Bring your own hot dogs. They get roasted right in the street and they pick up that nice smokey flavor. If that doesn't appeal to you, you could have lunch at Danny's Drive-In in Ashland. Stop by and see if the Lokie and Pioneer tunnel are open. Big fun for all!

Be careful. The roads up here are still full of salt and cinders.

looks like snow is coming this way. Sucks, but the only way to avoid the stuff might be to ride south.

Or maybe a dirt bike ride.. hmm..

pirelli MT60 R corsa radial. it's a 90/10 tire. looks like the largest is a 160. i would not be comfortable running this tire on a 5.5 inch rim. sux, i was sure they made a 170.

Geez, everyone's sick? I wrenched my friggin' back and don't know if I'll be able to ride this weekend, either.

Lemme guess ... a nice, relaxed pace ...
