We are back to a brief blast of winter here. Had eight or ten inches
of fresh snow yesterday and it was blown in deep in the trees. Might
have been my last day out for the year since I am traveling next week.
Might get one more, have to see. It was funny to go back to cold temp,
wind, blowing snow ... winter .. after three weeks of mostly spring
like. Gives me dreams of December to tide me over through a long hot
mountain biking season.

I think we owe Al Gore a lot for having invented this global warming stuff --
we've had a GREAT year with 3-5 feet still hanging around. This is the first
season I've ever skied in either December OR April, and I did both. The
Volants are so lovely and stable I don't even mind slush any more!

GPS is slick, especially for $4 (yardsale) -- I hit 46.6 mph max, which is most
gratifying. I did that on a bicycle once -- also downhill, of course.
