Thanks! <br /><br />I’d have gone for a long ride this morning, but the lake effect snow (somehow “lake effect” is always in air quotes as if it’s not really snow) was throwing tiny icicles in my eyes, so I rearranged my errands to stay closer to home and give my eyes a few more years of seeing-able-ness. Upside: got groceries. Downside: still look like I ate everything at Thanksgiving ...

In one of them, they were riding on some cobbles, somewhere over in yourup. Phil made a comment to Paul, that Paul wasn't wearing cycling gloves. Paul responded to Phil that "Gloves were for Sissies". Over the many years, I've used that quote many times.....At times, I've altered it to be "Water is for Sissies", or other hardman comments.<br />Grumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888087510150612547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-23095475860976539322018-12-03T13:18:23.468-05:002018-12-03T13:18:23.468-05:00RIP Paul SherwenRIP Paul SherwenAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870186700642107667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-51774329335504295962018-12-03T13:05:57.340-05:002018-12-03T13:05:57.340-05:00Humbled to read about your memories of Paul Sherwe...Humbled to read about your memories of Paul Sherwen from the early days. . .
