Great write-up on the brevet, GB! And you made NR sound so . . . mysterious.

Well, the Airborne is all clean and shiny, new tires, headlights re-installed (I had swiped the NOBs from it to put on the 520 for commuting -- I've had replacement NOBs for a while, just never got around to putting them on), new batteries in all the helmet and bike lights.

I have NO IDEA what I'm getting myself into for the Booty ride, but I'm just going to have as much fun as possible. Which is more or less my general approach to most things in life, I guess, known or unknown.

If you guys make it out there, give me a call. I'll set my cell phone to "stun" to be sure I wake up -- errrrrr, NOTICE it.
