Has this fizzled? Has it been sent to Dean? Not impatient, just haven't see any update. I sent my address to Dean...but have not heard anything form whoever I sent it too.
Keep the post updated so we can follow the progress of the elusive bracelet.

Got the bracelet. It's supposed to rain for the next few days. Will jump on the bike with it as soon as the weather permits and post pictures and video then off it will go.

The weather did not want to cooperative there for awhile and then it got blistering hot.

Finally got around to doing some trekking today on the cycle with the bracelet. Went about 15 miles total. It was so hot I had to end up stopping short of my planned ride.

Popped it in the mail and off it goes! Good touch signing it too Don.

Took the long way to work today to give the yellow bracelet a look at the local dam...gave it 16 miles last night, 10 miles this morning and will shoot for 15 more tonight. I'm gonna hate to see that bracelet go!


(Everyone needs to be diligent to get their address to the next guy in line, I have no address to send the bracelet to for the next destination. Don't wait till you think it's time, just send the address to the next guy.)

I rode with the bracelet today. I had hoped to do it last weekend but that didn't happen. I rode the riverfront from East of St. Paul, MN to the MSP airport overlook, about 20 miles total.

Some photos:

The bracelet is packaged and addressed for the next stop - Canada. Will be in the Saturday morning mail.
