Wild Goose Chase 2009

A bike with red pedals, red tires and a very distinctive "Hello Kitty" bell is kinda hard to miss

Actually, for me, it was the flame stickers on the top tube that gave C's Surly away. I wouldn't have recognized it otherwise.

I shoulda put my spare flame sticker on the litespeed's top tube

That would look HOT!!!

Oh....and I won a buff. None of the clothes were my size so I didn't even try for those. I do like the fact that the altered the raffles and liked the new format (drop your tickets in the envelops for the items you might actually be interested in).

I think the bf would take the litespeed away if I desecrated naked titanium like that. And complain about how much the sticker weighed. I think I'm already the butt of all he & his bike friend's jokes for doing that to my surly (they're just in awe of its magnificence)

I gave my friend my raffle tickets to drop off thinking it was just something you dropped into a bin, while I took the swag back to the car.

Apparently, she really wants me to take up yoga, ;cause she put 3 of mine into the yoga mat... and 1 of hers. And since she won 2 buff headbands, I guess she put at least 2 into headbands. I think 1 went into a gore jacket. Apparently the jackets and gear were "not that nice" and didn't match my bikes.

I was just going... erm... You realize I can go to walmart & like spent $10 and get a yoga mat? And.... I don't have any intentions of doing yoga currently?

So... I think I'll remember next year not to let her have my raffle tickets.

She did give me a buff headband and put driftwood into my garden.

Saw this on the Terry forum and, since I just went through this heartache myself....and was able to get my glasses back because of a good soul...I thought I'd spread the word:

--------
I dropped my Oakley glasses with clear lenses at the rest stop located at the intersection of Greenbrier and Bucktown road (Blackwater Paddle?). I went back to retrieve them and was told by one of the volunteers that someone had found them and was planning to turn them in at the High School.

I checked and checked with the event coordinators and by 3 p.m. they had not been turned in at the high school to any of the ride coordinators.

Does anyone recall picking up a pair of Oakley glasses with clear lenses at this rest stop? If so, please contact me as soon as possible. My email is hawillis0602@yahoo.com and my phone number is 917-478-2825.

Thanks so much!

Janice let me use her camera when we were paddling since I had left mine at home. Have you uploaded the pics yet, Janice? Anything worth sharing?

Here's what we've got. I wish the sky had been blue.

it looks a lot closer to blue than it did in the pics that I took kayaking on Sunday

Vivid color mode on those little Canon cameras works wonders on grey days.

I've already fried a camera in salt water in the kayak.

So now, I have a waterproof pentax camera.

It probably has a vivid color mode, but in general if I took a picture of anything with color that day it popped in the photos... just everything was for the most part gray.

I also cheated by brightening them up a bit using the "Auto Correct" in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Photoshop and Picasa are close personal friends.
