Whenever will this winter end?

Holla at my peoples out there in the 2-wheeled-world! Big Ups and boomshakas to all who (like me) can only afford mental counseling through their bike, while on the bike, from friends who will only hang with them if they're biking at certain speeds above 30 mph.

Short topic for the day: So what's a rider supposed to do when it's been raining cats and dogs for days, Norcal (right) and Mallorca are quickly becoming distant memories, and the Wildflower Tours are still 12 days away?????!!!!

Life's tough, that's what people say to me when I tell them I lead cycling tours in Europe. I say life's tough when you have to return to the states and reintegrate into the inescapable world of bi-partisian politics!

Well, enough for now. Soon I will be happily posting daily from the terrace on the south side of our villa in Provence...
