Just a reminder: Come join our little biking party on Sunday -- the
shortest ride of the year on the shortest day of the year, the Tour de
Solstice. It's mostly about having fun with friends, but we'll have time
to ask questions, show off new or old toys, inquire or explain our way
with wheels, and swap lies. Don't miss it; it won't take long (we'll
probably be done by 2:00) and it will be fun.
Meet at the turtle in Cass Park on Sunday, 1:00 pm. The ride this year
will be extended to a full two miles -- though other distances will, of
course, be an option. We'll wind up at Collegetown Bagels at
Seneca/Aurora, where we can sit around for a while and socialize.
Afterward, many of us will ride back to Cass Park.
Really, there's no reason to put away the bike for the winter. If you
haven't tried it, you can talk to some of the people coming to the ride
about year-round commuting. And, if you have tried it -- well, you know
how great it is and you'll be there, right? BikeIt people will also be
there to talk about next year's ride to Detroit and how people can get
ready for it by riding through the winter.

Oh, for the astronomy police -- I know the solstice is really on Monday.
Sunday just seemed like a better day to have a mid-day fun ride. But, it
turns out that, as regards the shortness of the day, Monday has no
special claim. What with the wobbly axis of the planet and whatever
other bits of chaos in the works, the day with least daylight can be off
by several days, and Sunday is pretty much as short as they get.
