Dan reminds me that about a year and a half ago I owned a cheap Schwinn hybrid--that's it. The Schwinn is gone, but now I have a Linus Dutchie 8, a LHT, and a 1962 Raleigh. And who knows what might be next?
Big rides; PBP, 24HR, double, triple, quads, are in the can. Fixed gear centuries, finished. An attempt at the track, fini. Hit by a car, done. Built my own wheels and multi speed fixed gear hubs. I think all that's left is brazing up my own frame.

Oxymoron?
I hope you remembered to get your card stamped... I think you get a free sandwich or something?

Nope, 2 and 3 speed fixed gear hubs.

I assume you mean you have built some wheels for fixed gear and some with a cassette or IG hub.

Mont Ventoux.
For a long time I've wanted to go back to the Netherlands and try a Bike and Barge tour.
Still might get there.
Love this thread!
Northern Europe by bike, Scandanavia by bike, RAGBRAI, Thailand, this trip through Bali, and, if I win the lottery (for all of these, actually), Cairo to Capetown.
Now that would be a trip, although I think I might rather read about it than actually do it! Anyone heard of or know anyone who has done it?

I don't know anyone who's done it, but it's four months! I guess I'll need to start playing the lottery if I'm gonna depend on it for this:
Tour D'Afrique

I've never really focused on the 'before death' bit but I'll be riding the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal trails between Pittsburgh and Washington, DC. Going in October means I should see some nice leaves, and the campgrounds and hotels shouldn't be crowded.
