[DVBC] What a club!

[Chaga, Debra]

Okay, here's my story and I'm sticking to it.  I was late with the paint
due to unexpected issues from Mexican food and margaritas the night
before.  After being bushwhacked into a controversy on how to get to our
starting point, JoAnn, Jim, Tammy and I got rolling and we got there
quickly via my chosen route.  Next, Painting 101 and the team learned
the proper size (does matter!) and location--what beautiful arrows we
painted.  We saw Bob, Bill, Frank, Mike B., Penny, Nancy and Edward out
there.  We were aghast when heading towards Chadds Ford we started
seeing GIANT arrows on the road.  At the Wawa we met up with Woody, Bob,
Bill, Gina, Dave.  I learned the lesson that carrying 4 extra cans of
paint uphill isn't fun.  Later, during my well deserved shower, Nancy
called for assistance.  Seems she was wandering aimlessly and eating
berries in RCSP while trying to find her car.
What a great day!  Good to see so many people out.
Debbie

	    What a club! 
	    Fifteen members and one non-member came out bright and early
(well, okay, Deb was a little late and Larry was quite late) this
morning to accept the Bonkers arrow-painting challenge.
	    With a complete lack of organization being provided by their
leader, the participants organized themselves into groups and pedaled
off to conquer the various Bonkers routes. I can tell you from personal
observation that they did their job thoroughly and with tender loving
care. The elements were cooperative, morale was high and the job is
finished. 
	    Special thanks go out to Penny Wilczurski, who is a recent
club member, and non-member Bill Pashinski who subjected himself to
enslavement at the hands of his Gabel Road neighbor.
	    Frank Jackson qualified for the Guinness Book of World
Records by painting arrows that measured over 73 feet from tip to tip. 
	    It goes without saying that Ed Sobolewski recorded another
century. How many is that this year already, Edward? Nancy Schwarz, in
the throes of agonizing calf cramps, swore that she would never again
accept an assignment that entails following Edward's wheel for 66 miles.

	    Upon arriving, Woody Kotch expressed bewilderment at his
inability to predict whether people would want to paint from cars or
bikes. Finally, he understands that we all paint from bikes in months
that have two full moons. 
	    Gina Bezdziecki's innate familiarity with a route she helped
fashion over the years was invaluable. 
	    Aside from the above mention, the club's deepest gratitude
goes out to painters Tammie Calabrese, Jo Ann Fahey, Clarence Shoch, Mel
Stiles, Mike Broennle, and Jim Irwin.
