That's our original "hippie house." It's a one-room 12x16 structure Vicky and I built when we first moved here in 1981. We doubled it in size after our son was born in 1984. That two-room complex is now connected to our much larger addition. The original hippie house is now my bike shop and the source of my business name, Little House Bicycle Repair.
Jon, I always wondered!
I see there's no snow in the Northeast Kingdom as well. 100 miles or so southeast in NH, we have the same conditions. Looks as if it will be my first non-white Christmas since moving from GA in 2001.
After last year's winter I can say that so far I don't mind. I've been able to ride more and make up miles lost due to injury and illness from earlier in the year.
The TdF is a real beauty and hardly a winter beater. If you need a frame that size to beat on through winter, I'll let you have my '80 Schwinn Traveler in HiTen. I've hung on to it too long for nostalgia reasons.
