OK, the truth is he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come to Austin, Texas just to visit me, he came to see his son. But since he asked, I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get out of town in time, I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t weasel out of it. Just kidding. A Midnight Rider hails from Southeastern Massachusetts, and from the moment he exclaimed \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dude!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I was taken back to my college days in Vermont. That New England accent ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t heard too much around these parts, but it was welcome to my ears. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not familiar with it, the letter \u00e2\u20ac\u0153r\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in certain words is a lot softer. So \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Park the car in the yard\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sounds like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pahk the cah in the yahd.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Anyway, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a little recap of our get together. …<\/p>\n

AMSTERDAM, Oct 11 (Reuters) – The Dutch owner of bike brands including Gazelle, Santa Cruz and Urban Arrow said on Monday it has agreed to buy brands including Cannondale, Schwinn and Mongoose from owner Dorel Industries Inc. for $810 million, creating one of the largest bike makers globally with $2.5 billion in estimated annual sales.<\/p>\n

Pon Holdings, which bid unsuccessfully to buy the Sparta and Batavus brands for $900 million in 2017, said the Dorel acquisition would give it a strong foothold in U.S. markets, where it expects to sell e-bikes as well as road, city and mountain bikes.<\/p>\n

Day 21: Sanderson to Comstock, 2720\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of climbing, 7 hours in the saddle: No country for old men or cyclists<\/h4>\n

Saturday October 9, 2021, 81 miles (130 km) – Total so far: 1,077 miles (1,733 km)\nI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just start off by saying today pretty much sucked. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a tougher day on a bike. But I digress. So started off early with great weather like always, and then the wind kicks up, but pretty mild till late morning. …<\/p>\n

Day 22: Comstock to Del Rio: 1138\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of climbing, 4 hrs in the saddle. On the border with more wind<\/h4>\n

Sunday October 10, 2021, 41 miles (66 km) – Total so far: 1,118 miles (1,799 km)\nThe wind persisted all night. I figured it would calm down in the morning like usual, but not today. Left camp into the wind and it only got worse, up to around 15mph. The climbing wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t too bad but the constant wind really sucked. Fortunately it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a long day. …<\/p>\n
