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

As soon as a polar bear comes knocking on my door, and asks to use my pool, I'll join in.

I’m going to jump in at the end of January when winter is at its peak. Of course, I’ll be in the Virgin Islands at the time.

Couer d'Alene is supposed to be nice.

"

Traditional Polar Bear Plunge in Coeur d'Alene will be colder than ever this year

The forecast is calling for temperatures to be about zero degrees, perhaps going as low as negative 5 degrees, with a chance of snow."

18°Hi <---Real Money 18F as the high.

We've done the NY Day Century in those temps, but the snow that's been promised will likely cancel it for the whole weekend.

Whew, I had a bad dream that the Volunteers couldn't get ten yards to kick a game-winning field goal, then lost when they went for it on fourth down in OT.

Crazy!
