Hey everyone! Mary here. I'm just now getting around to doing our little post-ride update because it took me, literally, two weeks to recover, re-group and upload all of those freaking photos I took!
The guys and I all had a blast on the tour this year and really enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone. We all hope you had a wonderful time too, and would love to see you again on Border Raiders 2008 -- or any other rides in the area for that matter! No matter what, we hope you keep in touch and let us know about all of your great cycling adventures. Now on to the updates...
I've uploaded all of the pictures to a Kodak Gallery. You can check out all eight albums here. Yes, you have to have a Kodak account -- sorry! I don't make the rules. The cool thing is that you can view all of the images in a gallery format, save them to your computer (they're all high resolution), or you can order prints (4x6 prints are $0.15/ea), albums, stickers, mugs -- even apparel (I like medium t-shirts if you're curious).
If you're interested in prints of any of my artistic photography that's not included in the galleries (flowers/frogs/etc...), please email me. I'm working on having prints and mini photo books made and will have them for sale for anyone who's interested.
We're still taking orders for the 2007 jerseys. If you'd like to order one, please
email us and we'll add you to the list and send you a PayPal invoice. The final day to order a jersey is Sunday, July 22. We'll place our re-order on Monday, July 23, so we won't be able to take any orders past Sunday, July 22. The jerseys should take a couple weeks to be printed, but we'll send them out just as soon as they arrive.
If you're interested in ordering a Long Riders t-shirt, please
email us to let us know. The t-shirts will be $15.
We took a list of names and the banquet dinner on Friday night, but would appreciate it if you'd send us an email to place your order.
If you had fun on our week long tour, would be interested in our other rides and own a mountain bike, check out the Flint Hills Death Ride. The ride is in a couple weeks -- July 28 & 29, but we're still taking registration forms online.
One trip over those "bumps" between Hamburg and Savannah can't possibly be enough! If you're dying to try it again, you'll have your chance! Border Raiders will return for it's fourth year in 2008. We're tentatively planning on hosting the tour the week of June 21 - June 28. We'll be sending out fliers around the first of the year, so check your mailboxes.
Well, I suppose that's about it for the updates! On a personal note, I'd just like to say what an awesome trip this was for me. I've done BR with my kilt-donning father all three years and this year easily takes the cake. Thanks to everyone for being such a great bunch of people to spend a week with!
