My girlfriend Caitlin drove down to Bristol from Rochester for the weekend to visit. The weather was nice so we decided to go for a cruise. She especially likes riding the Silver Bullet, my first bicycle, what I learned to ride on:

I was riding my Father’s first bicycle, what he learned to ride on, which I just finished refurbishing last week:

Me on my Dad’s ‘57 Schwinn

We cruised up the street to the schoolyard, quiet on a Saturday afternoon:

We went down the path from the schoolyard through the woods to a bridge over a creek:

My first bike with my Dad’s first bike. Like Father, like Son.

I went back up the path on the silver bullet and raced back down, to see how long of a skid mark I could leave on the bridge:
skiiiiid maaaaark!

It was the perfect time of day for cruising:

At the playground I practiced some of my zipline spy moves:

Getting late, heading home:

The next day we went cruising again because it was even warmer and Cakeland wanted to ride the SpaceLiner across America:

And I wanted to ride the Silver Bullet down a big hill:

I miss Rochester and all my friends and loved ones there, but as long as ROC keeps visiting me and I keep visiting ROC (like this upcoming weekend), I will keep it in my heart. And it’s always more fun to cruise with a buddy, so bring a friend or two, or seven :)

See y’all real soon. Till then, keep flyin’ the friendly skies

Keep flyin'
