  1. Tip first: if you put your gear on the hood of the car instead of the roof, you will be less likely
    to drive off with not putting it away. Not that I did that, but as I was sitting in the drivers seat
    changing my shoes, I saw the pack right there and I just thought that I was being very clever
    without even knowing it.

    But then when would we ever get to buy new stuff that goes crashing to the pavement. So far I got a
    new helmet that way.

    Should we? Anyway, the trees are taking an awful lean in that picture; need to get your cameraperson
    to line up the camera with the trees so it looks as steep as it really is...not that it doesn't look
    damn steep already!

    Good job! I wish I was doing half the riding that you've been lately.

    Oh, you are right. But you only have to turn your head a tiny bit. I posted that photo last year,
    but I thought it would be a goo illustration. The camera person is me, but you knew that.

    Ahh switchbacks, i can think of a local hill-side that could be much better with a switchback,
    rather than trying to climb up a 80% - 90% grade.

    I hope there is some sunshine tomorrow as i left my bike on the trunk rack, and now it is raining. I
    fear the seat could be a little moist the next ride (kind of a fake gel with imitation suede
    covering, or something).

    Guess _somebody_ didn't want to share the "Great Big Glowing Yellow Thing" spoke of in
    another post. ;-)

    Oh, I thought that was you in the background holding what looked suspiciously like a Kona. That's
    what I get for trashing the "cameraperson". :-)

    I've always been a hood, ever since I lost a wetsuit in about 1978.

    That SS would be "Sweet Self", I assume, unlessPenny has picked up another bike while I wasn't
    listening.

    Good job, nice tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bill(wish I'd thought of that) Wheeler The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than
    as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of
    the world.
