Oh, the Rolling Miles. . . !

Hey! Do you remember the EQUAL PARENTING BIKE TREK, which took place in August 2007? You know, those two crazy guys, Rob & Robb, who rode their bicycles from Michigan all the way to Washington, DC? Remember that??

Well guess what folks, they're at it again in 2008!! And by Jove, this time it looks like they're crazier than ever... yes indeed! I share the following, extracted from a recent e-mail:

Rob Pedersen himself informs me that this year there will be not just two, but five, count 'em FIVE CERTIFIED RAVING LUNATICS who will undertake the arduous, perilous, desolating journey through the bleak & tortured badlands of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland! Oh, and probably through that little northern finger of West Virginia too - I'm not sure of the route.

So, it looks like this will be a regular thing, every year? I certainly hope so. And a growing thing, too! The number of cyclists has increased by 150% since 2007, so, does that mean the trend will continue and that we can expect to see maybe 13 cyclists next year? And then more and more each year until it starts looking like the Tour de France?

Remember, this shines a media spotlight on the issues. This attracts the eye of the world. And the more that it grows year by year, the more that it will set the issues on the front burner of the public mind. And this should be of interest not only to solid-citizen parental types, but even to all of you hardcore MGTOW Ghost Nation marriage-strikers out yonder, on the margins and in the shadows! Yes, we all know who our Mortal Foe is -- the one who called for the destruction of marriage and family! And we shall all be deeply gratified, I am certain, to strike a "socko" propaganda blow at such a vital sector of our Mortal Foe's political empire!

Yes, these things have a way of snowballing, don't they? The media, the word-of-mouth, the number of cyclists -- all of it!
