Not sure when it was re-named, but here in Chicago we generally prefer to call it the Buckingham Fountain.

Yeah I suppose I'd find it offensive if someone renamed something here after the Bundy's.

Where is that fountain? (i.e. downtown, etc)

I have to get up there some time. There is so much in Chicago I'd like to see.

I feel the same about Texas. I would like to do Lance's ride sometime.

I just did a charity ride this weekend, the Tour De Cypress, have another one this coming Saturday, the Ride For All, and I am planning to do the ride for the Roses this fall (Lance's ride, the one I assume you mean) There is something just about every weekend somewhere. We are gearing up for the MS150 around here, so there are lots of "train-up" rides for those unaccustomed to miles in the saddle.

That would be the ride. We are still trying to break free of winter's grasp here, but riding has begun in earnest. That being said, the trainer has not been put away just yet. I am aiming for the Horribly Hilly Hundred in of all places Wisconsin. It is supposed to be quite tough, a 200K ride with 10,000 feet of climbing. I did not think you could ride 1000 miles around here and find that kind of elevation gain.

wheeeew 10,000 feet!

the Ride For All has a net gain of 3000, and given I've been riding the flatlands all winter,t hat should be a pretty good start.

I have previously completed The Assualt on Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina about 11000 feet and The Triple Bypass in Colorado another 10- 11 thousand feet. Plenty of suffering for everybody.

My connection in the Butanese Time Trial Team's R & D Department is working wonders. In addition to passing the Team Time Trial prototype on to me (see earlier posting), he has now passed on Tzu Lompang's Aero TT prototype as they are building him a new one while he is recovering in hospital.
The attached photo is of Tzu undergoing positioning adjustment tests on the bike just prior to taking it in the Wind Tunnel for its first run.
I'm hoping to take it out today for a run down Suicide Hill. I'll let you know how it goes.
