  1. 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.

    Thugs paid by a cartel of boutique wheel makers has taken Jobst to a
    secret undisclosed location.

    I've been wondering about this, too. It's been more than five weeks
    since he last posted. His tours in the Alps are usually four weeks.
    Maybe he's doing an extended tour this year.

    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

    Well, for those who really "miss" him, how about a picture:

    There's absolutely no truth to the rumor that he has been in Montana
    attending an 18 wheeler driving school.

    Dear Cal,

    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!

    Dear Cal,

    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.

    My first job after high school was working second shift in a factory.
    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...

    However, if the ride report contained a discussion of cornering while
    descending, profusely illustrated with photographs of Jobst Brandt at
    large lean angles on a bicycle, it would be on topic for
    rec.bicycles.tech.

    Glad to hear, and surprised too.
    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.

    No surely the mastery of time travel on a bike warrants a mention here!
