Because I missed Cirque last year and with the cancellation of the Velo Rendezvous at year end (I'm still in mourning Chuck!), I'm really looking forward to this year's Cirque. I'm shipping my all-chrome Zunow (which a certain Mr. Freitas found for me) for a little Japanese flavor. I'll be sweating bullets while my baby is in transit, but I've already notified the hotel that it will be arriving.
By the way, the Best Western Leesburg staff has been wonderful in my dealings with them over the phone. I'm more comfortable with the hotel receiving my bike than with FedEx shipping it ;^)
Regards,
Marc St. Martin (on the road in Louisville, KY) normally in: Livermore, California USA
