from slovenia

quick note to say that went for a 40km (1900 ft of vertical) bike ride today. unbeliveable. for the first time in my life i actually wanted (and it pains me to say this) a road bike. felt like the tour de france. the scenery was outstanding (will post pictures later). the ride included 5km climb and 4km downhill with 16% grade (if you have the yaichees a 100kmph would be possible). it also pains me to say this, but gears are needed. too many other stories to tell. off to italy tonight to watch the finals of the world cup.

later, crash

Sweet! Road bikes are fun. So are gears. Can't wait to see the pictures. Now to make you jealous: you missed a great show by Son Volt at Folk Fest yday. Hope the rest of the trip goes well.
