i am happy to report that yesterday's Boulder Bike Friday Club ride was a
well-attended
hootenany.

after gathering together at the farmer's market, we had a leisurely 10 mile ride
on the
multi-use trails in beautiful bike-riding weather. as we neared Tom and Natalie
Hedberg's
home, she suggested that we all stop by for lemonade and cookies, and of course,
we did,
sharing touring stories, laughs, getting acquainted better, and enjoying the
Hedberg's
generous hospitality.

Laura Watt joined us from west of Golden, and the intrepid Bob Parsons biked all
the way
from Longmont (and back!) for the ride. Also in attendance were Jeff
Butterworth and his
fiancee A.K., regaling us with stories from their 2005 trans-am tour.

now, given the approaching winter weather and holidays, i'm hesitant to try to
schedule
another meeting without consulting you all. so, i would like to propose that
anyone with a
suggestion of when/where to meet, and what to do, please email me, or post an
email on
the club page and i will try to sort-out what makes sense. of course, if anyone
else is
feeling like taking-on such organizing, i'd be happy to hand-over those reigns.

i think it might be fun to have a social in which folks can swap tour stories
and show
photos. it's our club, so let's cook-up some fun...

happy riding, jeffry
