I had one couple, walking on opposite sides of the 15 foot wide path, decide to come together, hold hands and sing Kumbaya as I passed between them.

Too funny! He should be writing for Lonely Planet.

Yeah! Then you could bike tour for a living

"yeah boss, need to take another trip. it's research, we're working hard on the job, really. We just have to try this trail and this restaraunt and this B&B again. And we both need another bike"

I'm serious, roll out the line of Lonely Planet bike tour guidebooks. Need an illustrator?

So, Veronica, any news about touring/racing other continents next year? Inquiring minds want to know.

Gee, that makes DH's commute seem so...tame. Of course, we were awakened this morning by a thunderstorm, but it cleared up enough that he rode this morning, anyway. That is, I think it cleared up. I'm not very smart until I've had a little time to wake up.

All good books need an index... (sez the indexer)

Nothing yet about Tour D'Afrique.

Lonely Planet does have some cycling books - France, Australia, Ireland and North American west coast. They are a bit old.

Unfortunately their bicycle touring books haven't sold really well. That's why they haven't updated them. Now if each of you would go online and buy a set or two...

that's because they are not written/illustrated by the right people Thanks for the flashlight/handlebar thingy tip, I'm looking into that.

Those lights look like they belong in the "how do you defend yourself" thread, too.
