Sunday the 1st of Feb. Nobody had declined that date. Why didn't James list Jan. 31st? That's a Saturday...hmm. Doesn't matter the restaurant is open Sunday. We'll be going no matter what unless there is ice on the road. Stay tuned to this post in case the weather is questionable. Okay final date is…. Sunday the 1st of Feb. Nobody had declined that date.

I don't have winter cycling shoes either. I use platform pedals, shoes with room in them for toe warmers, I use duct tape for any holes and I'm good to go. That technique works like a champ everytime... just sayin'. Jeannine, about the footware… I don’t have winter cycling shoes either.
