Lister,

My forecast is 40% POP and no chance of frost.
Just watch for puddles and washed out bridges.
Don't you love pinapples?
See you in the morning.
Eric

Josh, how do you manage to be up until 11.14pm on the night before a 6am ride??? Can you please tell me the trick?

Too late? That is crazy - Doesn't everyone watch Jon Stewart at 11 and Steven Colbert at 11:30 Mon-Thur? How else do you get the news from a fair and reputable source?

Hmmm, I propose that you receive extra bonus points for riding in the morning if you are up after 11 and double points for after 12 (If this works I may actually get a few points!)
