David Travis said… - I rode home to Hyde Park on December 22 around 2:30 pm or so. It was lovely. Nice of the city to have cleared the path in the morning.

Joe Studer 8.0 mi said… - Were you riding south from the Loop on the Lake Front path with a Burley cargo trailer in the snow on December 22? If so, Hey!
I'm the guy that stopped and waited at the bend around Oakwood. As I continued on I was wondering "what other nut cases are commuting south on a night like tonight" and after remembering all your great photos and the Hyde Park connection, thought you might have been the other "nut case."
In any event, cheers!

- Does it worry you that all those lovely pictures seem to show a bike that has had its owner transported by putti, apotheosized, or taken by aliens?

- Rick is an amazing sailor, but we never have much time to talk about art, unless we are talking about his father Art.
I am currently at Columbia for my Bachelors in Cinematography and have a while to apply for grad school for my MFA. I have been thinking USC if I do not stay in here.
I have not done a century yet, the furthest I have ridden in one day was 60 miles and I did that twice over a weekend for a few months.

- I sail with Wombat, I didn't do the Mac but did just about every other regata. I hope to do frost bites this fall if I make some time.

I am on a T-10
