Yeah, that would suck! I saw some folks on the news who were on their
way to Mexico from somewhere else. Just stopped in Denver to change
planes and have been there for a couple of days in the blizzard. Now
their trip is canceled and they are waiting to just get a flight back
home. Lots of friends have canceled trips too, and my workmates kids
were supposed to fly in yesterday from Ca, but won;t be able to until
Monday night.
We only got a little (maybe 6" in town) snow here West of the divide.
Monarch did well with maybe a couple of feet out of the whole storm, but
that's just a "pretty good" storm for them. They can definitely do
better! It was -8 F this morning when I got up but warmed up to 0 for my
ride to work.

I played a round at Toka Sticks today. (Williams AFB). Froze my A$$ off!
Got a little drizzle. Was around 50F, and gusting winds. So the wind
chill must of put it in the mid 40's. Cold for Phoenix, and the thin
blood types....

If you go way, way, way, way back in this newsgroup you can read my
collections of ride reports when I lived in TO. I even had hundreds of
photos that I posted up from many trails, one day I hope to put them
all back online when I get the time. I mention many, many trails that
you can check out. What bike shop? I used to know many people in the
industry. I used to road race and train with the Mississauga Road Bike
Club many moons ago...
