While I was working out this morning and watching people do crazy stuff (like broomstick twists while standing on a bosu ball - say what?), I had this thought,

Riding in Tucson is still awesome. You can ride forever up Mt Lemmon, but I stay low (warm) and watch the cars come back down after filling up with snow to make a snowman for the afternoon.

I think we were all on the same page — enough with the fiddle fartin’ around, fun as it was. It was time to get some continuous riding in, maybe a little flow.
