Sat.  Girl scout camp, LB (errand boy), Ted - debut (LB junior) and
myself did an interesting ride at case.  I luckily made myself a pair of
studded tires out of sheet metal screws.  Did they work - just ask LB
and junior.. "yup".. Awesome ride, case was a skating rink.  Did a 7
mile loop, and I must say LB and LB junior kicked ass for riding without
studs.  LB is teaching ted the finer nuances of riding - such as carbo
loading, smoke signals, bike websites - mtbr.com, wheelie drops, and the
long list of excuses you can use to not mountain bike..    Excellent
ride that ended in pouring rain, I think its safe to say the ice has
melted now.
