Unfortunatley, I have had to cancel any multi-day riding adventures this summer for one reason or another.

Soren,
I am really sorry to hear that, I hope things change for you.

Worthy of Aeschylus


Bill,
Your knowledge of Classical Greece always amazes me!


Quote:

At least your going to sweden Thanassis, see you in 6 weeks...


Dave (Hedgehog),
Is it only 6 weeks away?
5 weeks for me to start off as I have a long way to go (and I don't intend to get there looking like a truck hit me like last year in Asendorf).

Sorry to hear of your tragedy, but thank you for offering the karmic balance

Siggy,
Glad that there was something positive there ...

"Murphy" is Greek. It must be by marriage, I had no idea.
Thanks for the story

John,
No, Mr Murphy is one of the few true internationalists I know ...

Hi Bedouin,
Have you been consoling yourself with drink or what?


Popeye,
No such luck! I am your worst drinking buddy (I am a teetotaler).
I hope Australia is treating you well.


Quote:

I think it was the blah right after the notwithstanding, that I detected the political lying start to surface.


Dewars,
Do you mean it wasn't after the "following which" part?

Bedouin, what do you do for a living ......ANGELIS


Angelis,
A complicated description, let's just say that I am able to control/manipulate my time off to suit my touring needs.


Quote:

So you've already done 3 weeks worth of trips, and had to postpone some others? And I who have only done a 5 day trip to Prescott in May are supposed to feel sorry for you? Heck, I'm envious!


Derek,
You are right! It is true I am badly spoilt and in hindsight I guess I should be ashamed of myself for complaining.
Let's just say I was bored/frustrated at the time of writing.


Quote:

Derek, ... join the ranks of the Ãœberpriviledged along with Thanassis and Paris Hilton then!!


Greg,
Does Paris Hilton and I get "Ãœberpriviledged" in the same room ???
If so I don't think I want Derek to join us.


Quote:

Okay, Thanassis! ... suddenly appeared to have vanished as does a North African Sirocco which occassionaly wafts over your Balkan Peninsula, only to be gone in a moment's notice.
In other words..."this is all greek to me", Dude!!!
What happened???


Dwight,
Not all is lost, I am hoping to resume touring next week.
What happened? Well, certain obligations cropped up and positioned themselves over a period (in each case), just long enough to preclude/disrupt my starting off.
You know what they say ... don't tell "Him" of your plans, "He" just smiles (or something like that, anyway).

P.S. I thought you spoke Greek.

Bedouin. Blessed are those eyes that have seen more roads than any man! (Homer).
