Sometimes your blog thoughts end up in the local paper.

A big thanks to Matt Gleason for the excellent article in the Tulsa World today. We chatted with Matt last week and had a fun time talking about our adventures last month. He was a nice guy.

We took pictures with a Tulsa World photographer a few days ago at Centennial Park, one of our favorite places to ride past. It was cold, of course, as it has been for the past 45 days. (Why was I expecting anything different?) We basically rode back and forth on our bikes a few times while he snapped some pictures.

Contrary to what the picture displays, we do actually enjoy riding our bikes. Nathan doesn't usually look that serious in real life. He forgot to smile.
