Addiction LXXIV

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

This had better change for the better by the 15th as I am supposed to head towards the brown area in MT/ID:

Even if it does, what does this say about the potential for western fires this summer? It's warmer in Missoula than in Philly right now, and was yesterday. Been following the weather there. Unseasonably warm.

That's a very nice setup. It would be a bit unstable if you had to use it for as a Bailey bike though.

Yes. Bailey is 32 lbs. The Doxi ( Mr. Jingles) might be 20 or less.
