it focusses mainly on Zabel and Aldag (I guess that's why they are in the poster) but still looks good.

Oi! I'm back from Sydney, and that bit of American soil known as the Consulate. I went to the "American Citizen Services" window and asked for a hot dog, they told me to pharq off. Go figure. Looks like you guys are stuck with me until at least August. Are we making a final decision about the Sunday ride on Saturday night?

It was all train fare, immigration fees, some tucker, and a trip to starbucks. It's not like I went to a bike shop, ok?

they were probably pretty busy with W being bombed while out riding his bike and all (finally bike content although he was not on a roadie). It is a LONG trip from Newy on the train, it does suck.

The best part (next to waking up at 4AM) is that we get to do it again for our interview.
