"Allow me to thank all the A-SIG participants for the 2004 A-SIG socks they gave to all A-SIG leaders and graduates at the graduation ceremonies last night. I put on a pair this morning and wow, you guys rock.
I just noticed the quotation marks around the word ""beautiful"". That's the spirit! Purrrfect! I recall that at one point during the SIG, Bruce Gordon, one of our participants, laughed at me when I described a ride as ""beautiful"". He told me he knew what ""beautiful"" meant! When we round that hairpin turn and face a 15 percent climb, ""beautiful"". Or Fred leads us over a gnarly gravel road, ""beautiful"". When the sun beats down, the humidity runs high and we have 30 miles more on that 100+ mile ride, ""beautiful"".
Thanks. Wear the socks with pride.
