Uh-oh! Look out San Francisco!

Someone say Hangar One?!?

DD - do you want to go to
... the hot dry windy flatlands to visit SadieKate?

Wow, you make it sound so appealing.

[SadieKate]

Hey, I'm here on those hot dry windy flatlands!

I'm confoo-sed. Is this mtb-ing or road-ing? I've seen mention of each.

Either! Or! Both! I don't care! I don't have to go through customs in NZ until I reach Chch, so as long as I can give my mtb one hell of a clean before getting back on the plane, I can drag it out of its bag, put it together and go ride it. And Z has made noises about having a spare road bike I could borrow...

Vodka is good.

Hey, I'm here on those hot dry windy flatlands!

And that, my friend, is the best thing about those flatlands!

I knew that mention of Hangar One would cause some of those ears to perk up!

DD - I will get my extra road bike tuned up for you - it just needs a little derailleur adjustment, but otherwise it's good to go!


(I am writing this from halfway across the Bay Bridge ON THE BUS! Some of the buses from the east bay to SF have free WiFi now! Isn't that cool?)

[SadieKate]

Road biking would be good so more people can participate.

And you don't have to do it on the hot dry windy flatlands.

Thanks, BZ.

As long as it's not cold and wet and generally reminiscent of a British summer, I can hack windy flatlands. And I can probably convince myself that climbing is good for me if we hit the hills - I hear Z has lots of gears on the back of her bikes for me to use.

Oh, I can vouch for both (1) the hills in the area and (2) the fact that Z has a lot of gears on the back of her road bikes. It's such a great setup that I converted my bike's rear cassette -- man, that thing is as big as a dinner plate! (OK, maybe I exaggerate a little.)

DD, it will be great to see you again! This is gonna be fun!

Works like a charm.

Works like a charm.

Better than chocolate?
