[SFDXA] [FCG] OZ1AA and his bicycle tour around the world

[Dan Street via SFDXA]

Thomas replied right away with his plans!:

"I'm arriving on the 4th of July in Fort Lauderdale airport...
Flying in from  Cancun. Yeah, 4th of July, just in time for the
fireworks! I already have a  friend who is picking me up in the airport
etc.

Probably already the next  day, Sunday, I will start cycling north.
Will be sticking to the east coast of  FL and I usually cycle 100 km/60
miles a day. That means something like 3 days  to get to the Melbourne
area, and a week to get to Jacksonville.

If someone  up there near Jacksonville is doing the IARU on the
11th-12th , that would be a  good excuse for me to stop for the weekend  :-)   "
So how about a gathering in Ft Lauderdale on Sunday the 5th before Thomas heads N?  
Then something on the 8th or so in the Melbourne area?  

 

 Thomas showed wonderful hospitality to me and WC4E back in July 2002 on our way back from WRTC in Helsinki, so let's return the favor by showing him how hospitable us FCGers/SFDXAers can be?

vy 73, Dan

    Thomas,
 
 Looking forward to seeing you!!  Pse give us all a better idea of your itinerary.  Where and when are you arriving in FL, to start with?  
 
 Fellow FCG/SFDXA members - 
 
 C'mon and let's show Thomas how we welcome visiting celebs!  If you haven't visited    
http://www.cyclingtheglobe.com
   you are in for a treat!
 
 Thomas is a very good op, too, and IARU HF is coming up on the 11th/12th.  
 
 I'm definitely up to join one or more gatherings over there on the E Coast.   Maybe we can get together near Miami and also up near Melbourne, as well as Daytona and/or Jacksonville?  
 
 Who else is in?  Be a part of his blog, inevitable best seller and ultimately the blockbuster movie!!
 
 Dan

Hello all,

OZ1AA  and his bicycle will be reaching the USA finally this 4th of
July.  He is cycling thru South Florida then head north to Canada --- You 
can see Thomas adventures here http://www.cyclingtheglobe.com.

I  wanted to put you all in touch with him, maybe take him to South Beach,
or  Fort Lauderdale Beach, or any pubs on his route...

He will like to meet  as many hams on his way to Canada, I am sure he will
also will like to see  if anyone will host him for a night, rather than
sleeping on his tent on  the side of US1 hi hi...

I think he might even be able to make the  SFDXA July Meeting, or if there
is a FCG meeting, I am sure he would love  to meet you all.

I cc him in the  email.

PS, He was with me here in  Memphis right after Dayton, so if you all find a
piano, he can sure play!
