It was good to meet the members of slender fungus in the cafe and afterwards at Lonski´s.<br /><br />Lots of talking and in the end with you Mark, makes me understand that it is not the man, who decides wheather to finish an event...<br /><br />Then Sunday morning ride with slender fungus out on perfect dry gravel roads with no clouds.<br /><br />One year after that I rode Tuscany Trail in italy and a heavy thunderstorm rise up meanwhile the pre-race meeting.<br /><br />Lot´s of rain during the next three days. <br />Will it be the same as last year?<br />But at least I could finish and the lion looks friendly this time: <br /><br />https://randonneurostholstein.blogspot.com/2016/09/tuscany-trail-and-lion-looks-friendly.html<br /><br />Geraldgerrireggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825557310167427498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-10351459004140057752021-04-05T00:09:00.816-05:002021-04-05T00:09:00.816-05:00I’m so fortunate to have been there, Brother... it...I’m so fortunate to have been there, Brother... it was a surprising end to an overall very challenging weekend.

I know that it took a lot of effort, planning, and money to get yourself and Ralf over here and back again twice. <br /><br />I am still amazed by this and by others from the U.K. who made the efforts to get to Trans Iowa. <br /><br />Ari keeps me up to date on your communications with him. I so appreciate that this friendship lives on. All the best to you and Ralf!
