Thank you all!

Kittyhead, we rode our bikes from Skokie Lagoon to the Gardens and walked a bit there before heading back. This was my first time on a bike in about two years, so that 8 mi round trip was painful, but still fun!

Also welcome to the forum!

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
