Get Ready for
Another Year of Fun!

Whoa! 2006 is here and we are loving the SE Ohio winter. If you don’t like it, wait a few minutes and it will change. In the last week we have seen warm temperatures, cloudy (big surprise) skies, heavy rains, hail, thunderstorms, sunny skies and snow flurries. Cooler temps are on the way.

The back roads are great right now. Get out of your heated buildings and enjoy the brisk temps. The fresh air will do you some good.

Just a reminder that winter won’t last forever. As of Jan. 5, 2006, at 7 p.m. there are only 1,727 hours until the start of the Third Annual Gravel Rouser. For you non-math majors the start date is March 17. Don’t miss this official kickoff to the riding season – it will bring many cycling bears out of hibernation. Mark your calendars and get ready for another year of fun!
