First Up: Professor Schultz With Tonight's Group Run Routes
Here are my routes for Tuesday's run. Alas, I cannot be there yet again because of the business of work this week, but hope to see you all soon. I have put the route near several drinking fountains so there should be ample water stops for people. Have a great run! Tom Schultz

And Now: Some Timely Advice From Mrs. Dr. Jeff (Katie) Bradshaw
Some important advice to pass on to the Vardeaux: don't wear a bunny hat out on the trails (especially in southwest England)! Katie Bradshaw

More Amish Stuff. We Want More Amish Stuff.
OK, man. You asked for it. Take a look the attached video I received from my older brother, who (true fact) lives in Lancaster County, PA.
Habitat 500 Bike Ride Report
Windy, 16-18 mph pace lines on the Root River Trail and the Sakatah Singing Hills Trail, excellent food and nice public school gymnasium accommodations. Habitat Home construction in Rushford, MN (with a surprise of brand new bikes given to the homeowner and her two small kids), and just a hell of a lot of nice people to ride with (75% had ridden in 2008). We rode 100 miles on one day, and 87 on another. Usually 60 – 70 miles per day. I had no bike or tire problems (thanks to Skunk River Cycles). The ride is limited to 125 riders and is fully supported with a professional mechanic, a road marking crew, and a truck that hauls your gear. True Fact #1: I slept in a second grade classroom with two lesbians who shared a queen size air mattress. True Fact: #2: I showered a couple of times with a gay man. (I kept a firm grip on my bar of soap.) True Fact #3: I ate like a pig (the food was unbelievable and all free) and still lost 4 pounds during the week. (I lost 9 pounds last year – it was hotter.) A professional photographer accompanied the ride (all donated time) and will send every rider a DVD that documented the ride. When I receive my copy, I would like to invite any Vardos who are interested in doing this ride to a DVD viewing at Casa del Klotzbach. Final notes: There are some damn fine bike trails and smooth county back roads in southern MN. And all the money I raised stays in Iowa for building Habitat for Humanity homes.
