No worries, Ace.  I'm certain the hurricane and ice storm will begin promptly at 1:05 today.

If Lee's ride actually LEAVES at 1:05, it would be the most punctual Tour I've ever seen.

After years of not-so-great weather on many of his tours, I think Lee has figured out how to bring good weather - co-sponsor a giant party on a tour day!  My logic is airtight - yes.

Hey thanks so much everyone for coming out, volunteering, dancing, doing tricks, riding, taking tours, bringing your kids, drinking the specials, listening to the bands and djs and checking out the films.  We thank you, and West Town Bikes thanks you!

 

Cheers - Lee
