Thank you tokolosh...I'm glad somebody caught the irony.

This weather is amazing here in Oregon. The only thing that betrays the notion that it's early spring is the falling leaves and fir needles on the ground. What a wonderful smell as I ride over them.

This morning I used my new light and it was great!!! It lit up my road llike it was day time (I might be over stating that.)

I have been seeing a lot more riders on my trips to and from work. I passed the same lady on the hill today. As I went past her I said, "The hills do get easier." She just kind of chuckled and said, "Yeah, when?" I just said, "You'll get there, keep riding!"

People at work still are amazed that I am still riding. they have no idea how pleasant it is!!!
