Thank you for the best wishes! Yes, the Blue Ridge Parkway is high on the list of must-do drives. I thought we'd make it there when the city of Richmond hosted the World Cycling Championships but it's still a bit hard to get the time off of work. All of that ends in March, however!

I've spent lots of time in Winnipeg in a previous-life. Bicycle racing in the 70s and 80s meant lots of trips to the Belgium Club, Birds Hill Park and U of M, etc. Still kick myself for not seeing Bowie in '84 (?) Love the Blue Bombers still.
