Final post

So, I have network connectivity. All pictures collected
(send me email if you want a DVD of everything). Final update.

We arrived at Berlin, stopped at Berlin Elementary got our
green shirts (that's the in color this year, Choral Camp, etc.)
and rode to the conference site escorted by Berlin's finest
(hey, traffic is usually slow in Berlin due to a two lane
road clogged by tourists, so what's the big deal if we
clog it for a good cause with Bikes for a few minutes :-).

Final story: as we were riding the last day or so, we came
past a house that had a faded plastic Santa Clause in the back
corner of the yard, Dan saw it and yelled "Santa"...just
as an old man with a white beard came out of a barn
directly in his line of vision...Dan got a strange look
and a wave...

We a BBQ at the home of Tom Miller (thanks).

Talk next year is of a 400 mile 5 day ride starting in
Indiana and ending in Kalona, IA (that's all the way across
Indiana for those who are map challenged).

Now, on to conference....
