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.

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.

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.
