Everyone here immediately started asking when I was going to get a cross bike. Gravel rides were popping up. And that ever present threat of winter {even in the ridiculous heat and humidity of summer} left me wondering how I was going to ride once the elements strike. My road bike, tri bike, and track bikes will have a much longer forced off season than they've been used to. 

Gravel riding. At night. On a tandem? Yep.

So we've landed. And have mostly settled in. Just a couple pictures to hang and some odds and ends to get organized, but I'd say we are official Midwesterners now!
