T he Steamboat proclamation was very nice, and included the riders, coordinator Riley Polumbus from the Chamber of Commerce, a sharp gal and councilman Paul Strong, also very knowledgeable. He read the proclamation and we all shook his hand in front of city hall, Greg, Chris, Bryon and I. There is no Mayor in this city. I also gave a little spiel about the NBG and our ride in on their nice bike trail. I also mentioned a close call for Greg and I had when a white van who was passing another vehicle made us both scramble to get as close to a guard rail as possible. He missed us by a foot or less at 60+ miles an hour. We got a free lunch from the Creekside Restaurant, a beautiful spot along a creek with a very attentive manager and wonderful help.

Love to all, Jim Muellner
