Thanks. I'm proud of my brudder. Maybe you mean Gustav Vigeland. We're
half Norwegian, so it must be in the genes. Well, his anyway.

Too drunk to be lonely.

Yes, I did notice the past tense when you were referring to your
gentlemanly ways.

This is within the reach of anyone.

I have relatives that knew the guy. When he retired, his life
became consumed with buying sacks of concrete and and collecting
Rhinelander beer bottles as the raw materials for his creations.

About 2 hours door-to-door, 31 miles, 3600ft of climbing. Rides, not races.

I visited my son while he lived in a nearby town, and I remember no relief
in the terrain. Now that he's in Mountain View, and I need to visit him,
I'm silly enough to brink a bike out. When do you ride? And a polite
evasion will not be met gruffly.

What size bike do you ride Sandy? When you're here I wouldn't mind putting
in a ride with you.

Yes, but will a polite evasion be met gruffly?

Riding a bike is not a political, theological, formal event. It would be a
pleasure to put a hurt on someone, socially.

Sandy: Every single Tuesday & Thursday morning, rain or shine, no matter
what. Which typically means 2-3 near-epic rides/year, maybe another dozen or
so where we get quite wet. 7:45am, corner of Olive Hill & Canada Road, one
mile north of the town of Woodside. We'd be happy to have you join us! It's
an open ride to anyone willing to suffer. Well, that's not entirely true.
The better guys don't seem to be suffering nearly as much as I do, so
suffering, for some, is optional. For me, it's mandatory.

I'm sure you know that there are some great rides over in the Woodside area.
Again - what size bike do you normally ride?

Came to drinking late. Also, being drunk helps men with loneliness
rather less than it does women.
