Really? I like mountain biking better than road biking, but it's much harder to go mountain biking
for me, as to get to the good places, I have to drive. I can go mountain biking once a week, at
most. I'm hoping that it doesn't rain for this year's ride, but I think that it is. I am going to
volunteer sooner or later for some NEMBA stuff.
