Southern Tier Question

. Also when he gets closer to leaving I can ask DH about giving our number in case of a mechanical or a crazy hill country thunderstorm. My husband is weird about that though so I have to get his okay. Since you are on the board he will probably might okay, unless your husband is a creepy ax murderer then no.

Amanda,

I've known Dave and Edna for years. I can personally vouch for both of them. You couldn't find two more caring, generous, fun-loving people. Dave and I met on Cycle Oregon in 1999. We seriously bonded on a brutally long day, on a brutally long hill, after which he proceeded to save my life by giving me his jacket so that I wouldn't freeze on the descent. We still talk about that day! (Somewhere I have a photo of the two of us at the summit, triumphantly holding our bikes over our heads.)

Edna & I can't remember when we met exactly, but it couldn't have been long afterward. And, I've had the pleasure of her company for 8 hours a day, Monday-Friday, for the past two years. She does all the accounting here at TE HQ, and the place wouldn't survive without her.

I'm so very fortunate to have them for friends. If Dave was a creepy ax murderer, I'm pretty sure I would have figured it out by now...

Alright Edna, I trust Susan if he is collecting "Oh my god I need help numbers" PM me we are in the Austin Metro. We are having really nice weather this winter, wonder what the spring will hold?

One thing I thought of, he is hitting Texas Hill Country when the grasses really start to bloom. If he is an allergy sufferer and has not thought of it Ragweed, Mold and pollen will be pretty high come March-May. Just something to keep on his radar if he is unfortunate like me and an allergy sufferer. I am sure he has put plenty of planning into emergency medicine or what not but then again I know absolutely nothing about touring. What all are they hiding in those panniers and trailers?
