Ohhhh yes! Practicing sound like a very good idea. I feel like I'm 12 years old all over again. EH, do you know how the bike things work on the bus? And yes, it would be a very good way to get up that hill.

Talked to my sister a bit ago, and when she got done laughing about me taking the bus, I told her she would have to follow the directions to the bike shop without me. That settled her down. She figures she could leave the hotel about 3pm, so hopefully the traffic won't be to bad? She also wondered which of us would have to call our father and tell him we lost the other one in Seattle. It could go either way. bikerHen
