stay in touch - it'd be an honour and privilege to lend a bike to anyone who'd do a century up the hudson river on a Continental with a plywood cargo box!

Thank you so much! I'll certainly shoot you a message next time I'm out that way :-)

What's great about this is that it's sort of like Christmas, I have no idea what you intend to loan to me, nor do I want to know, it'll be like some sort of blind dating tv show, I'll show up, you pull back the curtain, then I'll go and try to twist the cranks off it, certainly one of the finer modern day fairytales!
