Troops:
Where do I start?....
First of all a hardy thank you To Mr. Dale Brown for being such a mench and new found friend.... GREAT JOB DALE!
AS for the rest I want to thank Eric Elman for starting the festivities off with a bang in the Battleground parking lot. I wound up bagging a 81' McClean.....beginner luck I guess. In response to His Honer Tom Sanders...being pushed up hill by the fabulous Ms. Bingham on a pink DeRosa while I am on my Straight block Pog.....Bellisima! She's the best Domestique I've ever had (Respects to my wife of course).
Speaking of beginners luck...JP Weigle said he didn't want to give a speech because he was to frightened. Peter stay frightened because your talk had me riveted to the screen. You stories eg: X wife, your England experience, your exploits into mountain biking were great. The one that really stood out for me was the quip about the old me in the Witcombe shop who takes you and Ritchie over to have dinner with ole' man cooper, and at the end of the dinner Cooper say this guy taught me all I know...Great stuff!!
Ritchie wish I had more time to chat!
Hey who was the guy at the Painted Plate giving that speech...The ever ready Bunny. Absolutely a wealth of information and a barrel of laughs from the "King" Ted Ernst. Thanks for fixing a lot of flats for me way back when Ted. Even thought you didn't know me then.
Eddie Albert I apologize for picking on you next time I'll lighten up.
As for the this Rookie possibly on the top off my list is just hanging out in the Battleground parking lot drinking some suds and shooting the breeze and getting to know the gang, bike parts and all.
As for the show...What a sickness we have,and I am glad I have it...Glad there aren't any drugs to cure it.
And last but not least. Kruger thanks for bringing the correct tools to get my steed up and running for this So Cali Space cadet.
That's all for now folks.
