Late start this season. So much snow in April.
There was a lot of catching up to do.
Bike tour this summer started near Pittsburgh
and finished in London, Ontario.
Read the 2013 Opposites Attract Tour for details.
The weather during the summer improved around here and
I managed to barely make it to 4000 miles.
