    One of the more surreal experiences in my life was an hourlong run that took in quite a bit of the strip. Dodging clouds of cigarette smoke is about as difficult as dodging tourists who stop in the middle of the sidewalk to gaze at the top of the MGM. I got some weird looks, too, given that I wasn't the only one on the strip that day.

    Ides, if I can make it (big if at this point) I'll bring the bike and lead an excursion to Red Rock Canyon. Epic, I tell ya. Gorgeous, too.

    This sounds like an awful lot of fun. Would a relative newbie with a low post count (therefore keeping the "people that think Dirk is an idiot" count relatively low) be welcome? So many of the people on this board seem like the kind of people it would be fun to spend a weekend with drinking, debauching, and of course, early morning bike riding ;D

    Heck, we had folks that post way less than you in Toronto.  And somebody's dad.  And several significant others.  I think everybody had a good time.

    I'll say this: Pete, with 22 posts or whatever, and Daddy Bobcat were two of my favorite people on the Toronto trip. It's about meeting new people, and it's fun to meet people you don't even HAVE preconceived notions about.

    But remember, Dirk...it only takes one post to make people think you're an idiot. :)

    That's why I try and operate under the theory of minimum posts as any more would remove all doubt.

    I'm actually considering going on this excursion.

    And, Dirk, trust me, I'll take care of the idiot quotient on the trip.

    I'm tentatively in ... depending on where I'm working at the time. And I'd love to bunk with sportschick and Cadet if that offer from Page 3 is still in effect. (I don't feel like reading the other 12 pages ...)
