Team Sundae is our family's nickname when riding our
Cannondale
tandem, "Big Blue".
June provided the nickname due to our fondness for ice cream
stops. You can find a photo of
Mark
and Brian preparing to ride Big Blue. Brian now has a custom
handlebar on the tandem that makes life easier for him. A photo of
the handlebar is available for your viewing
now; an article describing its construction and the parts list is
forthcoming.
We often ride with the PPTC
(Potomac Pedalers Touring Club) or the
WABITS (Washington Area
Bicyclists in Tandem Society) and are frequent contributors to the
tandem@
hobbes internet mailing list.
On most weekends from April through July, we are training with "at
risk" high school kids in the
CAM Teen Challenge
program, a community service program in conjunction with the
Cycle Across Maryland Tour.
Mark is a coral reef
ecologist, June has her hands full with
Brian.
We used to live in warm, sunny Miami when Mark was working on his
Ph.D. at the University of Miami -
RSMAS. We are now in
Maryland where Mark works for NOAA
Office of Global Programs coordinating research programs in
paleoclimatology
and climate
dynamics and experimental prediction. One of Mark's latest
efforts has been to manage the NOAA Office of Global Program's
El Niño Web Page.
We are also both Ham (Amateur Radio) operators, members of the
Montgomery County
Amateur Radio Club and
Montgomery County RACES
(Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service).
Our Christian faith is important to us, and are becoming involved
in activities at our new church, Trinity United Methodist Church in
Germantown, MD.

A new role for us is as parents and coaches in kids'
soccer, scouting, etc. Then, of course, there are the dogs.
7+ year old Maggie now has Dingo as a playmate. Dingo is a
lab-german shepherd cross, and at 7 months old they weighed
the same. Dingo is now around 70 pounds of trouble!
