Sorry for the delay in updates to the site. With hurricane Ike hitting Houston upon my arrival and not having power it's slowed updates. I have a generator running and broadband is back up so I'll update the blog this week with some great content and photos. Off to clear the tree limbs out of the back yard now. Look for more on the Best Buddies Hearst Castle ride this weekend. I might even throw in some hurricane photos taken from my bike. They're becoming more fashionable in the neighborhoods with the power off and gas stations closed.
