I just found this thread -- what a great idea!

Now who wants to volunteer to ride across the Cascades to get "it"?
I could do that. Have friends in Spokane -- I could ride there, transport it back, and ride here to meet someone else. I'm just north of Seattle by 60 miles. Also, our club rides across the Cascade Pass (Hwy 20) in July. Never done it, but I plan to be ready to go this year!

I love the idea of the biking gnome ("gnomess"?)... something we could take funny pics with and document HER travel!
