[Yak] Re: Yak Digest, Vol 38, Issue 32

Tue Aug 21 16:28:07 CDT 2007

Hey all you BF yakkers who answered my flat world question. I'll get  
a map of W. Europe and figure out where all of you are talking about.  
My dutch friend says I should bike the pieterpad from Groningen in  
the north to south. Anyone done that? Got to say, I feel embraced and  
totally cared for by everyone at the BF store who got me ready for  
this trip and you guys. I've now had the suitcase checked by two TSA  
groups. It's in one piece and bike wasn't taken out of case. I'm in  
the UK now and I'll proudly brave the wind and rain with the  
companionship of other BFers yakking at me.

P.S. I loved the story about patching a tire with a dollar bill.
