PBP 2011 dates?

[Jethro]

Does anyone know when the dates are usually published for the next PBP?

I would have thought that they would have been announced by now, even if it is still over 18-months away.

The automatic english translation of this website is entertaining.

"Sunburn

Everyone is able to protect themselves with the product or garment that he prefers. I just want to clarify here that those who roll in bed should not forget to protect their lips as particularly vulnerable."

What?

That means it starts on my 40th birthday! Also means I have to be there.

The joys of literal translations and why machines will never be able to translate languages perfectly.

roulent = roll = ride
couchés = slept / in bed = lying down

Riding lying down = riding a recumbent

Recumbent riders tend to have a more upright head position and therefore more likely to get the sun on their face/lips.

We need to remember that Hummers was there in 2007. 
It could literally mean "Protect your lips if you roll in bed"
