Up, Up and Away!!

Well folks, the hour is approaching and the travelers, if they close their eyes can almost hear the nose wheel of the plane locking in the down position and see the airport runway in Frankfurt rising up to met them!

I dropped by the pub on my way home today to find Roger going over intricate details to leave behind for the Richo's crew one more time! After much ado, I was able to pry him away for one shift beer + 1 + 1... oh well, you get the idea.

Graham came in excited over closing on his house today (he's a hoosier now) and getting his bike broken down and fitted in the shipping box for the flight.

Kevin swears that his cell phone gets turned off whenever he walks out of the shop tomorrow evening ( at least for customers who may be tempted to have an emergency)!

As for the rest of the bicyclists involved, I'm sure they too are in the throes of last minute details.

To all of them I say go forth and enjoy not only for yourselves but for all of us as well. Ride, drink, eat, and bring back tons of pictures!

We in the rear guard will do our damndest to see that in your absence, nothing here gets so screwed up that you can't fix it when you get home!

Have a safe and enjoyable journey and please, don't give us a thought while you're inbibing!
