Well, Steinbach’s finest have raided our property again and stolen another bike (along with my lawn mower gasoline). That makes four stolen bikes, two tanks of gas, three house eggings, a broken tree and someone else’s bird house on a 4 x 4 post smashed against our front door – not that I’m keeping track or anything. Classy, very classy, whoever they are. If anyone sees a red Trek bike (men’s frame) with whitewall tires, black fenders and a front basket, you know where it belongs. It’s pretty distinctive, easily spotted. Serial no. B982B/WTU146644M “Trek Cruiser Classic”. Sigh.

Time to start prepping for the HeadWaters100 guys. So, start memorizing your lines to MC SpandX’s “Performance” for the call-out ride. You also might want to check out his latest offering for the MTB crowd, “Get Dirty“. Hilarious! Can you believe that “Performance” has over 1.4 million views since last year?

As many of you know, RJ’s son Luke, as a member of the band , “Enjoy Your Pumas”, was a warm-up act for the Bon Jovi concert in Regina on Wednesday. This morning, The lead singer, Rosie Blais, and Luke were interviewed about the experience on CBC radio. They were both in high spirits and said they had enjoyed themselves immensely. Their music is really very good—-you can listen to some of it on You Tube.

Hi there,
Hans mentioned this ride in an e-mail and I’ve also been wondering if there’ll be a crew of MIT’ers making a trek down there in September. I missed it last year and don’t want to this year if there are others going.

The ride is to start at 7 am to Cook’s Creek. I will need to ride short as I need to be home early. Who is all riding and do we change destination and time of ride?

This the “Million Dollar Highway” up Red Mountain heading south out of Ouray, Colorado– considered one of the most spectacular climbs in the U.S. That little green strip on the right is the river, 300 feet straight down. Maybe highway 52E to La Broquerie is not that dangerous after all…
