what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

At this very moment on this 24th day of July, 2010   the people of the pilderwasser collective are loading up the team bus in Grinnell and getting ready for the drive to Sioux City for the beginning of RAGBRAI. However, I’m not there with them. If I was I’d be well into another can of Miller Lite and another brief reassurance to newer team members that “it’s OK, I always drink like this”

In the absence of my typical annual busman’s holiday I’ll be taking a brief cycle-tourist Amtrak-aided jaunt to Portland. A short visit to our especially gifted sister city to the south  aka  PDX   to slowly aimlessly ride my basket bike around with no schedule and no deadlines and no dispatcher. Cruising well within the six degrees of Matt Case.

orange whip? orange whip?...three orange whips

Glad to read of a bike man's holiday--

2009 I could only handle 2 whips on the road. I'll work on my form. Here's to 2011.

Clear Lake is an orange whip music hall kind of town. No camping in public parks, not even for RAGBRAI.
