Big country, relatively small path.



Beercycling 2006 has concluded, but the stories should continue to grow and prosper in the coming years.

The view above is from the national park area near Znojmo on the Czech-Austrian border. The Greenway is somewhat rough in this area, and Kevin and I bypassed it according to the dictates of our new slogan: When the going gets tough, the tough take the train.

In spite of our long overdue recognition that we're no longer spring chickens and would rather drink beer than fight mountains (at least on a regular basis), 500+ kilometers were recorded, and the beercycling adventure will be remembered fondly.

I hope to offer more in the next few days, but right now, there's work to be tended. Posted by Picasa

Bold statement by you and Moose. Vacation is not always about extreme.

Amen to that, Ed.

However, vacation should be about learning, and as you know, we learned quite a lot this time. The challenge will be not to let the future beers cloud the knowledge gained.

We've already said that in 2008, we'll be doing no more than 30 miles in a day on the flats of Flanders. Please hold me to it ...
