HV INTL. HQ - Jim Glasscock reports he will be guiding Shanna Covey, Suzie Greene (two of the Haricot Vert Water Stop Girls - see the 2006 video at www.bigbend50.com) on a weekend Hill Country cycling lark the soon, but not in June, as originally planned.

The plan calls for two rides, with an overnight encampment at Enchanted Rock. The first ride will run from Luchenbach to Enchanted Rock for 40 mi./64 km. Next day. they'll pedal Enchanted Rock to Fredericksburg for 20 mi./32 km.

"I will be camp boss and cook," says Jim. "They will lose a lot of weight with my cooking."

Jim says he has tried to interest the girls in his personally-prepared gourmet fare. However, they are insisting on hot dogs, hamburgers and other simple grub. No Eggs Benedict for breakfast? How sad.
