I, too, was impressed by the guys on the handbikes. Did you see the guy riding one barefoot with toe-puppets on his feet?

I'm sorry I missed you both. It would have been good to say "hi" to some fellow BikeForumers. It looks as though we may have been standing close to one another at Aaron Lutze's exhibition.

You neglected to mention that the weather was magnificent!

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Hillyman. It was a great great event.
