Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Merry Christmas to me - I think I shall keep her.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell Gary & Billy what I used to tell Euro before we knew he was a Brit and I suspected he was French.

Hey, once you have a fat man in a dress and makeup, you never go back.

LOL...You guys are too much. I have arrived home safely from my epic adventure. Great food, great company, great view...worth every second in the airport.

Chip, thank you for taking me in and helping me out. Tell Cheri that I'd like to come ride with her sometime. Maybe I'll find my way to the covered bridge ride next summer.

Be careful what you wish for. Cheri is a hammer collector.

It was our pleasure. Not only is it Christmas, but what good is having this huge network of BF members all over the world if ya can't get a little help out of a jam when in their neighborhoods.

We're close enough that I'd bet you and Cheri will get the chance to ride together once the weather breaks...there are lots of events in MI and OH, not to mention all the BF Great Lakes rides. I'm sure Beth would like to see another BF gal come out to the Lancaster ride too.

Glad you made it home OK.
