The obligatory snow pic. March '08, I think
More recent, at the lunch stop on the Veteran's Day ride last autumn.

I love all the pics! Bruce - the Litespeed is beautiful!

That was an awesome ride. Chris was a great host.

Hey... you look familiar. We met on one of the CM rides (or one of those other downtownish group rides), didn't we? I pass your house now and again, although with the construction by the freeways I tend to cross I-20 a little further east these days.

Thought I'd post a pic of my son since he's much handsomer than his dad:
He loves his KaZAM run bike; he's been riding it around the house all winter. Can't wait for spring to watch him ride it up and down the block.

Yeah, I remember that joke about 4 seasons in Rochester.
Interesting concept. I remember someone saying that the quickest way to teach a kid to ride a bike is to remove the pedals and have them push away with their feet for a while and learn to use the brakes. Once they get the balance and braking down put the pedals on and it off they go.

Okay, I've finally snagged a photo of me in a bicycling context:

Thanks, Carl! You may notice a strong resemblance to the blue Schwinn Peloton you saw me on last June. When that pic of the Litespeed was taken, it was borrowing Blue's components. Just last weekend I swapped them back and installed new components on the Litespeed. Waiting on the weather for the first ride.

Not CM. I tried to sell you my Cannondale tourer at the Swap Meet, though. We may have chatted about my stainless Crescent at Colonel's once, too.
