Took so long as I was out of town over the weekend at the Midwest Rivendell

It was a wonderful evening!
The food, the beautiful bikes, putting a face to all of the posters. 
The best news for me was hearing Grant say he was still working on 
designing a tandem. 
What a great time1
 
Thanks Jim et al!

Dang Eric!  No slight intended on the SimpleOne!  In fact, I was
thinking of it and then remembered I'd forgotten the Foy, and in the
process got the Foy in but forgot the SimpleOne.  Is it old age or a
hangover?  No, no, I didn't drink that much... -RCW

Oh and PS:  Grant rode a Nice Ride (https://www.niceridemn.org/) bike
and raved about the whole concept.  Yep, the Twin Cities are bike-
friendly.

Here, Here! Thanks for a truly great event, Jim and Grant. Grant and his 
daughter are some of the nicest, most genuine people I've met – and good 
golly that man is FIT! I can't wait to read my new signed book. Jim's shop 
was (is) the perfect setting, filled with all the cool stuff that I've been 
drooling over on RivBike.com. Looking forward to riding with fellow 
plump-tire riders this weekend.

Liesl,

Not an issue.  The bike was inside, and easy to pass over.  We all were
wandering around admiring the fine rides outside.
