It's All Downhill From Here, right?

It it's almost time to leave.
Here's the schedule:
Today: Immediately: Leave for Grand Rapids and a 5 pm wedding rehearsal.
Tomorrow: Perform 2 pm wedding (Congratulations Brian Bork and Amanda Bakali!!) and have a fun time at the reception and celebration that follows.
Sunday: Get up head to Madison, find a church somewhere and finish the rip. Get registered and set up etc.
Monday: Ride!
Gayle Harrison called this morning from the road to chat. She's doing well, hanging in there, SAGing it when she absolutely has to -- and stopping in at a Hobo Convention in Britt Iowa?!?

Note my profile picture. The Cyclist on the Roof. It is all downhill from Madison isn't it??

Had to google "granny gear," not knowing that I had experienced it just this morning as I tried out the gears on my new bike. I thought the chain had come off! But enough about me: Godspeed as you get underway tomorrow!

What on earth made you climb on the roof with your bike!?

ps: Picked up Jonathan last night, he's fine. The Cadet Camporee was evacuated last night due to mud/rain so we'll have Gerrit home today sometime. Bad news for the camping, but Jonathan will probably like having Gerrit here.

Okay, it's confession time: I made Pieter climb up on the roof with his bike -- well, I didn't make him, but I strongly suggested it. (If you look really closely, you'll see an "I can't believe I'm actually doing this" look on his face.) After all, what's the sense of having a bike that hardly weighs anything if you never have to lift it?
