Enjoy the bike before the snow comes!

It's a toss up over which smells better - the trees or the salt air. I
don't take it for granted, believe me.

I ought to be able to get a couple more weeks in before the snow ;-)

Maine is 8 months of winter and 4 of rough sledding.

Too much winter for meg I think it's terrible because I have to put up
with 2-3 months of winter weather around here. We start our "Bike for the
Health of It" program in May and run them through October. We're
considering starting it a month earlier next year - yea!! I usually find a
few days in November to March that I can get out of the trails. I just pick
the trails that get the most sun. Many of them run along rivers and I don't
want to be sliding off the trail into the water.

Oh sure - thanks. Now you have me obsessed with this bike and I have to
wish for an open winter???? Truth is, I *really* want to snowshoe and
barely could 5 times last winter. sigh

I've already been thinking how I'll have to take the bike with me to NY
when I go visiting.

I'm not sure what's available around here, we have no bike shop,
that's for sure. I'm not sure if I'd ride so much anyway with the
mosquitoes about, but I used to like riding a bike, so I keep thinking
one day I may return to it.

You can ride faster than the 'skeeters! I was getting eaten alive
walking if I forgot the bug spray.


Well, I'll definitely consider riding again if I can find a bike I
like. Right now though, saving for a delayed honeymoon, so bike will
have to wait. No bike shops in town really anyway, other than
Wal-Mart.

When you get ready to buy a bike try to find a bike shop. I think you'll
find a big difference in the quality and comfort of bikes between the two
places. An entry level hybrid from the bike shop will be much more
comfortable than one from Wal-Mart and have better quality components.
