BVC-CHAT Back from Vacation/ BVC stuff!

[Huebner, Lenae]

Hays took a lot of pictures on my camera - I just now remembered.  I'll
try to download this afternoon and send some to you.  If too many - I'll
dump to CD and give it to you.

I'm finally back from vacation, though with a cold/respiratory
infection.
Still taking things slowly as I recover.

I'd like to have the next BVC meeting on Tuesday the 17th if that is
copasetic with everyone.  I have a lot to do next week including a
cycling safety presentation to the International Student orientation,
and a friend visiting from Albany, NY.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the bike giveaway ... seems like a
long time ago ... in December. 

I'll be writing up something for the ACA this week and next week to send
in to their newsletter.  Any pics y'all have got of the event would be
appreciated.

Sherman and Rachel Watters sent in some pics of themselves in their BVC
jerseys, take a look at http://www.brazoscyclists.org/bvcjersey.html.
Send in pics to me and I'll put them up.

Anyone else have fun cycling (or otherwise) on vacation?  I went to the
Grand Canyon and enjoyed some hiking.  Canyons are tough -- you go down
first, then have to climb back out.  My IT band protested loudly to some
of this, but it recovered.  The National Parks all seem to take
alternative transportation seriously, as there are major traffic jams
due to many visitors.  Even in the GC in December, but I think the week
between Christmas and New Years is particularly busy. Must be a madhouse
in the summer. Marked bike routes througout the park (though it is not
where I would go specifically as a road riding destination)!  Also, a
lot of people seem to fall off the edge of the Canyon.  Enough to merit
a fairly thick book called Death in the Canyon.  I survived my flirting
with the edge!
