| 27th July 2007 Noi | Hey guys! - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Hey you two! I had no idea about this site til I saw a link on another blog titled "Two Idiots on Bikes". I was intrigued, clicked the link, and here you are ANNE AND FOREST! :) Anyway, wasting time at work til I can safely leave. :) I got a job at Microsoft in Charlotte. It's going ok, but it's well...it's just work. :-P Also, in other news, this summer I got married, turned 30.. Lots of milestones. Anyhow, hope you are doing well. I'm going to link to you guys from my own blog. I'm at http://noiliang.wordpress.com Have a great time and I'll check your guys' posts to see what you're up to! Noi |

| 11th June 2007 Joanna & Andy | See You in Turkey - From: Tearin' Up Turkey Hey, we are sitting in an internet cafe in Santorini, Greece with one more greek island before heading to Turkey. We won't get to meet the wonderful farmers, but we are looking forward to meeting up with you guys. |
| 11th June 2007 Jim O'Brien | Kutna Hora Czech Republic - From: Tearin' Up Turkey Hey Guys, Sounds like y'all are having a blast, keep us updated. If your travels happen to take you past Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic (about 60 km west of Praha) drop by the Ossuary (bone church) and the St. Barbara's Cathedral (particularly at sunset). Both are crazy sights a little off the beaten path. Later on! jim & carla |
| 4th June 2007 Sarah | Jealous - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Still in Durham...still moving things around 3 different states...and jealous! I am cheering for you both and hoping that you get through Turkey better than I did in 1997 (can't write the story here)! Thanks for being such great friends...I will stay tuned and look forward to a reunion in Durham or CA (and, of course, you are both always welcome in Cincinnati!). |
| 2nd June 2007 Sapan | Belly Dancing, Turkish Delights, Hooka... - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike I suppose after enjoying an evening of Belly Dancing, Turkish Delights, Hooka,...(and things best not written), you guys will need a lot of motivation to get out and bike. We are cheering on for you guys from here. While you are out there biking, Aadit is keeping up with u guys and putting on all those miles on his trike here in Durham. |
| 31st May 2007 Vitaly & Jen | We'll Race you - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Hey, guys! By our calculations you should have started your trip by now. How is everything going in the sunny Turkey? Thank you for letting us get a head start, we are just about to complete NY state part of our trip. I feel in much better shape now and am ready to race :) Synchronize your watches, adjust for time zone, altitude, local alcohol consumption customs, etc. get set, go!! See you at the cyber finish line. Vitaly |
| 30th May 2007 Kate | girl shoes - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Wow Annie! Are you wearing girl shoes in the graduation photo? |
| 30th May 2007 JB | Good Luck - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Love the title! Good luck on the trip. Sounds exciting and exhausting at the same time. The few places I've been in Eastern Europe (Prague and Budapest) were amazing. Cabbage and Forest in lederhossen sound scary but worth posting. I head to Asia tomorrow for 3 months of backpacking ending in Australia. Take care and be safe guys. -John |
| 30th May 2007 Niki | have fun! - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Congrats on graduating! Can't believe that much time has passed since your first little biking adventure. Check out Google maps http://maps.google.com/maps?tab=wl for directions from Durham to Athens. Unfortunately, there is no advice on how to transport those bikes.... Have fun! Niki (from NYC) |
| 30th May 2007 Laura | Pedal faster! - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Hi guys - Scott and I will be eagerly reading your blog updates, living vicariously through our favorite bikers!

Yes, I'll be following your crazy asses around on bikes and then will really look forward to hearing what you are doing next year in SF. I'm in NY - gradschool |
| 30th May 2007 Nancy Kallus | Hi - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Thanks for quick blog. Cute pics except of me. I'll email photos to you soon. Enjoy Turkey. I'm drooling. |
| 29th May 2007 warnerkallus | on second thought - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Can we skip the Leiderhausen photos? Its just that some things can't be unseen. |
| 29th May 2007 Robin | sounds fun - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Wow guys here you go again huh! I would be jealous except that we're gonna have so much fun this weekend in Tahoe and you're gonna miss it :) |
| 29th May 2007 Fedr | go for it! - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike hey guys, well done ... I look forward to reading your blog ... and sure hoping you'll make it through Slovenia (and that is not Slovakia, as a certain Texan thinks!)! Gregor |
| 29th May 2007 Sara Whitaker | things to look for... - From: Putting our new MBAs to waste: Eastern Europe by bike Annie and Forest, Congrats on Graduation. You both did it! Be mindful of men carrying loaves of bread on Austrian buses and always carry with you the ability to speak jibberish on the spot. Say hello to the alps and stay away from the white witch. Love to you both. God bless. |

| 6th July 2005 Michael Linn | Hey, all right! - From: A Salty Goodbye Hi Forest and Anne, Thanks for sharing your awesome bike trip with us. Enjoy your re-entry into society, take it easy for awhile, drink lots of water, etc. Give me a call sometime or just come visit. We're in Waldport, OR until October. Don't worry, it's a small coastal town, so it won't freak you out. -Mike, (541) 563-6944 surf@isamexico.com |
| 5th July 2005 michael | To - From: A Salty Goodbye Dawn fed you To [sp]? Isn't that a tad cruel? Congrats Anne. I got in late tonight, but will call you and Dad Lynn and Forest tommorow. From the office...you DO remember the office dont you? |

| 5th July 2005 Randy Bartel | Congrats! - From: A Salty Goodbye Congratulations, Annie & Forrest! I followed your trip with great interest after you left Garden City, Kansas, and was happy to see you made it to the east coast. I still remember the bittersweet feeling at the end of my coast-to-coast bike trip over 20 years ago....Just something you have to experience to know. I'm also glad to hear you managed to keep your cell phone the rest of the way! ;-) Best wishes in the "real world!" --Randy |

If you're ever in Boston, PLEASE let me know! love, Alison |
| 5th July 2005 Rick Mena | Thanks! - From: A Salty Goodbye Thank you guys so much for sending out this BLOG, until now I have never seen any real use for them. It has been so much fun to eagerly await each new installment of pictures and adventurous tails. IT has given me something to do at work...actually the best use of this work PC in a very long time. I am looking forward to when you get back to SF so you can regale us with more stories of adventures. Oh yeah and great photos by the way "prepare to meet God!" Thanks for letting that one get by. PS I thin you should get real tattoos. |
| 5th July 2005 Geoff | Congrats! - From: A Salty Goodbye What an amazing trip. Thanks for "taking me along." It looks like something that will forever be a great memory in your lives. Good luck in N.C. |

| 27th June 2005 Gregg | Good Luck - From: Kentucky Fried Bikers Just wanted to send well wishes to you two idiots from a future classmate. See you two in Durham...and I expect some great stories. Good luck and have fun! |
| 23rd June 2005 Laragh | - From: Kentucky Fried Bikers Wow--glad you guys survived deepest, darkest bourbon country--I hear people occasionally disappear only to emerge 20 yrs later with 19 children and a pick-up truck (gun rack optional). Kidding! Annie--doing the family proud! L |
| 9th June 2005 anonymous | I wish I had known.... - From: Kissing Kansas Goodbye Anne and Forest thanks for the comic relief while at work. Ann, you did not tell me you "roomed" with Dayna at Duke. Funny story ask later. And you know that hunting and fishing store you were at (called BassPro Shop) it is by my parents house in Nixa, Mo, just outside Springfield and Jen and I have been there, it was actually the first place my parents took us after we landed in Springfield after a red-eye flight, go figure. Anyway, continue to have good luck and take a picture of a BMW or Mercedes with license plate from a Southern state. - Eric |
| 9th June 2005 anonymous | I Met Anne's Other Boyfriend (FORE-do not read) - From: Kissing Kansas Goodbye Anne- I met Ronnie Lott. Isn't he your other boyfriend or is it some other football dude? He's friends with my CEO and they're in some club that met in the office yesterday and I made him coffee, because not only am I a HR Generalist, I'm also an admin (they haven't figured out I'm not detail oriented and a bad hostess). Anyway, a very nice man and quite hunky. Sorry FORE. KJ - KJ |
| 7th June 2005 anonymous | Too easy - From: Picking up Speed... and Grime Judging by these pictures, I think you guys aren't pushing yourselves enough. I think you should trade off days towing each other... and the trailer... and maybe the DCD Realty mini-truck... - Charles |
| 5th June 2005 anonymous | Any Tornado pictures? - From: Picking up Speed... and Grime Gee, will you have any pictures of tornados on your next update? - Mom B |
| 22nd May 2005 anonymous | Like, oh my Golly - From: Still talking to each other after first week of pedaling! You guys are tooo much . . . you're awesome! If you can make it up to Delaware (c'mon, it's not THAT much further), we can put you in our park paper! Alli |
| 20th May 2005 anonymous | sausage sweats - From: Still talking to each other after first week of pedaling! I love slim-jims! Just don't get the sausage sweats. Congrats Forest on school. I'm so happy I think i'll go to the bar and have a drink while you guys suffer some more. Is that friendship or what? Miss you!! - Heather |

| 17th May 2005 anonymous | Flintstone Village - From: Still talking to each other after first week of pedaling! Still looking for giant tumbleweeds and other Forest-sized souvenirs? If you're heading north of Flagstaff towards the Grand Canyon, keep an eye open for Fred Flintstone and co! - Niki |
| 17th May 2005 anonymous | still talking after bakersfield?? - From: Still talking to each other after first week of pedaling! thats a good sign! annie do you have man-calves yet??? now you will have someone to defend you at duke when you are known as "that girl with the man-calves" -- congrats forest, that is great news! you guys will have a great time together riding in the smokeys. i will be heading out east next week - ill try and track your man-calves down and throw an egg mcmuffin at you guys while I speed by in my air conditioned uhaul. (there might be space for some wayward biker bums in the trailer - i wont tell anyone!) --keep cruisin'--brian - Brian |
| 11th May 2005 anonymous | - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. Holy crap, Annebelle! Have an awesome time and good luck to both of you. Keep me updated on your adventures, since all of mine now involve diapers, spit-up and baby babbling. -katie |
| 11th May 2005 anonymous | idiots - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. bring sun screen. do you have sun screen? and bug repelant. You will need some bug repelant. Did you bring water? You should have some water in case you get thirsty. Biking can be thristy work. I hope you took the time to learn the appropriate hand signals for turning. Or do you plan to go straight the entire time? When you die, can I have your stereos? I am a huge fan of anonymous posting. |
| 9th May 2005 anonymous | brave! - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. Sound like a brave effort to me. Take it slow at first until your thigh mussles really understand what you've decided to do to them. Be safe. Too bad you're not heading up north too, because you really should add more miliage, don't you thik? BTW. Have you read the book, "UltraMarathon Man?" I think it would inspire you. Especially the stuff about being able to sleep while running and having pizza delivered to him on the road. Good tips. Most of all, have fun. - Geoff |
| 9th May 2005 anonymous | California Cruisin' - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. What an amazing - and a little wacky - idea! Have a wonderful time, make sure Forest practices his Spanish, and be sure to stop and smell the roses - or California poppies/ Texas bluebonnets / Georgia peaches. I'm in South Africa right now, but if I cross your path at any time, how about a pint? Niki C - Niki |
| 8th May 2005 anonymous | woo! - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. well, i'll miss you in sf by 2 days. bummer. but i'm sure you'll have an awesome time on the bikes, lucky kids. bike safe! - janel |
| 8th May 2005 anonymous | Good riddance - er, I mean luck... - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. I wish you both the best of luck! And at least there's one picture of both of you smiling on the website... - Charles |
| 8th May 2005 anonymous | Sounds like a blast to me. Road trips are always fun and your planning sounds just like me, at least the lots of eating! Be sure to watch for dogs in the back of pickups! - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. - JD |
| 7th May 2005 anonymous | good song to send you off with - From: Dumb, dumb, dumb. Got no friends in Arizona Got no friends in ol' Utah & when I get to Colorado I won't know a soul there at all So, stay a little longer, my baby For I sure need your company 'Cause in the mornin' I gotta leave I'm gonna cross this wide country Yeah, I'm gonna cross this wide country Yeah, the planes they're makin' don't fly high enough And the trains are rollin' off the tracks And my engine just said, "bye" to my garage You don't know when he's comin' back So, stay a little longer, my baby For I sure need your company 'Cause in the mornin' I gotta leave I'm gonna cross this wide country Yeah, I'm gonna cross this wide country Savin' up my lady's misfortunes I'm ridin' the dust on the wind And there's holes in my shoes, my buttons are loose And there's no tellin' where I've been And when I see that sun risin' Across that East Atlantic shore It's not because I woke up early, no But I stayed up from the night before So, stay a little longer, my baby For I sure need your company 'Cause in the mornin' I gotta leave I'm gonna cross this wide country Yeah, I'm gonna cross this wide country I'm gonna cross this wide country! I'm gonna cross this wide country! -Trevor Garrod of Tea Leaf Green - StillGroove |
