I admire you girls who just do it in the cold. My husband calls me a tropical flower (that's code for wimp).

I'm sorry you caught a cold, LauraPaura. You are so far north. You must have a short but intense biking season. We were in the Chicago area last September. The mid-west is seductively beautiful when it's warm. But after reading what Lise and JanetsPlanet have to stay. I think we'll just visit.
