I'm impressed by the active lifestyle that you and your friends are able to lead, takes plenty of discipline obviously, to stay this fit.QQ*librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948325834783761013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18306646.post-45624828201286435252008-02-25T22:37:00.000+08:002008-02-25T22:37:00.000+08:00Oh, you mean Ivy?

Ivy is incredibly adaptable; at home in any circumstance; making the best of every situation; adept and resilient in any environment; reassuring, inspiring, even comforting. She has served me for daily 2 km campus commutes; 170 km solo epics in the mountains; 45.3 C scorchers in parched valleys; -4 C in snowcapped mountains; under monsoon deluges lasting all day, along remote kampongs by the South China Sea; alone at night in forests (with mountain lions); lost traipsing around giant bays; languishing by the roaring Pacific sipping coffee; cussing up the hills of San Francisco, dodging giant potholes; scaring kangaroos, et cetera. It has been almost 12 years since I first spotted her in <A HREF="http://cupertinobikeshop.com" REL="nofollow">Cupertino Bike Shop</A>; satin midnight blue, understated, confident, silently beckoning, "Try me," — and she continues to astound, evolve, and impress, ever since.<BR/><BR/>:-)-benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192310743432432356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18306646.post-47857912554855003162008-02-25T20:10:00.000+08:002008-02-25T20:10:00.000+08:00Now, I don't know much about bicycle jargon, but i...Now, I don't know much about bicycle jargon, but it surprises me that your bicycle shares the same name as me - and no, I'm not Cloe. Haha! My name is the fruitful vine.QQ*librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948325834783761013noreply@blogger.com
