one could serve as the lead trike or the one pulling the trailer. We added a Weber hitch to the fork-grabber at the back of each trike.
In past years we rode a Hase Kettwiesel and an Anura linked together, but that required two sets of spare tires and tubes. Not fun when you are looking for the right one in the rain.
We're also exploring how to post to this blog from a mobile device, but getting photos to upload is proving challenging.

Hello Mary and Dale,
I found your blog and enjoyed going through it regarding SAGBRAW 2010.
Here's a link to the Flicker album I made of ten-year old Calvin and his Grandpa John's SAGBRAW tour.
There's a few photos of you too!
