After I took the pic of the tree, I rode around and through the park about a dozen times so my bike and I could hit every pine cone, twig, and patch of mud. The wider tires are great! If I hadn't been trying to be sure I had enough energy to ride home and if I'd had a way to track my mileage, I'd be out there still. I can't wait to go back another day and then move out onto trails. Seriously, it's the most fun I've ever had that didn't involve sex.

Schwinn Varslty and Continental bicycles were unfathomable pieces of cast iron ****. They were everywhere when I was in high school in the early 1970s (class of '75). I can't wax nostalgic about them.
They're calling for 3-5" here tomorrow. More snow. Thank God, the 3 FEET in the yard, that's not enough.

So, I was told it's cool to just jump in here, and that if I bring a pic of a dog, bridge, or bird I'll get a gold star.
Where's my gold star?

That's a full carbon-fiber macaw with a Dura-Ace beak and talons.

You really don't want a gold star here. It was a white star before we soiled it. Sorry.
Needless to sat, the brown star is even less desirable.

Can you tell us how great the weather is in CA? I am sick of these moaning minis going on about the polar vortex.
