So, dear readers, we begin a new adventure tomorrow. Off to Germany for two events, IM Germany in Frankfurt and Quelle Roth Challenge, some 225K to the southwest of Bavaria. As you can see from my trip notes above, this is another highly technical and logisticially challenging 10 days. Cabs, cars, planes, bikes, legs, anything to make it work.

The photos above are from my ride on Sunday morning from Battle Point to Country Club and then over to see George and Sarah on Eagle Harbor. Dad (George) is the RCV local guy, assisting with events in the greater Seattle area. He will shuttle RCVman to CTHQ in the morning and then on to Sea-Tac. He is handsomely rewarded for his tireless efforts and always asks if the next event is local. Unfortunately, Germany is not considered a local event big guy. RAMROD on July 31, however, is.
