I'd LOVE to be there, but... sadly, I'll be on the Oasis of the Seas somewhere in the Western Caribbean. I DO know that Bob Goldman, the man who's won that thing more years in a row than anyone in recent memory, will NOT be participating this year.
I didn't even go riding today, it was too hot out.
New Roc HD is doing a Polar Bear ride tomorrow too, I was gonna stop by if the temperature stays where it should be for a January without global warming.
I thought it was just a group ride, found out it was a road rally with timed routes and check points and all that stuff. Talked with one of the employees at the local Cycle Gear that went last night. He just went for the ride and didn't care about winning anything. Got lost a couple of times and just waited for the next bike passing by to follow. So Froggy, how'd you do?
Our Mike Epp competed in the "Expert Class" for the first time this year. Due to missing a checkpoint, he didn't finish in the top five (he won the novice class last year).
Gomo put together a terrific video he uploaded to YouTube:
Oh, I don't know about that.. I took a transport to the Munich airport yesterday. We passed a guy on a R65 with a sidecar (on the Autobahn). It was -3F outside.
