A bit of a late start again this season. Too much snow fell in
April. I started a new job in April at Cray. Some travel involved and
that cut into my biking miles this season. I must say that most of the
summer, though, was picture perfect weather for biking. No complaints
here. All things considered, it was a good biking season. The most
memorable part was Jim's and my Damn The Headwinds, Full Speed Ahead Tour
to Green Bay, WI.
