Lovin it. now to decide which Andalusian touring/ Randonneur bike to bring. Those Andalusian frames are quite rare y'know.

> Opening day, Friday June 9th, sadly will no longer have a lawn party at my
> house BUT will have an official, stand-on-it's-own charity auction that
will
> include food! In a new venue, there will be a party of sorts, preview &
> inspection of the auction goods and all sort of hilarity prior to the
auction itself.
> An admission will be charged to cover eats. Rumors already abound of
fantastic

> The Saturday and Sunday events will be very similar to last year, and
seminar
> speakers and guests will be announced as spring approaches. Let me just
say
> that there are some very very interesting folks being discussed!

> Regarding the THEME...
> As many of you know, we have had a loosely applied theme each year, bikes

bikes that

> Andalusian time trial bike, but just an encouragement to bring the best
that you
> have in that Theme category if you have one!
>
> We have had Themes, thus far, representing regions or countries; Italy,
> Britain, France, North America, but because of the relatively small
numbers of
> bicycles (all of merit, mind you) that are out there in the remaining
countries,
> the committee has abandoned that old approach and bravely sets off in a
new
> direction(?).
>
> So.........
> the 2006 Cirque du Cyclisme Theme will be..
> (If I may have a drum roll please... )
>
> "The Fascinating Opposites: Touring (Randonneur) and Track bikes!"
>
> As always, in addition to all handmades, we will be especially pleased to
see
> those traditionally made machines which are shown by their actual
builders.
>
> And for the first time, there will be a $500.00 cash award to the Best in
> Show!

> Whew! This will be an exciting year for the Cirque du Cyclisme! Can't wait
to
> see you all there!
