Woke up this morning, didn't see anything coming out of the sky so went out and did some miles. I gotta get the footwear thing down, toes were purple when I returned despite the chemical toe warmers, which I'm beginning to think are worthless.

Charlie-Despite my cynicism about the state of mass transit in the U.S I'm always excited when I hear about advances. I would love to be able to take the train down to DC, ride around all day and not have to ride all the way back to Bmore. I imagine they'll have to put the special bike car in the middle of the train to platform every station. I hear the Bike Friday folding bike is good. My friend has one and said similarly that it's not the bike you want to do a century on, though he did.

NR-Good pics of the Sykesville ride. The Butler store is of course very familiar, stopped there many times.
