by me, Kerry Burgess, 2016
That was the year 2001 when I rode again the Seattle-to-Portland organized bicycle course but that was the year I pedaled by myself that 200 mile course and in one day. Well, less than one day. I can't now recall my finish time. 15 hours? 18 hours? Can't recall. Somewhere around there. I know I finished before dark. Can't recall now the date of that event but I think that was before my participation in Ironman Utah which was 6/8/2001.
In STP 2001 there were always bicycle riders around me, even when I reached the finish line after 200 miles.
But there was one stretch when I suddenly found myself alone.
I remember telling coworkers about it later when I was back at work in the office.
I had thoroughly researched the course route, as the people I rode with the previous year knew from my navigation for our formation, but that year by myself the only map I brought with me was in a heavy satchel attached to my bicycle and in the memory of my Microsoft Pocket PC.
That device was one of the early tablet or smartphone computers and I told people I had counted on it because it had Microsoft MapPoint on it, but then as I think this through this makes less sense.
For some reason, that device did not work for me that day. But why, I am now sitting here wondering. I want to say that I told someone that I found myself lost at one point and that was all right because I would just pull over to the side of the road, or a convenience store in that case, and pull out my Microsoft Pocket PC and check the map. But that failed because I had forgotten something. I want to say I had forgotten the power cord but that makes no sense because I remember another time using it without the power cord. So I know it was battery powered. Yeah, definitely. Some of us were sitting in the movie theatre one day and I referred to it as my "onboard computer"

"The Sum Of All Fears" by Tom Clancy, author
excerpt, Chapter 18
Bock walked through the nearest open gate, just a few meters from the big ABC vans that carried the satellite equipment for the evening broadcast. He took the time to notice that the stadium was hard-wired for the equipment. So the TV vans would always be in the same place, just by Gate 5. Inside, he saw a team of technicians setting up their equipment, then he headed up the nearest ramp, deliberately heading in the wrong direction.
The stadium had to seat sixty thousand people, perhaps a little more. It had three primary levels, called lower, mezzanine, and upper, plus two complete ranks of enclosed boxes, some of which looked quite luxurious. Structurally it was quite impressive. Massive reinforced-concrete construction, all the upper decks were cantilevered. There were no pillars to block a spectator's view. A fine stadium. A superb target. Beyond the parking lot to the north were endless hectares of low-rise apartment buildings. To the east was a government office center. The stadium was not in the city center, but that couldn't be helped. Bock found and took his seat, orienting himself with the compass and the TV equipment. The latter was quite easy. An ABC banner was being hung below one of the press boxes.
"Hey!"
"Yes?" Bock looked down at a security guard.
"You're not supposed to be here."
"Sorry." He held up his tickets. "I just bought them, and I wanted to see where my seats were so that I would know where to park. I've never seen an American football game," he added, heavy on the accent. Americans, he'd heard, were always nice to people with European accents.
"You want to park in Area A or B. Try to arrive early, like before five. You want to beat the rush-hour traffic. It can be a bear out there."
Gunther bobbed his head. "Thank you. I'll be leaving now."
"No problem, sir. It's no big deal. I mean, it's the insurance, y'know? You have people wandering around, they might get hurt and sue."
Bock and Russell left. They circled the bottom level, just so that Gunther could be sure he had the configuration memorized. Then that became unnecessary when he found a stadium diagram printed on a small card.
"Seen what you wanted?" Marvin asked when they got back to the car.
"Yes, possibly."
"You know, that's pretty subtle," the American mused aloud.
"What do you mean?"
"Dickin' with the TV. The really dumb thing about revolutionaries is that they overlook the psychological stuff. You don't have to kill a lot of people, just pissin' them off, scarin' them, that's enough, isn't it?"
Bock stopped at the parking-lot exit and looked at his companion. "You have learned much, my friend."
"This is pretty hot stuff," Ryan said, leafing through the pages.
"I didn't know it was that bad," Mary Patricia Foley agreed.
