Handoff to Skibum, June 23, 2010. Can't wait to ride "Bike Virginia" and start my journey to the Mid-Atlantic and NE!

I just saw the video- how fun. What a great video for Maidei's debut into the US. I was smiling the entire time. And thank you Mike, too.
Always great to see where Maidei visits. Glad you recovered too skinmini!

遙知馬力日久見人心 Over a long distance, you learn about the strength of your horse; over a long period of time, you get to know what’s in a person’s heart.
Way cool skinimini! Atlanta looks like an interesting place.
I do have one odd question..I expected your accent to be stronger being from the Southern US..Are you a long time Atlantan or a recent addition?
I look forward to listening to more accents![]()
I really had fun with Maidei and I was so lucky that my bike buddy Mike loves to take videos. I only wish I had been able to do a bike handoff to skibum--I looked OK in the pic, but I have never been as sick as I was this past Wed. DH actually had to drive me to handoff.
As for Southern accent--I think I have a very strong accent. Raised in Alabama, college in Virginia (maybe those yankees from across the Mason-Dixon line had a little effect on me), and Atlanta for the past 24 years. Southern through and through!
I just watched the video and looked at the pics. I loved it. What a great idea and I'm so glad you are feeling better.

There was an emergency and Madei had to come home early from Bike Virginia. Don't Worry! Everyone's okay!
Tomorrow she's scheduled to go on a tour around Richmond, Virginia, and then she will pack her bags to go....where?
She was hoping to happen upon some other TEers at Bike Virginia, but that didn't happen (they are still there, Madei and tulip are not). So....if there is anyone within 50 miles of Richmond, let me know. Otherwise, I'll send her by mail to one of the DC-area TE crowd.
Anyone? Anyone?
Any DC-area folks heading to the Northern Neck of Virginia for 4th of July by any chance? Opportunity for a handoff, and a small town parade, great bike rides, fireworks over the water...
What's the word? Anyone know where Maidei is?
