And with that, I bid you a great holiday season, filled with dreams ? or actualities ? of bicycles and bicycling. I plan to be back here at the blog on January 9th. (I'm trying to give Jenn "GeoPoints Bulletin" Milyko an opportunity to catch up. So far, the two of us lead the Adventure Cycling "most-posts pack" with me at 141 and Jenn at 139.)
