Thoughts after catching up on the past few pages:

It has been a long, busy week for me, and reading up on the past few pages has been a bit of a relief of sorts. I might not take part very much, but I agree with sbxx that the thread can be- and often is- a motivator to get out on the bike more often. There's been a lot of road work going on around the main highway I have to traverse to get to work, and the weather has been unbearable in the afternoons. Luckily, the road work has finished, and the weather should be changing soon. Back to bike commuting I shall go!

Sorry to see Seedsbelize go.

There's a restaurant around here that makes a great appetizer from roasted chilled beets, grapefruit, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. I've made a knock-off version at home, and it's very refreshing.
