Fwd: [DVBC] Breakfast on the Brandywine

[Drew Knox]

Sorry, Tony, maybe I was pushing that one too far.

Anyway, thanks for all your help yesterday, Captain Sag. You were
looking pretty stressed there for a while. So I know some riders on the 27
were missing the turn over the bridge -- was that a painting problem? I
thought the arrows were pretty good.

You also said that there was cue sheet problem on the longer routes. Was it
that I did not tell them to bear right on Creek Road at 926. That was
painted pretty well too. What else? One rider on the 65 missed the turn off
of Rte 1 and ended up in Concordville.

You thought that was an accident?
