    Hi Will
    I’m not going to the Alps this yr. We spent too much in the USA last yr. Your posts are going to be one of the things that keep me sane over winter. Thanks a million.
    Congratulations to Doreen on her riding and such an achievment. Sue did her first metric century last Thusday and is still on a high.
    Take care Brian
