“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers..."

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be never so vile. This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.”

Change a few words, and the old boy about sums it up for the experience of those that pushed the limits of endurance in Iowa a few weeks ago, including our very own Tim Ek...pretty cool quote by Shakespeare...I think that I would have enjoyed partyin' w/ da Shakester...

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that pedals his bike with me shall be my brother; be never so vile. This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen in Duluth now abed shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that rode with us upon that April day along the lonely gravel roads of Iowa.” Sweet!!!
