I vote for October.

Look like I won't be able to do the ABCE this year. can't get the necessary time off on either side of the weekend. But I do want to start thinking about and planning for an early Fall Tweed Ride. Originally, the CC had discusses 11 September; but to be frank, I'm not comfortable with doing it on 9.11 so perhaps later in September of early in October?

Just a reminder for you non-veterans of the Lake Pepin 3-Speed Tour like myself. Registration is now open for next years event. Participants are capped at 125 riders so register now.

I've booked into Courtyard by Marriott for the ABC Tour Weekend. Any of you Chicago area chaps and chapettes who are planning to go, PM me and perhaps we could discuss going up en masse.

Sounds great for next year! I got 2 white, ribbed brake cables and 2 white, ribbed 3speed shifter cables (with the knurled barrels) for a buck a piece from a rather old gent in the big parking lot - he sold mostly decals...

Alan and Garth must have bought the only parts vaguely relating to English bikes, 'cause I didn't see a thing.

OMG! I saw them hanging your bike and Erin commented that we should show up in force next year with our Brit Steeds!

OK, I'm going to take this on as my 2011 goal to get you BBC guys and gals out here in the 'burbs to show off some fine British steel.

I was there early and left by 10:30am. Got another ($20) Prestube rack - the seller told me that it was for a Raleigh bicycle, duh - and a Schwinn springer fork ($85).

Saw that Raleigh, nice! And a few other British-made steeds - but, of course, it was predominantly Schwinnville, etc.
