You are an inspriation!

I was just in Temecula with my daughter for one of their bike races.
I was the support (cooking and whatever else they needed) Anyway, I
couldn't beleive how cold it was. It first started raining on us and
then it snowed. I was not prepared at all for it. Brrrrrrr.

I've been reading through the posts so that I can know you all
better. I don't think I could have been accepted into a nicer group
of people.
