    I'll play... I'm not a big contributor these days, but it feels weird to see the dossards and not be a part of it. I considered not doing the last one, but as always it was fun. It also helped get me out of my funk...

    Cruising as in "not riding much" or "going on a big boat full of geriatrics" (I did 3 months as ships photographer on Canberra in a previous life, I know of what I speak) or just (ahem) "cruising baby"

    I have a full size folding road bike (Montague FIT) that I take with me when I cruise. I could send it to you so you could ride it when you are in port, but since you're doing a repositioning cruise; it probably wouldn't do you much good. So far, I've ridden in Bermuda, Bahamas, Jamaica, Belize, Honduras, Mexico and the Cayman Islands with it...It makes cruising even more enjoyable.

    ah, a bit better than the one's I spent most of my time on... full of blue rinses and wrinkles... Seemed that it was the ambition of every old git with a bit of money left in the bank to go on a Cruise on Canberra before it was taken out of commission.

    Sort of "Go Cruise on Canberra then Die Happy"...

    Sadly, the "die happy" bit often came before they finished the "go cruise" bit... on one memorable 2 week cruise, we lost so many of the old dears that the Ships Mortuary (yes, they have them!) fridge was full, and one of the "walk in refrigerators" in the Galley had to be commandeered.

    My wife would like a slot this time as well. She's just getting back to riding some and is hoping this will help motivate her and get her on the bike more during the week. She plans to be in for at least 80-100km per week, hopefully closer to 200km per week. She asked me to sign her up since she's stuck in a lab with a bunch of auditors today is afraid the slots will fill before she's able to get to a computer. :smile:

    I would like to be in this one!

    I will be in Texas 8/22-8/24 so will likely not log any (or not many) miles those days but I'll be back at it on 8/25

    Hopefully perform better than I did during Le Tour.

    No problem - can't guarantee what team she's likely to be on, but there's a place reserved for her.
