CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO
RODE ACROSS THE ALPS!! WOW, WHAT A GREAT
ADVENTURE. The pictures are great and I have

these trips sometime!
Best wishes to all, my

I have enjoyed myself
tremendously following your one-wheeled
exploits! Ride on dear riders!

Laura, that's great to hear
you've having a good time in Wales. Did you get
to stash your bike at Heathrow? When you have a
chance, email me your home address - your
necklace from the sauna in Lech arrived here
yesterday with mine.
Cheers,
Nathan

Hello all! Its good to read
all the great comments.  My short flight to London
was uneventful, and a huge thank you to Connie
for getting up so early to give us a ride to the
airport.
I spent a day in
Cardiff, Wales. Such a beautiful port town in
the south with lots of new modern buildings. I
seriously wanted to spend more time there.
I am now staying in
Alnwick Castle (www.alnwickcastle.com/), which is an
awesome privilege being an Alumni of the study
abroad program that is here. Its like coming
back to a home away from home. This afternoon I
am speding time with my home-stay parents, and
hopeful a hike in the Cheviots. So far I've had
really good food, tasty beer, and proper english
tea.
Glad to hear so many of
you riders made it back safely. I am actually
itching to cycling more. Good luck with all your
endevors, and I'll see all you MN kids soon.

Yay! Finally got home after
my marathon flight.
Geneva-Frankfurt-LAX-Auckland-Wellington. 27hrs
flying and about 12hrs in transit  . It made the
ride into Dissentis look easy!
A big fat thank you to
Andy, Connie, Dana for all your hard work
organising/supporting the AUT. (It's going to be
a hard act to follow- I'll be happy if the LUT
goes anywhere as smoothly). And to all the
riders/bike support for a really enjoyable three
weeks-what a way to see Europe! I'm priviledged
to have been able to ride with you on this trip.
And thanks to everyone who posted messages on
this Guestbook-they were really fun to read on
tour.
all the best from down
under,
Ken

Congrats to all of you for
your efforts. I am a traditional cyclists and
can appreciate how difficult the tour must have
been, especially on a unicycle!!

Hi all... Some atheist god
was smiling on me today because for who knows
what reason, I was upgraded to first class for
my 8 hour flight to NYC!! I was dreading the
cattle squeeze etc, but instead got to stretch
out on a seat that reclines into a bed and enjoy
all the other perqs: doting service, large
choice of menu, DVDs. Oh it was heavenly.
It was great hanging out
with Franziska and family in Basel and to see
the upcoming Unicon 13 facilities in Langenthal
which look to be outstanding.
New York City is hot:
I'd almost forgotten what summers are like here.
Have a great rest of holidays (if any remain)
AUT family, and here's a cheer for an awesome
trip. Congrats to all.

Hello from Lausanne,
Andy and I are enjoying
our second day off from riding (you are totally
correct Nathan) and we visited Lausanne instead
of riding up another Mountain Pass because of
the sowvetter (pig weather). We are going to
grab a final Swiss dinner and then catch a
movie.
I hope everyone arrived
back home safely, and happy birthday to Karl!
Irene and Andy

The miracles of air travel
are great. The 4 California boys made it home
safely today. I hope everyone else (except
Irene) makes it home ok. Ken, I bet you'll be
more tired than we are...
Nice to have a second
day in a row off from riding, eh?

Hi Bronson,
Just a few more days and
you'll be home! YIPPEE!
I'm in San Diego and
everyone says hi. My dad and Jeannie are riding
their bike. It's about 10:15 PM. I'm just
relaxing. I'm coming home Saturday evening.
How was your day? What
are you doing on your last day? Are you excited
to come home? I can't wait!
Have a safe flight. I'm
sooooo excited about Sunday.
Love you,
Goatwoman

Hello, John et al.-- Seems like deja vu all over
again, with all those photos and notes about the
gelato  .
Fantastic pictures this year; loved the cows and
goats and, especially, the mountain shots. Glad to see that all of you
are still well and enjoying the tour. Wish you all an ecstatic
finish and a safe trip home. | |

Dear friends,
it was a great pleasure to
follow your exciting tour by reading your really
interesting and very well made diary and seeing
all the nice photos... And it was a highlight of
the year 2005 to have you all here in Vilters at
our facility. It gave me and my kids a kick to
ride more and enjoy even more our unis! And we
keep doing it!
Wish you
all a safe return and hope to see you again
soon!

Hello again Kim and Joe,
I was able to finally catch
up on seeing where you guys were at. It is so

It was so nice meeting all
of you and it is always good to see you again
Connie. I had such a
good time!!! (haging out with you, eating
strawberry gelato, listening to Jonh playing the
piano, having dinner with you and staying at the
hostel...and just getting to know more about you
- oups, I was going to forget, and driving a
nice car to visit you) Irene, I'm going to write
you an e-mail about your train tickets.
I'm looking forward to
seing all of you in Switzerland (I insist: all
of you).
And I think
that, now, I know a bit more about my job search
: I want to find a job in the Alps (the Alps of
my childhood...)

Hi, Johnny:
I am so happy to see you
have your favored ice cream. (The scene is a
little bit too much)
Great view and great
pictures.
Only one day
to ride. Congratulation to everyone!
Can't wait to see you
back home.

Hi Dana,
I thought someone was
breaking into your garage, so I took my baseball
bat and went over there to take care of it. Your
Dad now has a pretty good size lump on his head.
Just kidding. I
recognized him in a time.
And to the rest of you,
I envy you. From all that you have written, it
looks like the trip of a lifetime. Thanks for
all the updates and pictures.

You are all just awesome!
When I first heard of this I thought you were
crazy. Australia is one thing, but the Alps
?!?!?! I truly admire your spirit, dedication,
and joie de vivre. Have fun, stay safe, and
savor the rest of the trip. Bronson, we look
forward to hearing the stories in person. Yes, I
finally got the two wheeler. No, I am not riding
it in the Alps

Hi Bronson (aka CowMan)
I missed talking with
you today. I called a couple of times (around
12pm) and the voice mail came on. I'll call you
tomorrow around the same time.
How was your day? Thanks
for looking for a Monte Blanc fountain pen for
me.
I'm leaving for San
Diego in the morning - my flight leaves at
630am. Leslie (grease monkey) is taking me to
the airport.
I watched Fear Factor
and the contestants had to do something to a
goat. Since you have this 'thing' for goats, I
recorded it for you. It was pretty gross!
Have a nice day and I
love you.
Miss you lots,
GoatWoman

Hope you are continuing to

Hi, gang! It's great to see
how safely the trip has gone, esp'ly thru some
of those hairier moments (riding on the
Autobahn, tunnels, fog). Great going! John,
we're all waiting for you in MV -- arrive here
safely, too! Love, David, Shirra, and the rest
of the pebbles.
