On the Airport ride

On the road again, though not on my bike.  After a very quick ride to Alicante, thanks to Dave Gartside and a good flight on EasyJet, we're in London under cloudy skies (no surprise there).  It is kind of nice to not be perspiring, and am trying to get over the novelty of seeing water standing in ditches and fields.  Paid 4.80 Sterling for a bottle of Peroni beer and am still quivering from sticker-shock.  I'm bracing myself for the onslaught of exorbitant swill that passes for wine on the moderate-price shelf back in Portland.  Already missing good ole Fidencio, the Eu.0.99 treasure.
Can't wait to get back on the old Trek and tackle Whaleback Road on Moody Mountain.  Salud!
