Hello LC bikers,

Glad to see some activity on here. I'm in Nebraska and the snow/salt/sand on the roads are making me go wall crazy. Congrats on getting your girlfriend out on a bicycle. There is truly a child in all of us to nuture and bicycles are great

I've looked at the bicycle journal site and will join when I can get out and ride.

I switched from a wonderful titanium road bile to a Volae Club recumbent this year. It is a great ride. I went and did the Hotter N Hell 100 (largest century ride) in Texas this past August and felt great on it.

I'm planning on riding Cycle Zydeco www.cyclezydeo.com in Lousiana at the end of March. The live Zydeco music every night along with cajun food everynight will blow my LC effort. But it is fun time.

Regarding your ride around Lake Tahoe. I've driven that road years ago and always dreamed about riding it. Do you know how steep the grades are? I can handle up to 11% then I truly have hell. Hopefully I'll drop some tonage and can do better.

Cheers to ya all.
Mack
