What to do with this web site?
I’ve had a number of people say they’re going to miss my daily postings about the adventures of The Dream Tour. I’m going to miss creating them. But, as a good friend of mine once said about the completion of The Dream Tour: “It’s not the end. It’s the end of the beginning.” I just need to figure out what it is that is now beginning.
This past week, I was sitting around the living room, totally befuddled from the hydrocodone I’m taking for the pain associated with my broken rib and various contusions and abrasions. That stuff makes me so unfocused that on Tuesday, I failed to notice that when I got dressed in the morning I put on two completely unmatched socks. They were both mostly white, but one had black trim and the other gray trim.
Anyway, it was in that state of mind that I decided what I’m going to do with The Dream Tour web site: nothing. I knew I was in an altered state of mind, so I decided I would “sleep on it”, so to speak. Now, several days later, it still seems like the right thing to do, so I thought I would post an entry, making it official.
What I mean by “nothing” is I will leave it and all its content online, at least for the immediate future. If you’re feeling like you need a Dream Tour fix, feel free to browse it.
I’d like to continue to write regularly about cycling and living well with diabetes, so I’m going to set up a new web site for that. I’ll let you know when that new site is ready to go. In the meantime, I’ll continue to post very occasional entries here on www.thedreamtour.org.
If you want to continue to receive emails notifying you of updates and new entries on www.thedreamtour.org, then there’s nothing you need to do. If you’ve heard enough from me for now, you can be removed from my mailing list by filling out the form here:
I’ll then send you one final email message as a confirmation that you’ve been removed from my mailing list.

Thanks for leaving the site up. Will you still check emails? Or can you send me a new email address. I like to flick through the postings and pictures from time to time. By the way, what did you do about Jersey’s?
Hope you are mending - Robby

Hi Robby,
My email address (peter@thedreamtour.org) will continue to work and I’ll continue to monitor it, so feel free to send me an email anytime.
On the jerseys, I’m afraid there wasn’t enough interest for us to reach the minimum order size (12 units). I had eight people express an interest. If I can find four more people that want a jersey, I’ll be in touch with the interested parties again and we’ll get an order started.
Thanks!
Pete

If they’ll all fit on one disc, why not make some available, or tell some unknowledgeable guy, like me, how to do it, so I’ll have another rememberance for my files?
