Cooperstown Biker Rendevous July 27, 2009

On the evening of July 27 in Cooperstown we heard down town at the Oasis Bar and at the library too that more bicyclists had come into town. When we all got back to the City Park we found a good size group of cross country bikers. My apologies to those whose name I omitted or got wrong but I believe we had Tracy from Arizona, Maggie and Joe from New Hampshire (who knew our Art from a an experience at Art's bicycle shop in Buckfield, Maine) who were headed west and eastbounders Kali, Scott, Mark and Dan. This is in addition to Eli from NYC, Bob and John from NY and CA respectively as well as Art and Jon who have been with us since Republic, WA. There were 21 bikers in total. To top it off Mary's parents came up from Wichita to visit. It was an exciting time in Cooperstown. We all a great time exchanging stories and experiences, we even all got together for a group picture. The local Eco Devo person got wind of our numbers and stopped by to set up a special tour of a new historical site outside of Cooperstown which is a decommissioned missile site. Tomorrow the group is invited to a special tour of the missile silo. Here come the mosquitoes bedtime.
