I think we're going to do another one. Do you think you might be interested? You can check out the project at http://www.12hoursinphotos.blogspot.com/. It was a great time. I invited Jill, but for some reason she didn't want to join us. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing one of these with us. Cheers. PS, thanks for the great blog, I get a lot out of it. Safe and happy riding to you.Jeromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984978420642327867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-74891340674323354212008-01-01T18:48:00.000-08:002008-01-01T18:48:00.000-08:00I set out today with much less lofty goals, but to...I set out today with much less lofty goals, but to ride nonetheless. Late start (some family member were ill) and 10 minutes in to the ride I realized todya was going to be short. 3-4 inches of snow on the road and heavy winds kept the tires sliding out from under me. But I got home and realized, "Yeah, at least I did ride." <BR/><BR/>Happy New Year, looking forward to more of your adventures as well as our own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-57239295316293562602008-01-01T10:53:00.000-08:002008-01-01T10:53:00.000-08:00Where does this stuff come from?
