[Crimmsy]

Six years Canadian Air Force here... Kingston Ontario, Trenton Ontario, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and most recently Cold Lake Alberta. Trenton was tops for riding, being right by Prince Edward County, Kingston was good too, it was where I got into the sport but I wasn't there long enough after starting out to do any serious riding there. Cold Lake's been nice so far but not many roadies up here. Drivers are polite and give me a wide berth which is nice. Moose Jaw.... terribly boring roads but it had the best group of riders I've had the pleasure to ride with.

Yikes, sounds like MY career.

Panama 95 to 98 and Fort Bragg 99 to 03, much time at FLW in between. Damn, if we don't know each other, we probably still have a half dozen common acquaintances! Got to love the Army.

Cheers.

I've got one of these. Go Navy beat Army!

 

[gotmilk?]

That is very nice...

I've got one of these. Go Navy beat Army!

Unfortunately, I have to admit Navy has knocked the stuffing out of Army the last few years. Did you know, the Army Navy game is the most watched college football game of the year every year? That's according to one of the news channels that was doing a story on the game a few years back.

Currently stationed at NAS Patuxent River, MD. GREAT cycling around here. There are 8 foot shoulders on most of the roads for the farm equipment. Tons of lightly travelled roads. Really good cycling club with weekly races on base. Hard to beat.
