[DVBC] Breakfast on the Brandywine

[Chaga, Debra]

Nancy,
That was very cool that you're parents sent you and your sister on the
tours.  I didn't even get to go to summer camp!
Deb

	Frank,
	Actually, my sister had gotten into a little bit of trouble the
year before, and my parents had sent her off on an AYH bike trip to
Europe (don't ask me why, my father was a school teacher and that was so
unlike anything they'd ever done before).  So, the following year they
felt it was only fair to send me on one as well.  I don't think I ever
would have decided to do that on my own. It was really fun, and I wish I
had continued riding when I got back to school - but you know how it
goes.  The internet has changed the way we do things now.  If the
resources we have today were available back then, who knows what any of
us would have done.  Nancy

		That's pretty cool that you went on a tour that long
ago. I remember a few years back you mentioning it. I wish I had done
more things like that in the seventies.

			Drew,
			In 1973 I did a fully loaded tour for 9 weeks,
2000 miles in Northern Europe (Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway &
Holland).  Beat you to it!  Ambrosine And on my 10 speed Peugot!

				Good morning Everyone,
				 
				It's less than two weeks until the 31st
Brandywine Tour and so we start the 2007 version of Breakfast on the
Brandywine. First, let me say that the volunteer response has been
terrific so far but we could still use a few more folks. Call or write
our Volunteer Captain, Bob LaDrew, if you are available or if you know
where to find some warm bodies. 
				 
				And please, please, don't be a FedEX
Pedrix, who frequently says he will show up at rides but doesn't. One FX
in a club is more than enough.
				 
				So this is what thirty-one feels like.
Who else in the club was riding bikes in 1976 besides me and Charlie? By
this date 31 years ago, I'd just finished a 2,800 mile, fully-loaded
tour. 
				 
				Just to put into perspective the
longevity of our long-running tour, let's turn the clock back to when
the US was celebrating its bicentennial...
				 

				*	Gerald Ford was president of the
US 
				*	The Concorde began flights from
New York to Europe 
				*	George W. Bush was arrested and
fined for driving under the influence of alcohol 
				*	Cray-1, the first
commercially-developed supercomputer, was invented by Seymour Cray 
				*	Cincinnati Reds Big Red Machine
won the World Series; the Pittsburgh Steelers won Superbowl X; and the 
				Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup 
				*	The top-grossing film and
Academy Award winner was Rocky beating out All The President's Men,
Network, while overlooking Lina Wertmuller's Seven Beauties and
Fellini's Casanova 
				*	George Lucas began filming Star
Wars 
				*	Rod Stewart's "Tonight's The
Night" spends the most time at the top of the US chart 
				*	The Eagles "Greatest Hits" goes
platinum (29 times) 
				*	Charlie's Angels and The Muppet
Show premiere 

				Ah well, maybe in another 31 years we'll
look back fondly at reality tv, rap music and Paris Hilton.
