Friends…. for some 15 years, Roland, Dale, and I rode bicycles together.  In our home city near Dallas, around the state, and nationally on a variety of weekly rides.  Multiple Pedal the Peaks, Grand Canyon to Mexico, and more allowed us to rack up some miles, an estimated 70,000 miles, give or take a bunch.  Some people called us the 3 amigos as we rode so much together. We’ve had some great times (and some severe mountain challenges!).  Several years ago we moved and our riding together reduced to when we happened to be in the same area.  Today was one of those days.

The Three Musketeers, ready to ride

We had a great time, although our stamina and speed it not QUITE what it used to be….

And here we are on Snowy Mountains in 2001
