Daniel Denison 10/13/2017 3:56 PMThe weather has been pretty bad this week folks. It's forced me to come to the bitter reality that, despite my denial, summer is OVER. I was forced to dig my rain gear out of the shed which had been neatly tucked away since May. Without it I would never have been able to bike into the office all week! Gotta keep on rollin'!-
