Roy and Inge’s Engagement

This afternoon we had a great treat. Stan and the Velo Monrovia Bicycle Group had a party at which Roy and Inge announced their intentions to marry. The entire party can be viewed at the Slide Show at flickr.

For those that want to down-load the pictures the best way is first see the flickr Slide Show and view the individual pictures. It is possible to view them in all sizes at flickr. Downloading the largest sizes make for great prints if you are so inclined. The pictures are in the range of 1700 X 1200 to 2000 X 1300 pixels at flickr which should be more than adequate for 8 X 10 inch prints while the 4 X 6 inch prints are stellar. Follow the link at flickr to see the entire set of pictures. For the pictures that are on the web site here you can double click them for a larger image.

Jennifer had a chance to get a big hug from Stan and I know that she was looking forward to that as all of the girls do. We had a great time meeting with all of the riders from the informal club that meets at the Velo Monrovia Bicycle shop.

Roy and Inge’s wedding is planned for this coming Saturday just prior to the regular scheduled bicycle ride to parts unknown. The camera will be there at the wedding 7:30 in the morning for the informal ceremony before the bicycle ride to great highway route 66 of life. Now this is living. The bicycle ride scheduled for 8:00 AM will leave on time so be early to take part in the informal ceremony per Inge.

Inge was radiant this afternoon.

Besides the great party and comradery by the entire group, the wine tasting bench had a whole cacophony around it discussing the finer points for cheap wine from Trader Joes. My contribution to the general conviviality were a couple of bottles of Torres Especial Table wine from Spain. Now this is really living.

So next Saturday bright and early with camera in hand and bicycle gear at the ready the Monrovia cyclists will converge on Stan’s Bicycle Shop for a wedding and celebration ride to somewhere great. Now who could refuse and invitation like that?
