Merry Christmas to all, and great riding for all the rest of the year, whatever
kind that may be that you choose.   (I'm switching to touring this year.)
     So, some of you get to go to Florida!   Nice, but I'll continue to mount
the spiked tires and ride in snow, sleet, ice, whatever. 
    I'll be riding, whatever the conditions, on New Years Day to properly bring
in the New Year (from a cyclist's perspective).
