Yes, that’s right, we talk about biking in the Netherlands. Specifically, Delpht, NOT Amsterdam.

And as always thanks to the Beer Mongers for providing our tasty beverages

Speaking of The Beer Mongers… (from the Willamette Week)

BeerMongers decided to have a little fun at our expense, twisting the WW logo into a BM logo and printing our criticism (“Right breweries. Wrong beers.”) on the back. We were both chastened and honored. The mark of a truly great trolling.

A couple texts from Ranger Tom

His son was in a car accident while riding. He’s fine and driver, and all included, were both helpful and encouraging. Here’s picture of his son’s helmet (which will be replaced) signed by the ER staff.
