RC: Down and DirtyBut Warm!

["B.E. Jackson" <riosanbravo@hotmail.com>]

Karen, don't hate me because I'm warm, but we just had a college prof and 
his wife come all the way from Amherst, MA to ride for the week and lo, if 
the weather wasn't in the 70s most of the time they were here (well, there 
was that little snow flurry when they first arrived, but that cleared up). 
Now they're looking at real estate in the area, a common side effect of 
getting to ride in your shirtsleeves in January.
