hey pacific northwest ska chapter members. oh what the hell - hey everybody. let's pick a date for the cascade ride. jill and luke - you guys should come up this year - it's just 2 days. of course i expect kentner, graz, randi, brien, jeff, derik, am i forgetting someone?

It was only a matter before RAGBRAI stole our route. The route also goes near Templeton, home of Al Capone's favorite spirit: Templeton Rye. Probably worth a side trip. There might even be a cool off-route party there...

On a related note, Cyclo de Mayo is moving forward with great surges. Registration is now up on bikeiowa.com. Sign up today and save the date. Public Property will even play the after party. Sweet! Hope to see you all there.

funny instructions to train for a multi-day tour

yo ya'll
i've got four from Portland coming including Randi; who will be bring a bike this time. Lisa is also coming up from MO. but i do have a ? or two
1. do we need to register, i always have but i seem to remember it didnt matter?
2. lisa wont ride, do we need the car registered...or is it all outlaw camping
3. would a keg get to foamy in a b.o.b......too to warm (but so nice)

see ya soon

Whammo!! Through Sutliff and Solon... Ha! I totally called it, yet again proving how much cooler/better/smarter/smellier I am than Derik

I think the RAGBRAI organizers must have just found out how much fun SKABRAI is so they stole our route

Now I just have to find flights for less than $2000. But at least the dollar is now equal to 1 swiss franc (used to be 1.3)

Hey Graz, I drowned my phone. Wanna go for a ride? 503-209-7769

Indeed, Happy Birthday Mike D!! Anyone have an extra tandem they're not taking on Skabrai? Sayuri and I are getting married on March 20th. She gets here this Sunday, March 9th. Obama!

Happy Birthday to the Reverend Mike D!!!!

more like too bad I didn't put all my money in euros

hi ho y'all
its done i quit UPS after the two years of not being able to take vac. in the summer.
i've got a small group of three ready to make the GREATEST JOURNEY OF ALL TIME.......marketing it much like a heads on ad.
so pray for i have not the time nor cause to take prisoners. i plan on decending on the fertal crest like a famished lion and forgetting all that once was what I could have been
mike d, may god smile apon thy soul, as i feast on your liver, its a done deal.

cheers graz

? fertal looks wrong and i care not, famished too, damn i gotta learn how this spell check thing works

pss. to bad the dollar is worth .30 euros

Eli and I have been trying to plan a second annual SKEWBRAI (Self Kontained European Wastoids Bike Ride Across Iberia). Anyone want to come to Spain? We would start in Barcelona and head south along the coast stopping at the horse ranch my friend works at and then maybe train-shortcuting down to Sevilla area and hitting up the rock of Gebralter and perhaps jumping over to Morocco by ferry for a day. Bikes on European airlines are free! Here is the SKEWBRAI potential map.

Don't forget how rad SKEWBRAItaly was last year!

and some claim that spanish wine is even better than italian!

We are having a hard time setting dates so if you are interested let us know. We were thinking of trying to do it before Georgette leaves from May 14 to June 14th for Conferences and a course in the USA/Canada. Otherwise last wee of June SKABRAI warmup??

OH YEAH... who wants to place bets on the N.L. Tipton route?? Coming out soon. I made a potential SKABRAI routes. Eli has an awesome farm outside of Tipton and we will be in the area of the Meggers and Denehy party palaces.

and so do bad bike paths... HA!!
