  1. Just wanted to say good-bye for a while to the group here. Beau and I,
    along with 8 other riders, are off to Europe for the 'Alps UniTour.'
    (http://aut.unitours.org/) Some riders have already left - the
    California contingent leaves tomorrow at 4pm.

    We start riding next Monday in Fussen, Germany and will finish in
    Geneva, Switzerland, 19 days, 880km and 11000m of up and down later.

    You can follow us on the website, post messages in our guestbook and
    (hopefully) see daily updates of pictures and stories of how it goes
    climbing 8 Alpine passes and eating mass quantities of fine food.

    Cheers,
    Nathan

  6. Have a great trip!

    I will be looking forward to the photos and ride stories. I think I
    did thorough enough reading of your training ride reports and photos
    that I should be in good enough shape to read whatever the Alps can dish
    out. Bring it on!

  8. Hey folks, the best of luck in your AUT. Or should I rather say the
    best of stamina, a firm butt and lots of fun?! If Europe were smaller
    (meaning I would be closer), I'd come to cheer you on. Looking forward
    to pics and stories.

    Take care!

  14. Ken, thanks for checking in. I have been eagerly awaiting the daily
    updates. I hope he is able to get them up soon. I sure hope David's
    ankle doesn't interfere with his fun and riding.

    That keyboard does have quite an accent.

    Thanks for the valiant effort to get news to us despite the exhaustion
    you must have felt and the difficulties using the Internet.

    Just so everyone knows, it's JOHN Stone who sustained a minor injury on
    the ride's first day, not DAVID Stone -- I'm certain of this.

    Heal well, John! Good luck, Ken and all!
