Book Signing

Snail mail might have been more personal, but we challenged ourselves and mass emailed out the notice of our upcoming book signing. First the power point I made up couldn't be opened by some folks, others didn't get it at all somehow, and some had it but couldn't find it.

So Laura made up a new email that looked good on our computer, but came across scattered randomly on the page when some folks opened it up. We don't work with this stuff often enough to know what it's going to do, so I hope everyone can bear with us. 

For those loyal readers who remain out there in cyberspace but for whom I don't have any way to contact, here is the info on the book signing. We will be at the Gorilla Room, 5654 So. Price St., a fine establishment in Littleton, Co. alongside Big O to sign books at a discounted price on August 30, from 2-5 pm. The owner, "Honest Abe," will have beer specials and it's guaranteed that all will have a good time all afternoon. 

If you can't make it go to llumina.com and order a book! Or it's on Amazon as well. That will really make our day complete.   

Coast to Coast on the Big O

While out riding today with Laura, we met two veteran (somewhat over 30) cyclists taking a well deserved break under a shady tree. Before long we were chatting with one of them, Jerry, about riding from Washington State to Florida back in 1994, and the other one, Tom, having just returned from RAGBRAI; the great ride across Iowa. Tom also volunteers every year helping out on Ride the Rockies. 

Before long they asked for information on how to get hold of a book I've recently written. Oh, have I mentioned that I RECENTLY PUBLISHED A CLASSIC BOOK RECOUNTING OUR   TOUR DE HOMERPEARL, CALLED "COAST TO COAST ON THE BIG O," AVAILABLE NOW AT WWW.LLUMINA.COM?

I realized that this blog may be a link for some interested folks to find out more about our trip and order a book. This could be the start of a tsunami of book sales. I hereby pledge to donate all profits over one million dollars to pro-bicycle organizations nationwide. Please be the first to start the wave.

There is going to be a book signing as soon as Laura and I can figure out the best way to do it. Autographed copies, at a discount, will be offered to all attendees.

Just a reminder, to order one of the first available copies, go to www.llumina.com. or amazon.com. Tell any and all biker friends about my charitable offer.
