Where has Jobst been? I know he was well known for his supersonic
descents, did his luck run out? Jim Bean has been trying to drive him out
of rbt, did he succeed? Just curious about sudden disappearances.

since he last posted. His tours in the Alps are usually four weeks.
Maybe he's doing an extended tour this year.Art Harris

Dear Cal,
In an email on June 21st, Jobst wrote:
"I'll be away in the Alps middle of July to middle of August."
So he should be back soon. Let's hope that he's not the victim of
recent air travel delays.Cheers,
Carl Fogel

attending an 18 wheeler driving school. -

Jobst emails that he just got back, so presently the lark should be on
the wing, the snail on its thorn, and all right with the world!Cheers,

Good.
I was rather worried: the weather over here has been quite horrible,
this summer.Sergio

Good. I was rather worried: the weather over here has been quite
horrible, this summer.In fact the three weeks Richard Mlynarik and I rode were the finest
weather I've had in many years. We rode from 11 Jul - 31 Aug with
cool weather in the high country having only one truly hot moment when
we descended to Chiavenna in 40C weather just before an afternoon
thunderstorm hit. But by that time we were in Hotel Bregaglia in
Promontogno, having a great dinner. Ride report and pix to follow.Jobst Brandt

Somebody had just bought a tiny new economy car. "That looks light
enough that I could lift it," says the shift manager. Throws his back
out and goes inside and writes himself a warning. He didn't last
long... -

Friends of mine have been staying in Suley these past two weeks and
they had never had such bad luck with the weather, as they have just
told me.
About a week ago, another rider from Castelfranco had to reschedule
completely his ride over Furka, Grimsel and Oberalp. Perhaps, by that
time, you were already gone.Sergio
