If so, I'll let you know then. There is no bus service on Sunday, and it's a little cool yet for a bike ride, so I'm not sure if I will be there.<br /><br />If I don't make it, BikerBard has my email address and he will pass it along to you. I would just print it here, but my inbox would likely be flooded with Craig Dudley's anti-Israel propaganda. ;)Mike D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-45742135180424872942010-02-26T15:24:49.000-05:002010-02-26T15:24:49.000-05:00Yer on!
