Months ago, Neptunus recruited me and the girls to help make a PowerPoint presentation to help promote Holland as a host for Eurohash in 2011. Veronica and Ashlynn did the initial work, then taught me how to use the program. Click

Jimmy and the girls then got up and did a quick skit about beer. I was worried that the crowd might not appreciate the humor, but they loved it.
You can see Veronica in yellow as Holland won 90% of the votes to be the next host of Eurohash. Afterwards, we changed into our red dresses and danced, but failed to get any photos. Unfortunately, we had to skip the trail on Sunday as the time conflicted with our flight. Although we didn’t actually hash much, we had a great time.
On June 27th, two Brits, one American, 3 touring bikes and a case of wine were crammed into a funny car called a Kangoo to start a week-long cycling adventure in the province of Skane in southern Sweden. The goal was to help Camilla celebrate her 40th birthday by cycling 400K. We spent several months training in the dunes along the coast of Holland. Camilla worked hard to come up with a plan that would work for 6 women so that we would have a sag wagon to carry our luggage. Unfortunately, 3 of the women dropped out at the last minute, so it was down to Camilla, Marianne and me spending 2 nights at each location instead of changing hotels daily. We took turns driving on the German Autobahn to the overnight ferry. After a short drive, we dropped off our stuff at our first hotel in Kivik (on the southeastern coast) and started our adventure.
