[Jim Bronson]

I curently live in Austin, but am a native of Corvallis.  5 lbs of
water weight?  Maybe you weren't hydrating enough?

As for the weather up there...honestly, I don't remeber how I used to
run around on my old Schwinn when I was a kid in the rain and 45
degree weather.  I used to ride everywhere in the rain, never thought
much about it.  It sure does make me miserable now.   I guess the
bicycle represented freedom to me.  It doesn't hurt that Corvallis is
a really great place to ride a bike too, that made it all the more
easy to just hop on regardless of weather conditions.
