Happy New Year!

Well, I can see that we are all excited that it's 2008. One more year of W. Please let it be quick and painless...

Susan was bored last night and messed around with a new program she found. It's pretty cool. Subject matter could have been more interesting though...

New socks for 2008. Gotta represent for the DC Statehood folks. I think these will be part of the 08 DCMTB kit.

A friend is looking to provide you with some cool hand-made, hand-fired pottery. Check it out. Great for gifts or just around the house.

Darren has pulled off a new City Bikes Newsletter that will offer cool information and web-only specials to those interested in signing up (rumor has it there will be a 'Demo Bike Discount' coupon coming soon - Shhh!). Darren HATES spam and worthless email so he's just the guy to handle it for us. Easy opt-in, easy opt-out. Check it. The Dec edition included a $60 labor discount. That's pretty sweet.

We should be following up on the Bacon Ridge stuff this week or next. We'll find out if this will be an easy road or a long one. I can see quite a few potential roadblocks so let's hope that the county is comfortable with some new trail construction technique. They might want to study or review or a myriad of other things to slow this down but we'll see. I'm hopeful but realistic. It could be weeks, it could be months.

Go ride your bike. It's cold and windy. This is the time when you show how crazy about cycling you really are. I've already been on the bike today. In the cold. In the wind. With a trailer. It felt great.
