[DVBC] Nice ride, Drew

[Drew Knox]

Good ride, all. The weather and big turnout sure made it a lot of fun today.
Now can we go straight to spring?

Doug Boudoir, I don't know what the hell you're talking about below. Does it
have anything to do with your third flat from the lousy rim taping?  I think
Charley figured it out without any math...
