The bottle pictured was filled with Nuun and not touched until I got home after about 3.5 hours. I wrenched the top off, drank what liquid remained and the rest is in the photo.
Here is another shot of the tan llama for the ladies.

I rode my first century of the New Year on January 2 with a friend:
The weather was dry and sunny, with views so clear as they only are in the winter here near Tokyo. How many valleys and mountain ridges do you count in this view?

barely into the new year and nature decided that central Illinois should be reminded what winter is really like. A bit cold for biking, but made for some fun on the XC skis!

So hard seeing the warm weather pictures!
Great idea breaking out the ski's! I can start loving XC skiing again and the snow will go away.

Lord have mercy.
A few years ago I took a group on a route which had some homes destroyed by a tornado the day before. We knew a tornado had hit but didn't know that it took out homes on our route. I remember the look on the homeowner's faces as if we had come to gawk.
I've passed two or three burned homes here in Georgia in the past two weeks, mostly out in yonder hills. People are using electric heaters and such because of the cold.

We did a bike tour in Germany in September and met up with two German couples riding the same route.
And saw this wrought iron artwork on the side of a house.

temperatures have moderated a bit, and the roads have been cleared (and heavily salted!). Not bad at all for cycling!
shown here is Cedar Hills Drive, a 14% grade going down to the Illinois River flood plain. This is why I bought a triple crank.

Probably our second lowest speed ever on the tandem was the return trip back up.

On the other hand, when I ride my heavy 'bent up that hill, the speed is around 3.5mph... ugh! Keeping it balanced at that speed takes my full attention too. I think there was at least one case where I had to get my feet on the ground quickly to avoid falling over. Starting the 'bent on a 14% grade is a lot of fun too.

I rode a 200 km brevet yesterday, from 6am to 6pm. It went around Miura peninsula south of Tokyo. It was mostly overcast, so no Mt Fuji views, but it was still nice.
Here is the view from the beach at Kamakura, which is very popular with surfers and windsurfers:
And this was an evening view, about an hour before I made it to the goal:
