Hi Fred & Ginnie,

I showed a number of my friends Bob's video and they asked if there were a lot of bugs in the air. I said, "of course and they bite." The bubble effect is great, keep the bubble machine crankin.

Excellent video, Bob!  I'm sorry to see that our bubble machine blotched
up your camera lens, though.  It's the first time I've had a clear view
of the hoard of gnats we send aft when we ride!

Good thing they are low-mass articles, otherwise we'd be slowing people
down in our wake.

A couple of us So Fl bent riders are coming up again Thursday morning for the Thanksgiving Holiday. From the Central Motel, we will be riding the trail each day and would love to have any riders in the area join us.

If you missed the ride this past weekend, here is a chance to come out and have some fun on the trail. Also, if you know any of the bent riders in your area that aren't members and won't see this post, please, let them know about the rides.

There was a lot of interest in our trikes and I will be bringing along a couple for anyone who wishes to ride a light, fast trike.

Feel free to contact me at bill@... or by phone; 305 979 7755.

Happy Holiday,

Folks,

Rick has decided to step down as moderator of this group. I'd like to thank Rick
for his years of service to our group.

Willy Byers will be moderating this group in the future. Willie is a good friend
(well, also he happens to be one of my favorite "humans") and he is a dedicated
Bent Evangelist. I'm sure he'll do a great job.

Thanks once again Rick for all those years of help and THANK YOU WILLIE for
always being there.

Gusy,

�

Thank you ALL who participated in our Weekend Bent Family Reunion!!! 40 of you joined us for the pot luck dinner,�The Saturday�Happy Hour and evening dinner.�

�

About 65 (probably more but it was hard to count)�of you came to ride Saturday morning. A small group of riders did a�short ride�on Friday (before our Welcome Wagon Event). Lots of folks magically came to the same spot for lunch (on�Saturday) �where I must say I had one of the best burgers EVER and .... I hear the food at our restaurant of choice was pretty darn good.

�

On Sunday, some of you got up really early to ride w/ Regis or explore the North side of the Trail. Others, explored the North Side of the trail as scheduled (8:30 AM) and others chose to sleep a little longer and hit the trails when the temperatures were a bit warmer (a smart move).

�

As Willie mentioned to me, the weather was not PERFECT but according to his Weather Meter, it was about 99.99999999999 per cent PERFECT. Can we ask for more? I suppose we can but it won't happen in spite of our weather control powers.

�

Everyone who came was really friendly and I must thank you all again. I certainly hope you all had as much fun as I did. �I would also like to extend�a special thanks to�Willie for all his help and of course, I should also thank our sponsors for their generous donations (Atlantic Bicycles, Cycling Solutions, Hamton's Edge Bicycle�and Trike Shoppe)

�

Once again, THANK YOU. ALL. We have already started to make plans for a different kind of TREAT (and yes, you may run over Willie with your personal bent or thank him for the idea). We're thinking about about a�Three Bent Trail Quest. The idea is to hit a different trail, on three consecutive days (long weekend) and we're working on a date and logistics. Stay tuned.....

�

Once again, THANK YOU! Susan and I had a BLAST!

�

Jose

Guys,

�

As I mentioned previously, about 39 you have told me you plan to participate in tomorrow's Pot Luck Dinner by the Pool.

�

Here are the obligatory RULES:

�

1) NO GLASS by the pool.

�

2) You MAY bring the CHAIR in front of your ROOM but you MUST return it to its original location.

�

3) The organizers will appreciate if a few of you will help us CLEAN�UP after our little "party". I told the management that we have a group of WELL BEHAVED CYCLISTS who are willing to make sure we don't MAKE a MESS. (Please dont make a�"mentiroso" out of me)

�

4) Last but not LEAST, PLEASE, PLEASE, EAT and DRINK as much as your belly can hold so we don't have leftovers!!!

�

Enjoy and I'll see you tomorrow!!

�

Jose

Sorry Jose, but started feeling bad this afternoon and just went downhill. 
Looks like I am postponing my Florida trip by a week.  I am really bummed, but
will try to catch up with some of you down South.  I will probably still ride
the coochee or maybe the trail in Tampa on my way back North on the 28th/29th or
so.

A welcome wagon will be setup complete with some drinks and junk food, compliments of our sponsors: (http://www.atlanticbicycle.com/�, http://www.cyclingsolutions.com & http:www//hamptonsedge.com/�.� You'll be able to pick up your schedule, ID tag�and� a few discount coupons from�our sponsors.(When you ride with the Florida Bent Riders you get to ride for free, enjoy free snacks - which is quite important given the fact we're an eating club with a cycling disorder - and save�lots mula on your next purchase of bent toys and accessories)

�

Following the Welcome Wagon, 39 of you have told us that you'll be participating in our Pot Luck Pool Party (5:30 PM - 8 PM) (Thank YOU WILLIE for helping us organize this party) If you have not received an invitation for this Pot Luck Dinner and/or told Willie what you're bringing, please be sure to email soflakettwiesel@...>,

�

On Sunday we have a couple of alternate rides, a trail ride for slower riders (like me) and a FAST ride, compliments of Regis of Hamptonsedge.com fame!!!

�

For more details, PICK UP the RIDE schedule Friday at 4:30 PM (@ the Welcome Wagon)�or Saturday at around 8:40 AM (just before the ride & traditional photo op session.)

�

So.... start packing..... start getting your bent contraptions ready for this weekend!

Your mission MUST be completed and failure is NOT an OPTION: Your mission is simply to BE THERE!!!!

By the way, if you happen to get to the hotel early THIS FRIDAYT (say, just before 2 PM), LOOK for Willie as a group of early arrivals plan to do a little PRE-Welcome Wagon Ride on the Trail!!!

So I assume the storms are not an issue then?  I am leaving DFW tomorrow morning
early.  I should be pulling into the Motel sometime between two and three on
Friday.
