[Bent] today's Manhattan ride

[Elizabeth Eakin]

I'm sorry I missed all your messages due to being on the digest  
list...and consequently was not at the ferry till noon. Some tour  
operators had seen you go by, so I knew I had missed you.  
Serendipitously, however, I made the acquaintance of another 'bent  
rider on the way over so not  all was a loss. (Steve Jackel; he said  
to tell you hello.) I hope you had a lovely ride, and I hope to ride  
with you next time.
