Dear fellow riders around the globe,
tomorrow I'll be leaving Germany for 2 1/2 weeks, heading towards
Italy together with a collegue of mine. On bikes, of course (the BIG one)...
Next week, there'll be a scientific conference at Florence, Toscany
which we'll attend (together with some 5 more people who'll go there
by train, doh...). We'll take a few days to ride there (taking all
possible road deviations with curbs and passes, of course) so we're
leaving tomorrow already. After the one-week conference, we'll stay
one more week in Italy for riding cross-country... :-))
Unfortunately, I was unable to respond to *any* mail during the last
weeks because I was preparing transparencies for a talk, my poster
for the conference and a publication which will be sent tomorrow. This
lead to some odd working hours of most times >> 12 h/day, 7 days/week...
*You have not been forgotten and your mails are not lost!!* All of them
are still there in my mail folder (which is now 300 mails thick, all from
the last 3 months... *GULP*!!) Please be a little more patient and don't
get too much upset with me because of that. I'll come back to you.
Oh, and please don't send me any mails until September 3rd when I'll be
back - I won't be able to read them (unless I find an internet cafe at
Florence...).
KTRSD!!
Bert.
