This morning as I went out the door a little bird or was it a buzzard? (it
takes one to know one) came flying and landed on my shoulder and told me there
is another bent invasion coming soon!
Yes you all time to start preparing your suitcases again.

Sorry I could not make it I was riding with my grandson who is 7 years old and
not ready for sush ride. Maybe he can join one of our SFRR rides after he
recuperates and tell some of his many stories. This has been an epic adventure.
I wish him rapid recovery.

Too bad more people could not make it out to ride with Rafael yesterday, it was
a little hot but a great ride anyway.  I met up with him and Jim Artis from
North Carolina on US27 and together we rode back to home to Weston.  Along the
way were several people cheering him on and welcoming him back home, as well as
several reporters taking pictures.  Here is a link to one of the articles, with
some pictures;

I am looking forward to when it cools down a little more to resume the Sunday
Morning Ride again.

Hi, Maria,

Jeff and I are heading up to Sun City outside Hilton Head, SC for a
biking weekend.  We haven't been to Sebring in a number of years, but
it's great riding.  Are you staying at the Kenilworth?  It's very
rustic, and I enjoyed staying there, especially if you can get the
cabins around the pool.  A couple of times we stayed at Inn on the
Lake a little ways north on US 27.  Very nice hotel, great place for
lunch, too.  Have a GREAT time!

Jose? Sooo busy now, many bents to get out

to folks.

Thanks guys,

Call for more info; Bill...305 979 7755

Steve,

I have taken the early weekday train many times. It's usually empty
and no problems. I put my trike in the bike area on the south end of
a car and sit on it, more comfortable than their seats.

Enjoy,
Bill

I'm also waiting for the post Bill.  Are the Coconuts riding Sunday?  The Hammer
needs to know how to plan his weeekend riding.

As most of the people on this board know we have a local Catrike Rider Rafael
Giraldo riding across country from San Francisco to St Augustine to Weston.  If
by any chance you do not know of his journey you can find out more on his web
site www.tourofdiscovey.com .

He is due to arrive back to Weston on Sunday and I wanted to get a group of bent
riders together to meet him and escort him into town.  His path home is straight
down US27 from Clewiston, and the official meet point is for everyone else is at
US 27 and St Road 84 intersection.  I wanted to try and meet him a little
farther up the road and actually help pace him back home.  His planned arrival
is at high noon so we will be out in the heat of the day, so anyone coming
prepare accordingly.  Steve and I both are trying to figure out the best way to
logistically make this work as 27 is not a great road for meeting up with
someone, so I welcome suggestions on a best place to meet up on 27 and I would
like to get as many people from our bent community a possible for support.

Here is some more information on his cross country ride.
On June 6, 2009 our Weston resident, and middle school teacher Rafael Giraldo
started an 80-day cross-country cycling trek called Tour of Discovery. As an
educator wishing to inspire and teach his students, he has used his journey to
convey a lesson in commitment and about the value of establishing meaningful
goals in life. With the use of GPS tracking technology, and in combination with
his web site, Mr. Giraldo has shared through digital photography, videos, and
his blog, the experience of his continental crossing with students and the
local, national, and international communities.

Tour of Discovery started in San Francisco, CA and has taken this educator to
Saint Augustine, FL after crossing 11 states: California, Nevada, Utah,
Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and
Florida. Mr. Giraldo has faced many difficulties to accomplish his goal of
teaching his important lesson. He conquered the snow of Carson Pass in the
Sierra Nevada in California; surpassed more than 24 summits in Nevada, faced the
desert and its sandstorms in Utah, ascended to Monarch Pass at 11, 312 ft in
Colorado, and survived terrible storms in the Great Plains.

On Sunday, August 30th Mr. Giraldo seeks to finish the last leg of his journey
as he rides back into our beloved city of Weston. Come join us as we welcome him
home.

They proposed this a few years ago.

Remind them that a 20 cycle  group riding a few inches apart side by side goes
from a few hundrd feet long to a few miles long if in single file 100 feet
apart. No one will be able to pull out of their side street fo a looooong time
waiting for that group to pass.

Also mom and dad out for a ride with the 5-year-old will not be able to keep in
touch with the kiddie LAW SUIT!!!!
