I don't know what the winter has been like where you live. But I can't believe I've been out on the road 10 times this year. Last year I wasn't able to get off the indoor trainer until the first week of April. If the temp drops below 35 degrees my asthma kicks in, so that usually keeps me indoor thru winter. Went out for a ride from work and spent the first half of the ride on some little climbs. But the fun is that what goes up must come down.

The "real", Pre Colonial one, is Portland, Dorset coast, of England. It was already a Port in 1491 ..

I'll vote Portland Oregon as a bicycle giant over all others - with or without donuts.
It's gotta have more framebuilders per capita that any other city in the world. Maybe.
