This is Erb's Bridge, a covered bridge, located about 2 miles from our home. It was a truly wonderful weekend. This weekend had its beginnings back in July when Floyd Landis won the Tour de France. In a very short time, news broke that Floyd had tested positive for a high testerone/epitesterone ratio. Many of us from Lancaster County had trouble believing this. Cal has become almost obsessed with following the news regarding this matter. Through this obsession, he has become friends with people from around the United States. It was announced that the Floyd Fairness Fund would be sponsoring an event in Ephrata and we gladly became hosts for many guests who have become our friends. Below you will see some of the events we experienced over March 23-25.
We spent Sunday lunch at the home of the Hurst's who graciously opened it for many folks. It was a really fun time.
We spent lunch talking with Will Geoghan, Floyd's manager and had a great time.
Lorie and I are sharing conversation with friends following lunch.
Will and Paula at lunch. Paula helps David on tbv and is married to Mark who took these pictures.
This picture symbolizes the hope which is springing forth with a greater pulse. Dr. Arnie Baker, cycling coach and medical doctor who is helping Floyd defend himself talks with Kevin Dykstra (better known as duckstrap at Daily Peleton Forum) and David Brower (tbv). Check out some of the stuff Kevin and David are sharing at http://www.dailypelotonforums.com/main/index.php?s=cb65b85a85dac8933967560aac358cfe&showtopic=3770&st=40
Floyd relaxing after lunch.
Sunday afternoon, we went for a ride, which was wonderful. I am pictured with my new friends, all persons I have met over the internet. Next to me is Kevin Dykstra who resides in Massachusetts. He is a great guy and very intelligent. Mark Kirsch is next to Kevin and resides in New York with his wife Paula (strbck). Mark is the person who provided all the photographs you are viewing on this entry. Check out all his pictures at http://kirschweb.net/ephrata/content/index.html Last, but not least, is David Brower. He started a blog to track Floyd Landis news and is what ultimately brought us all together. David is from California and you can learn all you need to know about the Floyd Landis case at http://trustbut.blogspot.com/ The day was beautiful and we rode about 18 miles with a couple of nice hills.

Cal it was such a pleasure meeting both you and Lorie. What a weekend, huh? Hard to believe that it was almost a week ago. Talk to you soon, I am looking forward to Floyd's victory.
