Shameless Plug:  Skunk River Cycles

Hey, boys – our man Ronn Ritz just received some fine cold weather running/biking clothing at his Most Excellent Main Street Store.  We’re talkin’ windproof long sleeve shirts/jerseys, soft shell jackets with zip-off sleeves to make a lovely (and fashionable) vest, and 47,000 tons of warm hats and gloves. Friends, that’s 26,000 tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.  And when the cold gales of November come early, you don’t want to be at the bottom of the lake they call Gitche Gumee.  So getcho gumee down to Skunk River Cycles.

(Editor’s Note:  Have you ever wanted to tell a police officer to just go jump in a lake?  Here’s your chance.  E-mail address provided.)
(Second Editor’s Note:  Hey, Jan – in the office, do you call her Chris or Sarge or Sir or Hey You or what?)

“Here is the route I made for Saturday:   http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=255490

I forgot that I will be diving in a lake in Marshalltown on Saturday, so I will not be running.”
