Finally...

got outside for a longer ride. It warmed up to 20 degrees on Sunday so Ross and I headed out on the mountain bikes for a couple hours. I underestimated how wet the roads would be and got a little damp. We ended up with 3:25 ride time and some cold toes. Should have gone cross county skiiing with Rodgers.



Also, the lease is up on my Honda Element. Options include extend lease, buy it or turn it in and get something new or different. I like the Element, it works for me, but I can't seem to justify paying to get a new one. Another option is to go with something a little different.



More pictures here. Decisions, decision.

Later,

gas mileage has to be so much higher on the element. plus how many bikes are you haulin? Our element can take 3 (road,cross,or mtb) in the rear and with a Saris rack up to three more.

Actuall MPG is the same or better at 22-25 due to the 5 cylinder Mecedes Benz diesel engined that has been perfected and used for over 10 years in Europe.
