LPH - thanks. Hard to tell that when I was in second grade I knocked all 8 of my front teeth out at once .

Mimi, CC, and Jelee - riding in the snow isn't really that hard - MOST of the time . Around here, there are some months where if you don't do that, you just don't ride. Studded tires certainly help.

And Jelee - the tandem is FUN. On that ride, we had 5 tandems out for almost 2 hours. Terrific sight (although not for some drivers).

Emily - SO JEALOUS to see you 1. racing already (my first is this weekend), and 2. racing in shorts and short sleeves! It's still COLD here, and those temps seem a LONG way off.

CC - terrific photo from your MTB race. Looks like you were having fun!
