Dear Fred,

Huge congratulations to you and Celine for completing this ride around China! What a fantastic accomplishment.

Several of us are setting off on a 15-day ride next Thursday, but would love to celebrate your ride (and lament your imminent departure). That means this coming weekend 16-17 June would be the only chance to meet. We also have some newcomers who are keen to meet.

Would you be available for a (No-)Bike Night on Saturday (tomorrow) somewhere in Puxi that features cold beer and, if you insist, French plonk? All the better if Soberpete is in town!

cheers!
