Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What do you want for the holidays?

Just wondering what everyone has on their wish lists - maybe will give me some ideas for mine!

I'd like my family to be happy, healthy, and together. Oh, and a job wouldn't hurt either.

I want there to be lots of powder in the Canadian Rockies.
Temperatures above minus 20C would also be appreciated.

A healthy and happy family. Some free time to do some serious planning. The opportunity to be the one making a lot of other people's holiday gifts.
