I am too distressed to speak. It appears I was makin' whoopie....(pies). My investi-googling was not thorough enough to eliminate the false positives appearing on the initial search. http://bakinwhoopie.org/2011/08/19/whoopie-pie-vs-moon-pie/ Because they were delicious, I'll make my Whoopie/Moon pies again. But what to call them? Dark Whoopie Pies? Drawing a blank here. Now, about Iowa... oh don't get me started. Oh davidh-marin,ca! I am too distressed to speak. It appears I was makin’ whoopie….(pies).

Now, about Iowa… oh don’t get me started.

That's really challenging. I've never tried riding from dusk to dawn since we don't have any safe trail in my place unlike in Minnesota. I would really love to join that race. 100 MoN in the dark?

I am jealous of the Northern Lights you were able to see (too much light pollution in the Cities). If anyone is around the Cities (that's Minneapolis & St Paul) on June 22nd, Open Streets closes down Lyndale Ave for the day right by the Twin Six HQ. In the past they have had a "warehouse sale." Great time to buy! And if you are unfamiliar w/ Adam Turman's work - do check it out here. http://adamturman.com/ He is also having a "garage sale" on 6/22. Brilliant artist! Nancy – brilliant ride!

You and Wife#1 will find that the whole darn family will want/need Monkey Lights. So fun! We had 2 of the non-customizeable models. Now FC? Programmable lights for sure! I'm imagining the night portion of The Rockwell Relay, improved by obnoxious strobe-like lighting. David, I'm sure you can think of what FC should program into his Monkey Light system. Video in the dark? We (more precisely, my son) are working on it. It'll turn up on my blog. 1st year college finals first! I will say that the GoPro video is even more disappointing than I'd imagined. Simply not enough light. Wharton_crew That t-shirt is still available at Twinsix.com. They even had a long sleeved thermal version last time I looked. Here's a little something from the Taiwan contingent, a poem Jason whipped up when he realized he's be stateside for the ride: Dark Dark Dark One Hundred Sleepy Hamlets will be Plundered Dark Dark Dark Marauders Shush your Sons and Hide your Daughters Dark Dark Dark The Riders Seen By Terrified Survivors Dark Dark Dark Their Laughter Chills your Bones Forever After!
