Oh, I'm so glad this thread is starting to make sense again!
You know what Ryan's quest reminded me of? When I was in college a buddy and I cooked up a crazy scheme to cycle across the country and have the whole thing subsidized by a certain fast food chain. We figured, make a map that shows all their locations, and pick a route that connected the maximum number of the dots, and eat nothing but their food --free, of course-- all the way across the country. This was 20 years before the words "supersize me!" meant anything. We never even got as far as proposing it to the company, and I'm glad... but what a long, strange trip it would have been!
You missed a Great Bike Ride.
