Admission:
I am a "fair weather rider".
But have pushed my boundaries the past couple of seasons.
I will ride down to low 40's as long as there is sun and not too much win.
My toes always get chilly (am thinkng of using toe warmers!)
And I have a mild case of Reynaulds which makes my hands more susceptible to painful
cold/constriction/rebound issues.
But hey, I used to put the bike away at 60 degrees.

My knees are feeling much better after a season of riding.
THe strengthening of the muscles surrounding the knee joint is a wonderful by-product of biking.

I am guessing that compared to many here the 1K or so of miles
that I accumulated this season is nothing compared to what many here do. (JBotti's mileage is mind boggling AND admirable!).

Jim has about 1400 miles for this season. I have been trying to catch up, but won't make it. Next year
However, Jim has caught the mountain bike bug. And has been slowing talking me into it. Somehow, I think there may be another bike sitting on the
terrace (aka bike garage).

2 weeks til skiing in Colorado!
