Kitty Bikes Brazil (…probably)

[Kitty]

Hello all!

I’m sure many of you have noticed that my activity on the forums and in general has been way down the past couple of months. This is because in May I was offered a limited-time appointment to the Foreign Service, and have been in training ever sense.

We’re now getting toward the end of that, and its time that I announce my (expected*) impending departure. I have been assigned to Sao Paulo, Brazil for 2 years. If everything goes according to plan*, our ship-out date is December 19th.

This will not be a goodbye, but a “see you later.” After this, and if/when I make it into the career service, DC/Arlington will be our home base. Like the Consular Rider, Boomer, and others, I’ll be back from time to time–for some stretches longer than others.

Hopefully I’ll be able to see folks here and there between now and mid-December. With any luck, I’ll be able to ride once I’m there and you’ll see me on Strava.
(I really need folks’ ideas on how to get my bike down there though)

Anyhoo, that’s it for now. I’ll update this thread with any farewell rides or “last chance to see me” opportunities, but until then, I’m on the training treadmill.

(*I hedge with expected/probably because there is still a chance that I will be offered a slot in the career Foreign Service, which could mean pushing things back another couple of months. Who knows? ¯_(ツ)_/¯)

I think there’s a solution: can you fit on the back of the long tail?

Fit? Yes. But you’d need a very small person with a very strong core and quads of steel to be able to pull me while not massively exceeding the longtail’s weight limit

Sounds like a job for wheels&wings.
