Sunny and 55 today. No rain until late Tuesday. Hope everyone gets a ride in today.

Dave (12 miles today...woohoo!)

Two sundays ago, we were biking in 60 degree weather here in sunny Colorado =P Probably could have
done the same yesterday, but we chose to go skiing instead.

I must have missed the seemingly endless blizzards that I have been digging out from.

...and posts like this that help you remind us how narrow-minded you truly are. Thanks for the
clarification post, fool.

good for you, Dave. Our ski hill just opened, which sits just 20 mi above the valley.

Go away :-)

It's 3 degrees, raining and the sun went down at 15.30 pm :-(

On the other hand just came home from a Sheryl Crow concert and I can live a long time on the
thought of sucking up some sun with her:-)

Kind regards

Bruno, Denmark

PS. I did get a ride in - on pavement and only 2x10 km's.

What, you dig? Aww, quit messing around. You'd probably just have some migrant farmworkers rise @
0330 am, just to shovel every inch of snowfall that surrounds Casa de Fagerlin...thus you'd never
even know it snowed, even if it did. 🙂

I've shoveled plenty of snow of course.

The fact that we haven't been experiencing seemingly endless blizzards, nor has much of the country,
was at the heart of my comment.

Hyperbole.

It's what's for lunch.

They adapt for the seasons. But they much prefer the warmer clims. Reminds them of home.

I would offer you our share this year, but it is usually so pawltry I would be embarrassed to make
said offer...

Yeah, its pretty funny when you can ride the foothills, and 3k feet higher, ski all you want.
Nothing quite like getting above the inversions that occasionally hold the clouds down in the
valley, and breaking into sunlight. Looks like a huge ocean of white cotton with islands poking up.
Where's that wax, anyway?

I've been on the road between SE Virginia and Washington DC for the past two days watching damp
flatlands and wet sludge that was once snow seep into the mud of the coastal flatlands. I read the
above and it caused me much mental anguish. I can picture the entire scene, right down to the angle
of the sun and and shadow cast by the mountains.

Tom....dreaming of snow and yearning to go West!

Since you brought it up, it is so awesome, it's hard to believe it's real. To be up there on a xc
trail and look down over this huge valley, with occasional mtn peaks poking up, looking like islands
amongst a vast sea of blinding white cotton. Right now, its perfectly clear, and I don't know
whether to ride, ski, or just hole up with a book by the fire.

It's rainy here. Rain, alternating with sleet. But my son's home - Christmas cycle break
already - and his best buddy, Brandon came over to play. Little Jerry just showed up, too.
Talks up a storm, but I can't understand half of what he's saying. Julian and Brandon can
follow, though, so that's all that really matters here and now. They're eating PB&J waffles
and watching "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman". They are happy guys.

Copycats, except that I had PB&J sandwiches while watching that yesterday. I was happy to be warm
after a bit of a cold ride in the AM. Today was warmer and followed up with an elk steak
quesadilla, no movie.

So I went riding. The hills were pink and lavender in the bright winter sunshine. Cold, crisp and
clear. Awesome traction with the decomposed granite packed down and slightly damp. Runners, dogs,
bikes, you could see your breath. Over a month of being laid up sick or benched by the weather, it
was WONDERFUL. Everything felt so intense, so exquisite, even the fear of a heart attack after a big
climb. Being alive.

Thanks to Kathleen and Penny, I have an image of Jer curled up in a fresh killed elk ribcage with a
hunk of cheese and some tortillas.

Now you're just being a sadist. You're probably going to go skiing this weekend too, right? What's
next, breast torture? (okay, just kidding there.....)
