Shelia, yeah, I'm too far gone on the steel and big tire thing to probably ever swing back the other way. Have even been looking at the new version of the Pugsley. Yeah, right, like I "need" another fat bike.

N.Y., I am glad you are getting out and, especially, that you are able to enjoy it, despite the allergy thing. As much as I love biking and all my other outdoor activities, just getting out is still the most important thing for me. I am just plain miserable if I get stuck inside, all day.

Crankin, I think it is extraordinary that you are getting these storms, one after another. Our wether has been cooler than it should be for this time in March, but at least it's been quiet. What was snow pack on my trails, is now all ice. Can't wait for a serious thaw to get back to my trail work.

Emily, send some that warm Florida up north for us, if you can. Keep the tornadoes, though.
