I thought you guys were talking about Florida.

we are. hills are there. just not mountains. you have to see it to believe
it.

The snow has just melted even though we got a dusting today. High of 22 F with wind outof the north
at about 25 mph. I had a great training ride. Short but enough. 12 miles into the wind and the 12
miles back I was cooking. Steve Leuty Beatrice, NE

Hey, If I walk out my front door I have 2 feet of snow, they just plowed my street yesterday.

Oh yeah, and I hate you.

as flats if I want. There are at least two roads nearby with flats, one twenty mile section and

climb.
