Lord of the Rings & Bike Seats



I had an interesting conversations with Doug Shoulders today. He told me he was watching the behind the scenes footage from Lord of the Rings. Specifically the part where Merry & Pippin are being carried by trees. In the footage they appear to be in a lot of pain. The behind the scenes footage explains that it is more than a mere appearance...they are in pain. And the reason...they are sitting on bicycle seats. Just a little something to think about before we take off on Sunday for our whirlwind tour of the C&O Canal. Anybody seen my powder?
