Still, we have had some interesting conditions ... park & ride seems like a great plan. You could still get out for rides on the weekends, you know!<br /><br />Studded tires are great. I'm very happy to have some for the LHT now instead of just the old beater MTB. It's such an improvement!Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853150604784485100.post-54833220995790018862010-12-15T19:25:08.931-05:002010-12-15T19:25:08.931-05:00Glad you are seeing some success in the weight los...Glad you are seeing some success in the weight loss.
