Revised Plans

Well, as usual, a BNO with a "few" beers, always results in an improved itinerary. Of course, it entails more partying rather than improved logistics or course routing. So, Hunter, Bubba and I will be heading to New Orleans on August 31st to meet up with (at least) Brian for some great music and Cajun food at venues unknown. Then, on to Austin, September 2nd for more music but switching to tex-mex cuisine. Finally, on to Salida, Co to start actually riding the 5th or 6th, so, at that point, pretty much back on the original schedule. It also seems that there may be more SAG wagons than actual bicycles, so vehicle drivers becomes more of a problem. Ah, the problems of aging.

"Planning" BNO June 26

Venue TBD, though, apparently, wings are an absolute requirement. Sloths have finally (I think) gotten collectively old enough to care more about good beer than scantily clad waitresses. So now we are thinking about craft beer every 7 seconds! Anyway, all Sloths, in or out, are invited, either to help plan this grueling event (did I mention it was supported) or to live vicariously through our manly exploits.

Possibly Revised Dates

Due to a conflict for Bubba, change in dates is proposed as follows:

Sept 3rd - Sept 5th: Drive to Salida, CO
Sept 6th - Sept 16th: Ride from Salida to Albuquerque, NM
Sept 17th: Party/Rest Albuquerque
Sept 18th - Sept 20th: Drive back to Tally
