Hey, howabout fenders in Southern New Mexico? They dress up Ms. Giselle Bleriot, makes her look twice as classy (Woody's mahogany & oak). When we do get some rain (an event to be celebrated), there are few things so intoxicating as a ride through the desert, standing water everywhere, the chamisa and creosote bush sending forth a heady perfume, fenders earning their keep, keepin' Giselle and Marcos clean, dry, happy, and lookin' swell!

You need to be in Orange or San Diego county :). Here in CA you can always tell where people live based on whether or not their bikes have fenders (Esteban is the outlier here; he just likes fenders). dougP On Dec 20, 12:50 pm, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery <thill....@gmail.com> wrote: > Unacceptable!
