Trip to the mountains

[Julie Anhorn]

Wow, 3 in one day??  I don't blame ya for not riding - that has to be an
omen lol
I'd like to say thanks to everyone for the encouragement I've received these
last couple of days.  Now THAT is what I've been missing from the google
list - the caring and encouraging attitude.  I stopped posting cos it just
seemed that no one really cared anymore.
Thanks Bill for starting the post the other day - let's keep this one going!
