I finally did my Big Horn story and Boomer contributed as well with his own tall tale. Here's the link: http://www.my-endurance.net/profile/DebbieParsons There...

What we really want to know, Kathy, is how foggy it's going to be after dark! A full moon does you no good if the fog's in, and it's cold!! Don't forget to...
I carry an Ensure in my saddle bag during the long rides, and have learned to drink the dang things warm. Pretty yucky, but they can sure boost me up if I was...
Gosh, I hadn't even thought about poor visibilty because of fog...does that happen there? How easy it is to forget when one lives "above the fog and below the...
