That's my neighborhood shop and chances are I know the guy! Glad you had an awesome time and thanks, as always, for the colorful descriptions. ps. Don't ever get an editor, please-- it's part of your charming style and the reason I've faithfully read your blog for the past 5+ years!

Go easy on the green chili though. Elevation should be no problem after Alp D'Huez. Post a picture of your bike, that should sink the hook. @cece I believe every practicing doctor in Michigan yearns to visit New Mexico in the winter. Go easy on the green chili though.

Winding narrative? Maybe, but always a good read! This one brought me back to my single trip to Switzerland, touching the Juras a bit, but mostly in the Swiss Alps. Makes you wonder if all of alpine Europe is equally nice. I remember going to Disney World with my wife and kid in 2006. I delighted in my kid's reaction, but positively hated the artificial nature of it all. Then I went to Switzerland in 2007 and had to keep telling myself that all of these pin-neat villages were real! You really do have to see it to appreciate the sights, sounds, and terrain (the infrastructure ain't too bad, either). Thanks for the entry. Winding narrative? Maybe, but always a good read!

Isn't it just a silly American candy for a silly American holiday? I hear them say this with the french knight's voice from Monty Python. Do they have candy corn in France?

We have a local MTB ride called The Buffalo for that same reason. I also think most of my out and backs end up looking like snakes. Fatty,
