Big News

Well, I have some news that will be very disappointing to all, well most....maybe some of you.  I want to let you down slowly so I'll begin with a hint:

Note the vegetation difference from our usual surrounding.  OK, another hint:

Note the difference in the view from our normal surroundings.  Yes, I am headed to Arizona, this Friday.  While I will be gone for a glorious long time, I will continue to post available ride or hike or cross country skiing options for those of you who will remain in central Ohio.  I'll post my ride and hike reports here as usual and welcome anyone sending me their ride or hike reports to be posted here. 

This is a trade-off of course for me.  I'll miss many of you and the fun times me have on the bike but I'll try to compensate for that loss with warm weather, sunshine and tons of outdoor activities.  Lastly, don't hate me.  I want to be here and suffer through the coldening days with you, really I do.
