freeclimb9 Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 Dude left on Feb 1st. He's packing a ton of stuff. That's a BOB trailer he's pulling, BTW. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 That kicks more ass than you can shake a frame pump and a pile of waterproof Ortlieb bags at, which is to say a lot. Rock on, bicycle man! Quote

Dwayner Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 Trask comments: "hey that chick on the left ain't half bad" It ain't a chick, dude. It's a shaved hippy with a good complexion. Quote
Dwayner Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 And here's a computer-enhanced close-up of Trask's girl-in-the-crowd-in-the-Erden-photo: (cute, eh?) Quote
Rodchester Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Received from Erden 06 FEB 03 Hi all; I am writing this from Hope, BC. Rode 58 miles today from Abbotsford. I was hoping for another 20 miles today, but the headwind coming into Hope and the route diversions around Chillawack that took me into the farm roads slowed me down a bit. Should put in a good 60-70 miles tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. The trip is going well. I took two rest days in Abbotsford following three days of riding from Seattle. The frequency of rest days will stretch as well as the daily mileage as I move north. This assumes rideable shoulder on the roadside! Did I mention that one advantage of heading north is that the sun is never in your eye? ;-) I am thinking of you and feeling the warmth of your friendship inside. Erden. Quote
