Death Valley, Jupiters Travels, and administrivia

[Marco S Hyman <marc@snafu.org>]

Just a note hoping that those leaving for Death Valley tomorrow morning
are able to stay dry.  Safe riding and have fun.

Walter Heyman has this note for the group:

    Ted Simon is an Englishman who 25 years ago, (age 45) rode a Triumph
    around the world. It took him 4 years and after the trip he settled
    in Marin County to write a book about it. ( It was called Jupiter's
    Travels I think.)

    He decided to have another go at it and he left England in January
    to follow the same route, now aged 69 and now on a BMW.

    He is maintaining a great website while underway:

On the administrivia front... the club pages are back on line.   The best
connectivity I could get here (at a reasonable rate) was ADSL which means
that the speed in the me-to-you direction is only half of what it used
to be.  Sorry.  Those using modems to access the pages shouldn't notice
any difference, though.
