My photos and a poorly compressed compilation of all the video I took
are in 'THIS GALLERY ALBUM' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album711) .
Lots of folks were taking photos and I hope they will post links to them
here.
We started out today believing there was a 50% chance of rain and the
weather turned out to be beautiful. George is usually late but showed up
early and even brought his dad. Not to let us begin to expect this
behavior, he dropped one of his cranks before the ride started so we had
to wait for him to reattach it. His dad tried out BlueShift before we
ferried the cars up to Hyak.
This ride, we made it through the tunnel with no UPD's. This must be a
first. I got to use the train whistle that the Blackwoods gave me and
then got to listen to a breathtaking rendition of "Happy Birthday" in
the tunnel in the dark. It brought tears to my eyes...no...that was the
condensation from the roof.
We missed Steve Howard this trip who had to bail at the last moment. He
was sorely missed as were Marie and Miles Blackwood. But I did get cake
and candle. Jan provided a Hostess cupcake with a singing candle. I ate
it in one bite. Bruce and Helen gave me root beer, Tom Jackson gave me
a red bell pepper, and JC made brownies.
Pork city. Good ride. Good friends. Next year I'll be too senile to plan
it so Blackwood will take over...yeah, sure.
