Why are these folks looking so happy, though huddled together? It's because (1) it's a bright, sunny January day, whose rays take the edge off a frosty start for our ride, and (2) because they eschewed a route that included the shadowy, arctic, creek-chilled, and icy-patched Lefthand and James Canyons.
John Klever instigated this fine execution of the Platteville Poke-Along 205km:
John on the left joined by (L-R) Jane Yant, Leslie Sutton, and JLE (as whiskers):![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj35nmymZJfLGaudjDKYlxOh4wC0tcEx0wV8IZN_NdWt8V1N8opv6C6OWltrhi0LaxXAHwgmij4L09PbR60ZdcZ08ezmtKA7f8OjBsZaAfMdCn-q5rMgEPzThJkuM13tpSnhTXVUKzD9jg/s320/2010-01-30+John-Jane-Leslie-JLE.jpg)
There was time for conviviality at the Lyons Diamond Shamrock. The store entrance is north-facing, in shadow, but smart randonneurs have sidled around to the side, to find life-giving photons!

At the south-facing entrance to Sandy's Convenience Store, Leslie demonstrates another important rando principle: multitasking! Leslie is simultaneously stretching, resting her eyes, maximizing her vitamin D absorption, and eating her sandwich.

Hopefully we can enjoy a few more brilliant, wind-free days before the spring snows move in!
