I was only able to go on the ride because of this device: a crank shortener. I couldn't bend my right knee very far without pain and this shortened the effective crank length from 175 mm to 116 mm. A fourth hole (not seen) would allow a crank as short as 99 mm. My left leg had to do most of the work, but it's a flat ride! |

About a mile north of Lambertville, Norm approaches. |

Bailey on the path. |
 |
Who needs Enno anyway? Seriously, the shutter delay allowed the tandem to move partially out of the picture and captured only Cristina, with Josh in the background. |
 |
We took a break at Bulls Island. Here are Enno, Bailey, and John, and Norm who might be discussing the hill on Federal Twist Road. Norm often leaves the group and rides up this hill and rejoins the group at Bulls Island. This time he took Josh and John with him. They had various degrees of success in making it up the hill! |
 |
We walked out on the bridge connecting Bulls Island, NJ to Lumberville, PA. Here are Bailey, John and Cristina. |

We made it to our turn around spot, Frenchtown. Here are John and Bailey with some coffee from the coffee shop just behind. |

Josh relaxes in Frenchtown where there's also a bicycle shop in case there are problems. |

 |
We had lunch at the Lambertville Station. Cristina, Norm, John, Baily and Josh wait for the table to be ready. |
 |
After 46 miles (7 miles from lunch), we're back at the parking lot where Norm is putting his bike in his car. |
 |
Bailey and John have their bikes loaded. |
 |
Josh is ready to go home. |
