\nIt was a beautiful day today out at Pace Bend. Rumor had it that there were over 100 riders – I even saw a tandem (and not Jay).<\/p>\n
The trails were in great shape, but Leif left them a little dusty for us. Only managed to get in two laps before I had to head out, but at almost nine miles and 650 feet of climbing per lap, that was a respectable day.<\/p>\n

OTOH, Steve IS a fan of physics and of going where no motorist can go in preference to trusting a lady with her…<\/p>\n ############################################################<\/p>\n Tweets<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Where can you travel to the END of the ROAD?
