No way, man. 10, 181 and 178. 41 drop-ins would be pretty rare for me.

I work with a Coloradan that doesn't know MTBs @ my volunteer wrench gig. I coulda swore he'd be the only one.

Best of luck. Next time shoot for a little crazy, but not completely insane. I know, hard to find in a woman but... ;)

I have two words for you - Bliz. Zak.

They're much, much less sucky than the supposedly all-seasons that they replaced.

4" of snow and 30 F in MN is closer to a tropical storm than severe Winter weather. People are out running around in shorts, visiting neighbors and such. Hope WhyFi found his way through rookie hour out there on the roads.

Unpaid Product Endorsement

I just wanna say, I really like my BDop lid. I've had it for about 7 months. Used it for cycling, running, and even yard work. It gets washed quite a often and is holding up well. That is all.

You're aging quite gracefully, Jonesy Button.

So where would one procure a BDop lid?

EDIT: Found it. I like seams in my caps.

If and when the time comes to call it quits, this whole chapter will mean nothing unless you actually do this ^.

Age reversal was just one unexpected side-effect of using this product; I also used to have blonde hair and blue eyes.

i wasn't around to tell you so... so i'm not sure what that's about.

but i'm sorry to hear it's not working out.

Maybe Velo Vol should get one of Bob's caps.

The family motto is actually "In hoc signo vinces," but I don't think that it was accompanied with a Bridgestone logo.

Here's my headwear of the season. Wool toque hand-crocheted by the lovely and talented Ramona_W.

It's toasty but not sweaty and fits under helmets nicely.

today i get to find out how bad the fiat is in snowy weather.
i predict: terrible. i haven't driven anything other than rear wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicles in winter in over a decade.

i petitioned for snow tires, but was told "eh, it's front wheel drive, you'll be fine."

*sigh*
