Barre Bike Run Update

Hey all.

I got a couple of quick responses to go take a look at the bikes today
from Colin and Robin, and those two, plus a dog, plus my friend Josh
who works for the city of Barre, made for a full car. But we did have
a look at the bikes and it seems like there is a pretty good
selection. Lots of department store-level bikes, but also some pretty
decent bikes as well. One that stood out for me was a steel frame kids
Jamis mountain bike.

We came back with two bikes -- I had my bike rack in my trunk -- which
are now at the space. There's a Raleigh mixte that I think has some
potential (ignoring the tacoed front wheel), and a Univega frame with
a chunk of one of the seat stays sawed off (I assume to remove a bike
lock). The Univega can at least be used for parts.

The plan now is to set up a time when we can go get the rest of the
bikes. Josh has a truck and will  likely have access to a trailer at
some point in the near future. So we have to now set up a time to get
the bikes. I was thinking the weekend of August 4th -- how does that
work for everyone interested?
