The local bike club, velogirardeau, is doing a 55-mile Advance Winter Loop. (They aren't advancing Winter. Advance is the name of the town where your grandmother was raised.) From the announcement: Once again it's time to plan the Advance Winter Loop. It's a 55 mile ride, with a few rolling hills to start, culminating in one serious climb, then a whole lot of flat on the way back. My plan is to meet at 10 AM on Sunday, Feb. 22, at Cape Bicycle. From there we carpool to the start in Dutchtown. Plan to take it fairly easy, as a lot of people aren't in peak condition this time of year, and I never am. As always, the date is subject to postponement if the weather is too awful. You can view the route here: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/dutchtown/55956468 Photos from last year here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/93525584@N00/tags/advancewinterloop/ [Note: based on the pictures of folks in short sleeves, it must have been a warmer February than most I remember.] Too bad you’re not going to be in Cape Girardeau on February 22.

It was 9 degress, not 11 degrees. Like you said yesterday, a short ride at 9 degrees so you never have to do it again. Better check the thermometer again. It was 9 degress, not 11 degrees.

Adam is on his way over and we're meeting Keefer for my LHT inaugural ride. It's 64.9, with a sustained 12mph wind out of the north, gusting to 14, so Adam, coming from his house if going to feel like Superman. He's going to be in for a shock when he turns around. Did you need the third sock? You done good, kid. Adam is on his way over and we’re meeting Keefer for my LHT inaugural ride.
