Yeah, and what of it? :)<br /><br />Oh by the way, years since we worked together...wait for it... 14.Brian Basclenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-58040610480019906932010-07-18T02:29:02.857+01:002010-07-18T02:29:02.857+01:00Eve – The rain had to come – I have been very luck...Eve – The rain had to come – I have been very lucky so far. This was day 24 so I have done well to last that long before getting a drenching. The ski-jumps were very high, but not scary to just stand there. However, the people that do that sport must have nerves of steel.<br /><br />Brian – Hi Brian!!! I was trying to remember how many years it has been since we worked together – too many to admit to I guess! It was a tough decision what to go to on the tour and an even tougher one to decide where to leave out. The north and the west won out so sadly I will not be heading in your direction this time around. I have heard how good the Blue Ridge Parkway is, so I will have to come and ride it soon. Great to hear from you!<br /><br />Chris – I actually didn’t get too wet, but I discovered my thicker riding gloves weigh a heck of a lot when you take them off after rain like that!Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-5749549260007844872010-07-17T20:49:32.337+01:002010-07-17T20:49:32.337+01:00Too bad you got wet, but it looks like you still h...Too bad you got wet, but it looks like you still had fun.

Enjoy the country and safe travels! From the looks of your map, you'll be entirely skipping over the friendliest, most beautiful part of America (the South), so you'll need to come back soon. I recommend you bike the Blue Ridge Parkway someday. And you're welcome here in Atlanta anytime!

The shots of the ski jumps are great. I would have been very nervous up on top of there. I too will have to look up John Brown...I think there is something about him way back in the recesses of my brain but just can't seem to dig it out.<br />I hope todays weather is better. <br />Ride on!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.com
