It's
not every week you get to ride your bike all week, but
this past week was special. Tim and the guys let me go
on vacation, and I spent most of it at the Tour
de Burg in Harrisonburg, Va. The locals sure did use
the home course advantage, but we out-of-towners held on
the best we could. Next year they should have a handicap
for people who don't have mountains and rocks to ride on.
Next I jetted up to State College, Pa., for a quick visit
with Grandpa Bryan Banks (above, right), Jennifer Dean,
Miss Alex and Rena (Campbell) Hamilton, just in from Mammoth
Lakes, Calif. Now I'm back and ready to hear about your
adventures from the past week. See you at the shop.
