Merry Christmas Ladies

[jobob]

And a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the wonderful women on this list for sharing your joys, and sometimes your frustrations, with this wonderful sport / hobby / pasttime.

I joined this list a little over a year ago and over that time this list (meaning, you) truly enhanced my life. I started out tentatively dipping my toes in the proverbial stream and you encouraged me to take the dive. Thanks in large part to you all, I've discovered the joy of cycling, which will hopefully last my lifetime.

And a big shout out to the women on this list I've had the pleasure of meeting and riding with - snapdragen, melissam, Veronica, aka_kim, Adventure Girl, and Trek420 (also known as Mondonico ). I'm cheap and lazy, so consider this my X-mas card to you. It's been a pleasure getting to know you all. Looking forward to our next epic adventure(s)!

Finally, very special greetings to Susan, Jeff, and Marjon of Team Estrogen. It was fun to meet you all at the Cinderella, and hope to see you there again. I'm deeply grateful to you for sponsoring and administering this list. May 2005 be happy, healthy, and successful for you.

OK, I'm getting sappy now. Must stop.

Cheers, - Jo.
