Bob, Most excellent ride report and idea to combine multiple activities into a ride and S240 I will need to look at my obligations in a different light.
And Doug I didn't think about the literal implications of Bob's claim as the first S240 of 2014 but damn it Hawaii caught me sleeping...visualize me rubbing my hands together while I think/scheme to take that honor away from Bob in 2015. And the notion that we warm climate folks are inspiring and motivating the colder climes has a nice ring to it, though I suspect we are merely annoying them. Incidentally, there is an S240 in the works for January in a familiar region to you. Thanks for the Inspiration Bob, ~Hugh On Sunday, January 5, 2014 7:33:46 PM UTC-8, Statrixbob wrote: > > I was able to take advantage of a good friend's child's second birthday to > get in a wee bit of riding and camping this weekend.
